Water has a specific density of 62.4 lbs per cubic foot. Period. You can *purify* water by boiling it, catching the steam, and condensing the steam in another container, but you still end up with good ol' bowling-ball-butt water. This site is a joke. Do you know how something is dehydrated? You heat it! What happens when you heat water? It changes to steam. Nothing left in the pot. This is one of those "try at home" things. Boil some water in a pot and watch it. Yes, it will boil. Watch the water leave the pot. Look in the pot and ask yourself, do I want to spend $5 on this? If you want to send them $5 and report back that you are an idiot, go ahead.

Uh, yeah. Thanks for clearing that up, Sparky.

HEY GUYS!! Don't knock dehydrated water!!!

Cause' on Space Quest - yea, freakin' Space Quest the computer game.. and not the new one that has 320*240 graphics.. I'm talking the OLD ONE that has like 160*120 graphics - the graphics that newer monitors can't even display right.. (cause' they suck)

Anyway.. there's this part were you get a thermos type thing of dehydrated water.. nearly 10 gallons of it in one little thing that you carry after your escape pod crashes down.. and there's this big fat beast that you have to kill.. so you throw the dehydrated water at it and it explodes in his stomach.. it's cool.

Don't even joke about DiHydrogen Monoxide. We had a big scare a few years back about that. The radio said our water supply was contaminated, so we had to boil our water and such to get it out. Thanks god non of us got sick, although we did urinate alot...

Yeah, I can relate to that one, XZeroII. My town had some of that a while ago. It cost over $100 million to fix the problem, but while it was being fixed, the city gave everyone 100 gallons of bottled water a day to drink, cook with and bathe with. Watering your lawns was prohibited too.

Anyways, as this thing contains DiHydrogen Monoxide, I'm not worried about it. Tons of weenie people drink gatorade, which contains potassium chloride, which is used in the lethal injection (3rd injection) to stop the heart. Just goes to proves that as a solid and liquid, reactions happen differently.

That's why if Magneto was real, he couldn't kill someone by ripping the "iron" out of their bodies, because iron ions are not magnetic.

I got a call from them yesterday and it says there were problems with my credit card. This morning when I looked, I couldn't find my credit card. I hope it wasn't stolen. I'll have to resolve these issues quickly, so I can see what sort of product I'll get.

I bet I'll get a bunch of Sea Monkeys like in those magazines when I was a little kid.

There's no such thing as a horseless carraige. I mean, without the horse there would just be a carraige!

Okay, I got everything all straightened out. My gf was using my cc this weekend, so that's why I didn't have it. Anyways, I called and they told me that I would get a 50% discount because it was all their mistake about the credit card being rejected, they didn't read my alternative address line. So now I get 50 gallons for $2.50 (you're all so jealous I bet). Muah ha ha!!

I should have it by Friday, I'll let you know what I get. But if I don't take in anything but dehydrated water, does that mean I don't have to pee?

Finally got my water yesterday. It was so funny. I got a small Evian water bottle (sealed and all) and it said that it was dehydrated water, and that I should be extremely careful not to drink the water when it is this "CONCENTRATED." HAHAH!!! It said to add like 23.something gallons to get my full 25 gallons. It also had a paper saying all the possible side effects of drinking too much water, and to see your doctor if you have any questions.
