Excuse me while I shoot myself in the face.

Tennis superstar Serena Williams took the premier plunge on February 23, in the Hotel Victor's new Evian Experience. At $5,000 a pop and available exclusively in the $6,000 per night penthouse suite of the hip, new Miami Beach hotspot, the Evian Experience is the world's most expensive bath.

"I could feel the difference from the moment I stepped in - the water felt so pure," said Williams, who was surrounded in the tub by fuchsia and orange Gerber Daisies. "Also - Evian is a sponsor of the US Open, which I've won the last few years, so I guess you can say the water has been lucky for me."

...350 gallon, infinity-edge tub with over 1000 liters of Evian Natural Spring Water, the world's leading premium water brand, to revitalize the skin and purify the senses.

Now wouldn't 350gallons of distilled water feel more pure and cost a fraction of the price?

Well, that's a royal waste of money that could have gone toward a worthy cause.

Yeah and with her sweat and body funk, the water probably tasted better AFTER she got out of it.

The difference is, this was French water shipped halfway across the world, not distilled water which is available for $.99 a gallon. Did that make sense? It didn't to me. :confused:

Dude you could make your own distilled water from the tap. Stoves work wonders.

Yep my mom used to do that. Stove + coffee filter = pure water.
We have a water mineral detector that came with our reverse osmosis water filtration system. Boiled water + coffee filter = 0 minerals. Reverse osmosis water filtration = 4 rating. LA tap water = 26 rating.
