Ron Paul drinks Fiji water

[yaz]

i bought fiji water once, because i think it tastes better, while i was with a church on a trip. they all made fun of me for paying a little more for it.

I wouldn't say that Penta water is free of any of those. I'd say 99.9% free, but not 100% free.

Just drink distilled water. It's cheap and tastes like nothing.

Edit: Seems like Penta water is only expensive through marketing, not quality -> http://www.chem1.com/CQ/pentabunk.html

That's what I do, I distill my own water and wouldn't have it any other way.

Just a note on this thread, I'll bet Fiji sees a notable increase in water sales. There are alot of companies that could be taking serious advantage of Ron Paul's marketability. I find it interesting that they would be willing to give up a profit boost to stubbornly ignore him.

I hope Fiji takes note. Maybe they could even put Dr. Paul's face on some bottles

Woo! Ron Paul brand endorsement. Fiji water: Crisp. Refreshing. And only ever-so-slightly poisonous...

What do you use to distill your water?

Do you find it cheaper than buying an 18L jug of distilled water?

Whoa!

Cleveland officials retaliate by running tests revealing that Fiji bottled water contains 6.3 micrograms of arsenic per liter, while the city's tap water has none.

Fiji counters by saying its own tests found less than 2 micrograms per liter.

How can he call himself a conservative and buy the most expensive water? /sarcasm because I like Fiji

 

[Agent CSL]

Wow. They could make a lot of money by having Ron do a commercial. Ahahaa. Rofl. =]

 

[homah]

I likey tap water.

What a blatant and pointless waist of resources. The folks at fiji ship their plastic bottles over from china, fill them with water, and ship them to America. Just drink filtered tap water, and save some gas.

I like Penta water, it is very expensive but it is arsenic free, fluoride free, chromium 6 free, chlorine free, MTBE free, and is purified by reserve osmosis/deionization with USP medicinal-grade oxygen. You can really taste the difference.

Aquafina and Dasani are also cleaned by RO. I used to test water and I only like water cleaned by RO now. =P

I'm buying some Fiji stock.

A relatively cheapish water distiller (all steel interior).

It's about the same as buying bottled distilled water, maybe a bit less after 2 years. It costs about 1 dollar for a gallon of distilled water here. So at a about 1.5 gallons a day, I'd say it should be paying for itself in about 2 years, not including electricity costs. The benefits are that I use a glass caraffe so It doesn't sit in plastic after distilling unlike the bottled variety. In addition to that, I'm doing it so I know exactly how it was distilled, that it was actually distilled, and I know that it was bottled into glass jugs that were stored in clean conditions.

Little to no flouride, mercury, lead, micro-organisms, etc... and no parabens (plastic additive). So at least I can rest assured that my water won't contribute to holes in my brain, plaques on my brain and heart, diseases, OD of estrogen compounds. My next goal is to get a house with a decent bit of land so I can grow my own food and create my own electricity. Eventually I hope to be 100% self-sufficient.

FIJI is disgusting. In my chemistry class we extracted all the impurities of various bottled waters, pond water and river water. FIJI was by far the most contaminated, even more than the pond water. The cheapest (local) bottled water was the cleanest.

More than pond water??? I call bull-shit.

Every hotel that I have ever stayed in... has a bottle of Fiji sitting on top of the TV for the guest.

I travel frequently for my job, and I have never noticed such a phenomenon. I see various brands of water, if any water at all.

 

[Mystile]

I'm a fan of tap water myself.
