Filtered tap water; catchy marketing. Someone is bound to get rich.

It's dilute gatorade.

All these "scientific hydration drinks" are the same shit: Mostly water with some trace salts. The sport-oriented ones (gatorade, powerade, etc.) have substantial sugar.

For people partaking in endurance athletics (i.e. constant activity of > 1hr) they're better than just plain water in terms of replacing what the body loses. For under an hour, just drink water.

As for the soccer mom, she's a fucking soccer mom. Do you really need analysis? They're vapid suburban fashion zombies.

Marketing. Read the FAQ; it's pretty laughable.

Sounds just like keylation to me - utter marketing, as in "Look out, don't step in the marketing!"

Pretty much all bottled water is a scam unless you live in Mexico where it is a necessity.

What?s the deal with Microstructuring? I?ve heard its just bunk.
Some call it science, others call it pseudo-science. The only thing really certain is that there is no certainty among the scientific community on Microstructuring?just as there is no scientific agreement over the ?Big Bang?, Global Warming, and whether or not California is going to someday fall into the ocean. (We sure  hope that doesn?t  happen since we really like the beaches and the weather there!) What we do know and believe in is what our customers tell us which is that they can feel the difference with our water.

That?s why, despite the costs, we?ve included as part of our proprietary processes the best Microstructuring technology we could find so that Perfect Empowered Drinking Water will always stand taller than any other bottled drinking water on the block. You might even find yourself holding your own head a little higher knowing Perfect Empowered Drinking
Water is the result of researching, testing, developing, and combining what we?ve concluded are the best of the best water technologies and processes from around the globe.  


Ahhahahahahahahhaah. Good find rivan.

ok, I thought I would try to buy a bottle to see what happens when I drink it, for fun. some people online were saying it's $2 a bottle. not too bad, I thought.

Turns out the only place to buy it is from scam amway/quixtar people. the only way to buy it is by the case of 24, which costs $48

so much for that idea...

It isn't perfect water, it doesnt have a magnetic strip around it. That is why it must be a hoax :D

Seriously, why do people buy this stuff? Water filters are often cheaper and provide the exact same quality as freaking bottled water. I guess people who want to be stupid and ignorant will be regaurdless.

I found this quote funny from their webpage though "There?s a lot of hype going around about the source of bottled waters with companies claiming their water is better because it is from a spring, a deep well, an aquifer, a glacier, distilled water, artesian water, or other sources. Regardless of the source and individual preferences, none of it is good enough for our high quality standards. We start with safe water sources tested to be suitable for drinking water and then give it a clean slate with our proprietary 15-step purification process and other technologies so that the water that goes into the bottle is nothing less than ?perfect.?

So first they start by saying that "other bottled water companies get their water from springs, GASP" then go on to say that they do exactly the same thing. It isn't like coke will take sewage water and bottle it (unless they could purify it to FDA approved levels without an overly expensive cleaning system.) Water is water, and people who pay more for it deserve to have no money.

A fool and his money are easily seperated. The USA's multi trillion dollar national debt speaks for itself. :p

It's like the monster cable of water.

The "special ingredients" are found in almost all tap waters.
