I think it's a rip off,half that "bottled" water is most likely from down the street anyhow.Marketing ripoff.Usually people fall for the wrong thing.

You won't buy it and he'll still make a fortune.

True indeed,if he did not see a market for it,he would not be attempting another great American rip off.

I think this is brilliant. This guy had me at Capitalism. And he will probably make a fortune. Good for him. I wish I'd thought of this.

Agreed, great idea ... I'm a sucker for bottled water so I guess I'm the target market anyways.

"What's that?"
"That? That's the last redwood."
"We'd make a fortune if we made it into souvenirs."

I lived off of Antarctic ice melt water for a year. it has no minerals, and will actually leach calcium and other minerals from our body's storage. This water will be flavorless and uninteresting. It's cool knowing that the water you are drinking predates the Industrial Revolution and internal combustion engines. And, I have made beer with it, where it works just fine. But, in reality, it is just not that impressive.
