Liquid Death is canned water in a heavy-metal tallboy. 2THIRTY is a 5-in-1 functional mixer. Here's where each one wins and where they don't even compete.
These aren't really the same category, but people ask the question, so here's the honest answer. Liquid Death is water (and now flavored sparkling water) in an aluminum can with great branding. 2THIRTY is a powdered electrolyte mixer with 17 active ingredients. Different jobs.
Liquid Death sells water in a can — zero sugar, zero electrolytes (the still water has no added minerals), great branding. 2THIRTY sells a powdered mixer with electrolytes, B-vitamins, amino acids, and liver-support compounds. Use Liquid Death when you want a cold can of water. Use 2THIRTY when you want what's in the glass to actually do something.

Liquid Death wins on grab-and-go convenience, branding, and the simple fact that it's just water in a can. If you're at a venue or store and want hydration with no ingredients to think about, it's the right pick.
2THIRTY wins when you want hydration that pulls double duty — focus, energy, recovery, pre-covery — and you'd rather not pay $3 every time you want a drink.
If you want water, drink Liquid Death. If you want what's in the bottle to also support your energy, your training, or your night out, that's a different product — and that's 2THIRTY.
Their still water and sparkling water don't add electrolytes — they're packaged mountain water with trace minerals. Their iced tea and flavored sparkling lines also don't add functional electrolytes. For an electrolyte hit, you'll need to add something to the water.
Yes. One scoop of 2THIRTY mixes into 12 – 16 oz of any water — still or sparkling. A lot of customers do exactly this for the carbonation plus the functional ingredients.
2THIRTY — by a lot. Sodium and BCAAs help with sustained training; plain canned water doesn't.
