Bigger than the Bottle | Atlanta 'water boys' turn street hustle into company

[@JohnnyWhytetrash]

4 to 5 young Black men blocking your path until you pay $20 for a warm bottle of water.

[@ThaSmoothness]

Car is unstoppable tho

[@merastvchannel]

4 to 5 understanding people in one place = creating a better world

[@nicolammorris]

One time I didn’t buy some water from them they threw a bottle at my face.

[@nofreehooks]

Not these dudes that did that. There’s a lot of people that sell water.

[@Little_Italy768]

This should be top comment. Fuckin hilarious truth of this whole watered down extortion scheme.

[@vvstyy]

One time a water boy didn't make a sale to my step father and he broke the side mirror to his truck. This is equivalent to the Kia Boys making their own car lot off the expenses they make from stealing cars. If I wanted some water I'd go to the damn store. All that time spent on those street corners could be spent in a library or after school activity. These think pieces are doing nothing to actually help these kids. Shining light on one corner isn't going to motivate these kids to do something positive when they're being rewarded for nothing, even getting mad at those who don't reward their behavior. Piss off with that bs.

[@KourtKhronicles]

Black women, if you love your life and your safety, please move out of Atlanta.

[@ThaSmoothness]

Not just black women, just anyone.

[@armurray359]

Did haven't any teach me about money or how to make business legally. If you know what it's like to not eat for as long as 3days in a row, that's being hungry. Once I figured out how to make money and legally, never got hungry again. This story inspires me to never stop being on the grind. Am about to retire from corporate life, in my mid-60s and will never stop trying help my family, others and myself.😊 Keep it up Atlanta Water Boys!!!

[@makaveli1871]

Turning Atlanta into a third world country, no doubt about it.

[@sharonhampton3864]

I want the boys to wear SUNSCREEN, in the hot weather Everyone needs it Take some of the earnings and go get 20-30 spf strength 😀

Water Boyz 🗣 "U Gon Be Big" in my Webbie voice. Stay down 💯

[@quian1of1]

they all in folks car. move around bruh idc

[@Summersoft88]

These young men must learn the first rule of sales . Your presentation means everything. Don’t intimidate your customers or they might report you or harm you if they feel threatened. So tighten up your game. Learn from the nation.

[@Bmg009]

Ok, I actually heard a mother in an interview about these water boys and her son, she said if they make him stop doing it he’s gonna have to do something else illegal to make money for whatever.. so ur telling me you just can’t get a normal job like other human beings? You gotta do something shady? Such bs, great mother.

[@MonaLissaJohnson]

Hey ATL I like you the water Boys and the hood I seen that video and I like how you say you are look out for your mom I'm in Dallas Texas and that's very nice what you said about looking out for your mom and helping your your brothers and sisters so they won't have to go through what you're going through say I'll salute to y'all y'all stay soldiers and keep keep it up and look each other and God bless ❤

[@javionriley8739]

The city of Atlanta must get a contract going with this brand & put this water product in the Airport,also all the metro Atlanta counties/school districts (Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Henry Rockdale, Douglas ,Cobb ,Gwinnett, Newman) must give this black business contracts to expand there company via buying water exclusively from them & selling them at public events, school games, etc & have them sold in local stores

[@Little_Italy768]

[@chrisneal5556]

Do they pay taxes?

[@ThaSmoothness]

Nope! They need to or they're not contributing

[@Eleanor25589]

we waz camels n sheeeeeeit

[@Annie-ex3ge]

Awesome! They showed real drive, entrepreneurship, smarts and courage! To all you naysayers: What do you know about growing up on the breadline, trying to help the family out with money as a kid? Selling water is by far the best idea they could have come up with.

[@johanleon5358]

And you celebrate this?? Have you seen their attitude when you don’t want to buy them water??

[@michaelsmiley15]

Technically there sub contractors They buy they case and sell direct Probably at a 30 percent mark up Nothing illegal about it When you have that drive to work an earn all you need is business education and you will go far I would love to see these gentlemen on shark tank

[@MonaLissaJohnson]

I see you graduate God bless her

[@atlhomeguide]

I love it, buying me a hat and hoodie

[@Little_Italy768]

They throw shit at your car if you don’t buy a water. They don’t make change. They take your phone and cash app themselves. Just a few situations I’ve heard from these extortionists. Go buy your goofy hat. Clown shoes bro.

[@normanbell-br7nf]

[@pgppe9488]

Intelligent blacks should be ashamed for trying to normalize young boys standing on the street instead of being in school or in the library reading a book.

[@spydaweb3008]

[@Alphakennabuddy]

I hope these kids realize people will buy the water to help the kids out. And stop being scums

[@marilynnjones951]

So happy for them... you never know where the next generation of Robert Johnson,Bryon Allen, will come from. Hopefully, they will get the business education for development,sustainment, and true legacy--they are the good that you dont see highlighted on the news!

[@kimerietate8372]

I don’t have a positive opinion of Black males, but these boys are truly TRYING, and it’s not easy work to stand outside in the heat and cold, and sell water.It’s sad that they have to provide for their families, because the fathers dipped.

[@rza380.]
