"why would anyone be willing to PAY for such an item?"

Before drinking it you might want to wave a Geiger-counter over it. I was deployed in the arctic of Norway and we were advised not to use the snow for water due to it being contaminated during the Chernobyl incident.

ROTFLOL.

Their Three Wishes wine if very good for about 2.50 a bottle.

I can’t remember what brand it is, but there is one bottled water that is nothing more than tap water.

When I’m in the Philippines, I try a lot of crazy stuff. One was moonshine from coconut, I kid you not.

I live near the beach in Davao City, Philippines. At the local resort, Bago Beach (read that as a place to pay 20 pesos (50 cents) to get past the barbed wire fences), I walk my dog on the street outside. I watch these skinny guys climb coconut trees daily, harvesting the coconut water. They process it and hang it back in the trees in bamboo containers, where it ferments.

it is a favored drink for lots of folk, my wife' family included. I tried it. No thanks! I'll stick with red wine and Johnny Walker Red!

As for Balut, it is duck eggs, normally, not chickens!

Here is a link to a YouTube video showing the process of making Tuba (coconut wine)...

Dasani water is just filtered tap water. It’s owned by Coca Cola.

Just the thing to add that extra BUZZ......

theres water bottled at a geyser in Calistoga CA...which is the best stuff Ive ever drunk. First encountered it in 1971 and have never found anything better. It tastes right!

BTW, the Brentwood/Delta area is where 90% of the country’s asparagus comes from.

My 3 year old loves it and it’s pretty much all he drinks. My husband will drink it if he’s working outside and sweating a lot. I can’t get used to the flavor of it, but I love the coconut meat.

Yer’ right, it’s duck egg. My brother got married in Boracay to a great sis-in-law so I now have family in the RP. I miss everything from eating fishballs at the street sidewalks to someone waking me up so we can flag some dude who sells “taho” early in the morning (or afternoon US pacific time). and don’t get me started on Ginebra ans Red Horse..

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Oh yeah, me too. I love coconut. It is just the water that makes me gag.

That’s cute about your 3 year old. Mine was a big regular water lover. He didn’t like juice or pop or much of anything except water. Milk some. But mostly water. I was glad because he also loved to shake his sippy cup in the backseat of the car and let it spray all over him. LOL.

[grey_whiskers]

There’s a reason they call that store “Whole Paycheck...”

[LouAvul]

stinky body order sweat.

Why would you order stinky body sweat?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Well I didn’t mean to. I bought some coconut water just to try it. That is what the taste made me think of.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Haha. The joke is on me. I misspelled odor.

order = odor

[rikkir]

ROTFLMAO!

That’s not fair! You made Pepsi come out of my nose!

I once had brussels sprout steeped in Pink Floyd. For a short time, I understood the entire universe.

I know exactly what you're tawckin about!

...but mac-n-cheese from a box sometimes has to do.

You can afford mac-n-cheese from a box?

[rikkir]

Isn’t it a rotten Duck Egg?

That dude Zimmernman ate one on his show, and I thought I was going to puke on the dog.

[867V309]

What?
That’s probably the most incoherent, non-sequiter response I’ve ever gotten on this forum

Ease up, dude, you'll harsh his chill.
