Look I really don't care, personally, I'm just trying to clarify all this because it sounds like I/we got this wrong.. but I would wager that something was told in one of those emails (and I haven't seen them) that at a minimum gave the impression that y'all would be paying for soda.
This scene sums breeze up perfectly lol

I think both. The email we got was a forwarded email, it wasn’t from someone in flight Ops but someone else within the company. The water bottles being referred to were not the small free 4oz ones you saw, but a full size water bottle.
the follow up email to clarify everything says everything is free to crews. Snacks are not specifically mentioned, but snacks were never officially free to anyone on DL/AA/UA either… The one free bottle came from the way the deal was structured with the provider of the catering and supposedly was for accounting purposes, not to limit crew members in what they can have.
so no, I don’t know the exact answer. If I had to guess it’s somewhere in between the two, but in either case, water was never being charged for and the “policy” is gone.
