It may be too late. Our local papers have recently run ads for bottled water appears to come from Iceland...I have not yet examined a bottle label to see if it purports to be actual Icelandic fluid, or just the chemical equivalent, hydrogen dioxide.

The mind reels at the possibilities if competition ensues - water tastings, anyone? I suppose you cleanse your palate between samples with a shot of vodka.

Only in California.....

You obviously don't get out enough, hikermor. Awhile back I was at a trade convention, and got invited to a reception put on by a contractor. Among other things they were serving Fiji Water!

What is especially amusing is that according to Wikipedia:
Quote:
In 2006, Fiji Water ran an advertisement stating, "The label says Fiji because it's not bottled in Cleveland". This was taken as an insult by the city's water department.[5] The Cleveland Water Department ran tests comparing a bottle of Fiji Water to Cleveland tap water and some other national bottled brands. Fiji Water reportedly contained 6.31 micrograms of arsenic per litre where as the tap water of Cleveland contained none.[6]

Hmm, who knew arsenic was so tasty?
