Organic Water: A New Marketing Wave

As the company's website says, "Illanllyr ... comes from our sources beneath certified organic fields in west Wales in the UK." So, Ewell says, the water has never been tainted with chemicals, making it organic as it as it emerges from the ground.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which defines the term organic when it comes to agricultural products in this country, specifically excludes water and salt. Table salt, or NaCl, is made up of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).

Illanllyr isn't the only one using the term organic loosely. A quick Google search turns up dozens of brands of waters claiming to be organic.

No worse than buying bottled water when tap water is available.

I figure the "organic" label is worth a 30% price premium.

In other news, Rodney King was arrested for another DUI.  What a country!

Damn it.  At this rate, someone's going to steal my brilliant, billion dollar idea for "dehydrated water."

They should market it as "Recycled Water".  The liberals would LOVE it and it would be totally true.

"Our recycled water is over 1,000 years old!  Aged to perfection."

Son in college years ago told me that all water on earth is the same darn thing as when the earth was created.

Are you telling me that today we are drinking the piss of the great army's of Attila the Hun???  Yup even Dinosaur pee.-------

Today I wonder about the amounts of iodine in the water in Seattel that has a count 100+ over the re comended amount due to the Problems in Japan. Something about the half life in the air being 8-10 days but longer in rain water. The air monoruing shows no problem but the rain filling reservoirs show a sharp spike.

Back of my mind comes a memory from the 1960 era when the Russians were testing open air nukes, the people of Japan had to wear rain coats when it rained as the amount of isotopes caught up into the clouds were falling from the Sky's with the snow and rain.

I drink the most "organic" water in the world. It comes from a little lake (that I'll be backpacking to next week) It has PLENTY of organic organisms in it. Freshwater shrimp, mosquito larva, stonefly larva, you name it, it's got it. We call them "crunchies".    :-)

I found a pic of the source for the organic water they'll be using.
