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

They do add minerals into it....

So its reverse osmosis filtered tap water with minerals added....

The only real waters that are actually not from a open spring or tap water is Fiji water which is pumped from an underground aquifer deep in volcano rock....never is exposed to the environment above ground....

“why would anyone be willing to PAY for such an item?”
A classic from Penn and Teller’s BS program...

If that wasn’t irradiated, it could have killed some of the customers who bought it. In order to be shelf-stable without refrigeration, vegetables and fruit must be irradiated (aseptic) or properly pressure cooked and properly sealed.

Penn couldn't have said it any better than his line where they showed the guy pouring hosewater into those bottles... "I love this f***ing show!"

My old roommate and his now ex-wife were exactly like those couples... every few weeks we would go out for dinner as a large group... they would regularly want to go for sushi... or a snobby Italian joint nearby... and they would just fawn over anything expensive just because it was expensive.

Every time the Prententious Foods for Pretentious People writeup that Carlin did in Brain Droppings came to mind.

Just thinking of "Wolf Noodle Soup" cracks me up... and who can deny their love of Candied Goat Anus?

Ah, yes... I'll have the grilled cheese sandwich.

I didn’t know there was such a thing. Maple water even sounds good. Does it taste at all like maple syrup? LOL

The asparagus water in the bottles look like a biology experiment from school.

Now you’ve done it. You just dissed everyone who shops at Wholefoods and pays exhorbitant prices just to show how liberal and nerdy they are!

Did you see the article a week or so back that stated the Whole Paycheck’s mislabeling the “organic” foods and is really buying a lot of their stuff from China?

LOL!
