Bling H2O

I just had to write about this. Today, while shopping for some food at Oakville Grocery, I ran across this pretty bottle of water — frosted glass, decorated with Swarovski (!) crystals in a sexy shape. However, when I turned it over, I went into sticker shock as the price of the water was $ 55.00. I’m not kidding. I thought it was a misprint, until I picked up a smaller bottle and it was $ 30.00.
Bling H2O is a water designed to cater to the luxury lifestyle — according to their website, it was created because «In Hollywood, it seemed as if people flaunted their bottled water like it was part of their presentation». Apparently FIJI water and SmartWater just don’t cut it anymore.
Couture water? Are you kidding me?
For that price, I better be pissing Cristal after drinking it.

i suppose in the land of excess i shouldn’t be that surprised that there’s bottled water that retails for $ 40 a pop. this crap must be for people who’s self esteem is so low that they think that their water needs to aspire to some higher socio-​economic status.
and who the hell names their water ‘bling’? why not come out with something called ‘like totally’ or ‘bootylicious’ or whatever catch phrase that pop culture has mercilessly drilled into our brains? this may be the worst product name since the chevy nova went to mexico.
i hope the creators of this absurdly moronic product are up to their eyes in debt. i hope their families are so burdened by the shame of creating something out of sheer greed that they claim to be only distant relatives. and lastly i hope that socialites and trustafarians all over the world catch some horrible disfiguring disease after drinking from contaminated bottles of bling water.
