Provide Clean Water + Get Armani Swag = No Question!

If you've spent any time on social media lately, you've likely come across pictures of jugs like this:



But what are they?

Many celebrities and social media stars are involved in the "Acqua for Life" challenge where they have to survive on 10L of water a day.  Not only just for drinking, but also little things like brushing their teeth, washing their hands, bathing, doing laundry, etc.  Think of it kind of like the "Ice Bucket Challenge" which helped raise awareness for ALS research.  Only this time the participants are actually putting themselves in the shoes of young children who are in need of clean water.

"But TMG," you say, "what the hell does this have to do with me?  Why should I give one of my limited fucks about another social media campaign."

Well, first of all, you're well within your right to question a campaign led by a massive corporation like Giorgio Armani because, let's face it, you can't trust most corporations nowadays.  However this is actually Armani's 7th year doing this campaign in partnership with none other than UNICEF, so it's not some craze or shady attempt at trying to seem more empathetic to gain new customers.  Armani and UNICEF mean business with this project.

"Ok, fine, I'll help the little shits get water.  How can I help?"

I'm glad you asked!  There are actually three ways via THIS SITE:



1: You can purchase an Acqua di Gioia 'Acqua for Life' gift set for $90, $5 of which will go directly to the project, which is enough to provide clean water to one child for 4 months.

2: You can purchase a limited edition massive 6.7 oz. bottle of Acqua di Gio for $110, $15 of which will go to the project, which is enough to provide clean water to one child for an entire year.

3: Or, if you're broke/thrifty/don't like the fragrances, you can also purchase a Giorgio Armani bracelet + sample of Acqua di Gio for $1, the entirety of which will go to the project and provide clean water to one child for 1 month.

Plus, if you use PayPal to complete your purchase, and additional $1 will be donated to the project.

Personally, due to my lack of fundage PLUS my ambivalence toward the Acqua di Gio cologne, I'm going to go with the $1 option.  Plus I'm going to use PayPal so $2 will go to the project.  It doesn't sound like much but it means that somewhere a little kid is going to get clean water for 2 months.  For $2!

Come on, there's no question about it.  Don't be a dick.  Help the little shits get water.
