The perfect accompaniment to polar bear steak. Some people would suggest a bold red, but those people would be wrong. You need nothing more than some hot sauce and a glass of Iceberg Energy Water when enjoying polar bear.

I would not be surprised to learn it is sourced from New York City public water using bottles made in China from recycled computer parts.

"Acu-points and herbs are encoded via the Active Encoding Disc playing at the bottom of each bottle to harmonize one with their present environment."

This is like Tron meets David Carradine's Tai Chi.

Unfortunately for modern man, chemical and electromagnetic pollution and negative, low vibrational frequencies abound to sabotage water's natural processes and dramatically limit the access to natural source, micro-clustered, high vibrational and primal infopathic water. In steps Vorsong! Technology applied to bio-mimic and enhanced, not out-do, Nature's Ideals!

Electromagnetic pollution? Bwahahahahaha....

I'm can't make up my mind whether it's a ruthlessly manipulative imagination or spirit-of-the-universe-style insanity at play here.

Of all the herbal, colloidal, and otherwise bunk supplements out there, those involving water and the enhancement or purification thereof are always the most entertaining to read about. Extracts from a rare Amazonian fungi or a funny looking crystal already have enough complexity and mystery around them to impose wonderment and possibly even a belief in the supernatural (that would be the supposed properties of the item at hand.) Water however, is just water! First these people have to convince that there is something wrong with the water, and then second that they are able to fix it. My personal favorite is the restoration of the correct hydrogen bond angle of water.

This water...

Is it refreshingly blue?
posted by Samizdata at 12:39 PM on May 24, 2011


I'm guessing they may run into some problems with the shape of the bottle, actually. Coca-Cola has long held a patent on what they call the "contour bottle", and I believe they actually won a injunction against Dr. Pepper not too long ago to force them to stop using a bottle that was even vaguely similar. (That's why Dr. Pepper is in those bottles which have the steeply sloping conic tops and the smooth side cylinder bottoms.)

This bottle may just skirt right up and piss off Coca-Cola if they decide to get huffy about it.

Is this something I would need to drink water to understand?

"Electromagnetic contaminants?"

The memory of electromagnetic noise. 'Cause water is like, uh, the perfect solvent, so it absorbs everything around it, including, um, a record of the change in ambient EM fields. So if you drink a cup of regular water, you're drinking the pee of every dinosaur and caveman that ever took a whiz in those particular molecules, plus thousands of years of evil thought pollution. It's like liquid death!

One day I will start a bottled water company of my own. Our water will actually be extracted from the ice floes of Antarctica and flown at great expense (first class, of course) to a private airstrip high in the Andes. It will be introduced into the area's purest natural springs and recollected at the mouth of the Amazon river. It will then be flown a second time to the mystical Himalayas where each and every bottle can be personally blessed by Tibetan monks. Finally we'll run the entire batch though a gauntlet of high-precision filtration systems, then throw the whole thing out and bottle up some water from my drippy bathtub faucet.

Nobody will know the difference.

How about I filter the water through vegan Tibetan holy virgins? Because yellow is the color of the sun, source of all life and energy... And vegan Tibetan virgins are like healthy and pure, you know... And that way I am bringing jobs to Tibet.

That's so helpful and pure, it would be a crime not to buy your water.

They'd go for it ironically, or for stupidity reasons? I can't think of anyone I know well who'd buy that - even if purchased as a joke, they would be mocked mercilessly.

But it's only electromagnetic pollution if the cavemen were cooking dinosaurs in the microwave while talking on their cell phones.

Remember this is homeopathic water, so while you and I might say it's just tap water, at least one part per billion is iceberg water. Iceberg water is a good storyteller, a "meme" if you will, and pretty soon all the tap water molecules remember what it was like being an iceberg.

So really, their greatest strength is also their greatest disadvantage. Buy yourself a bottle of iceberg water and tip it into a full bathtub at home. The iceberg water will propagate through the bathtub water and effectively what you are doing is creating an infinite personal supply of iceberg water. So what you can genuinely say, when people are talking about their new cars or how many pairs of fancy shoes they have, is "oh, that's nice, but when I really want to spoil myself, I wash my stinking date in iceberg water". I guarantee you that some people will gasp so hard their heads implode like a raisin.

Now enjoy flow restriction for pennies on the dollar! Hell, buy the tube-bending tool you need to make your own shapes and still save money! Why limit yourself to vortexes?

Energy Loss: Any time a liquid is asked to change direction or to change velocity there is a change in energy.

The energy lost by the liquid is converted to heat created by friction. Since the amount of liquid exiting a pipe has to equal the amount entering the pipe, the velocity must be equal. If the velocity is equal, then the velocity energy (head) must be equal.


Where does the energy go? Some scientists say it's lost to friction, but some flaky weirdo con artists told me it's just being converted into [jazz hands] MAGIC!
