Raw water.

We just called it a pond. Or swamp. Or bog.

Pretty sure I can get some microbe-rich water for free.

"A surge of energy and peacefulness entered my being,"

"This water is really, really important because of what's not in it. Not because of what's in it. It's so incredibly naturally pure. It has to be a healing tonic. It has to be. 'Cause we're water creatures,"

"I have customers that swear by it."

"Mother Nature doesn't lie,"


I'm sold!

Yeah.... ah.... more holes in this theory than a garden watering can. What's next "organic water"?

I'll pass on that! Not even because of the price per bottle alone but it's indeed a factor.

Took enough risk drinking pond water as a kid. I will pass. If it was tested for bacteria etc i may give it a shot. But not for $16.

Like 'sugar-free and fat free', an 'Amoeba-Free' label will help to draw in new customers for this 'all-natural' hydration product.

I grew up on well water. Wonder what the cost per gallon was. Zero filtration. Great stuff. But, it wasn't some miracle product. It was just....water. People are ridiculous. But, hey, if you can get someone to pay $16 a bottle for it, sure why not. I've said before, if you can market garbage..."pure garbage".....Retards would buy it. Maybe this is the time to try it.

After Whole Foods was able to trick people into buying asparagus water, nothing surprises me anymore.
