I'm not disagreeing with anything that you clipped except to say that I don't

know who would pay $6 for a bottle. I bought a liter bottle for $1 at the

grocery.

Here is one bloggers rant about Smart Water: (he actually reviews beer LOL)

save your

bucks for good almond flour!

" Any way, this SIX-DOLLAR water apparently features a formidable and varied

dose of

electrolytes in case you lose some trying to punch the cash-register open in

hopes of

recovering your six dollars. This " electrolyte-enhanced beverage " is also

supposed to be

" different " than all other unpalatable kinds of mineral water because it isn't

taken from an

underground , bat and pirate-ridden well, but from the fingers of whatever

air-inhabiting

deities you choose to believe in. Yes, that's fully correct, because on the

back of the bottle,

it says that " spring water comes from the ground and contains random stuff. "

In addition

to this, obviously a conspiracy against spring-water bottlers and

distributors, the makers

of this " smart water " claim to send their migrant workers up on Pegasus-driven

chariots to

the clouds to pick each droplet from a cloud and combine enough to make my

bottle cost

six unbelievable dollars.

As charmed as I was at first, with their complaint that " clouds get a bad

rap " , I quickly put

to the bottle down to realize that it was all a front. This company wasn't

championing the

rights of clouds and joining that new celebrity-PSA campaign to reduce hate

crimes

against nebulous, gray, airborne blobs, because it wants to " one-up clouds "

and thereby

make them obsolete. How many times have people fallen for this one? Save the

Whales?

Please, these guys want to seemingly " rescue " clouds and " civilize " them with

these

" electrolytes " only to leave original cloud-picking migrant workers and the

soft, super soft

and cuddly clouds they depend on completely hung out to dry. I say propose

that Cold

Beer Nation readers go online (already here!) and sign petitions to stop evil,

no-goodnik

corporations from rendering our majestic clouds obsolete by trying to pawn off

these

impure " electrolyte " substances on our public. Besides, the scare-tactics

verge on

political-ad scathing, with urination-inducing lines such as " unless, of

course, you have no

taste buds, " in case you happen to object to the necessity of the product.

Oh by the way, the water was pretty tasty as far as water goes. I don't think

the six dollars

was that bad after all and besides, it makes you look really cool when you

drink it, like

using an ipod or something. "
