Meet the water sommeliers: they believe H₂O can rival wine – but would you pay £19 a bottle?
A restaurant in the English county of Cheshire has launched a water menu, as have a number of US establishments. Is it really possible, though, to tell one terroir from another?
You're viewing a single thread.
Given that we know what the mineral content of these different waters are, wouldn't it be a trivial matter to replicate that by starting with a very pure water source, and simply adding the right minerals?
Laughably so.
So do
If it is so easy to do, then do it if you want the money. These people are already being swindled which means that money is already going to go to bs flavor water as is, so why not get in on it? I don't personaly have any moral dilemma with it since nobody is actually being hurt. It's just a luxury version of an everyday substance. The kind of thing that folks with more than they need are going to be spending that excess on anyway, right?
And the phrasing was in reference to the iasip episode in which Dennis runs for mayor i think it was? Charlie writes him an awful speech which ends on "so do" as in "so do your part and vote for me", but because he's illiterate, he does not actually express the full thought.
The point is it's a bullshit thing.
I don't disagree. I just dont think bullshit is going away anytime soon, and feel strongly that fooling the wealthy into forking over some of that fortune is a net positive. Like, who exactly is hurt by selling bullshit fancy water to snoots? They said it was easy, so I said do it, because why shouldn't any of us take advantage of people that build their fortunes on taking advantage of others?
Lots of things are bullshit and some of us have too much while others have too little. Everybody's gotta eat, though. And there are countless scams out there that actually cause people harm. As far as I can tell, this just isn't one of them, so I dont see a problem with the working class getting the wealthy to pay ridiculous amounts for cheap and unnecessary bullshit.
Im wrong about a lot of things, though. Maybe I'm just missing something here?
I think you read context that wasn't there. All I mentioned was level level of ease, and I got a reference that I didn't understand and then a odd tangent as way of an explanation.
That is entirely my bad, then. Tbh I suffer from unmedicated adhd and nothing in your comment is very far off from me having a typical difficult day with that. Just didn't realize until it was pointed out to me.
On my end, I was just jovially saying "do it if it's so easy lol". Didn't actually mean to say do it so much as joke about saying it, but I saw the negative reception it took to and felt defensive. Started saying too much, as I tend to do in that position, and I am realizing that I am now still saying too much. Oops.
Tldr; you're not wrong. My bad.
It's not only trivial, people already do that for coffee.
Yes but us water experts are able to detect quantum fluctuations from the ground state of the particles in the water to optimize the ionization of the water and improve the interaction with your taste buds
We are being persecuted for our beliefs in homeopathy. They won't even let me pay my taxes with water from a jar of $100 bills.
Maybe it's like diamonds. Even if it's exactly the same it has no value unless it's extracted from conflicted zones.
Depends if you're counting Russia, looks like. DR Congo is the only other one on the list that's sus that way, although Zimbabwe is especially problematic even at peace.
Pfft. Once you actually start doing science the magic goes away. Do you just hate art? /s
