Just found in the triathlete magazine, for a water that costs 24$ for 12 bottles:
“… Aside from being ultra-pure, EON apllied science to its water. It is instilled with live reverse osmosis to the water by rearanging the bio-molecular clusters to allow for increased cellular absorbtion and oxygenation. …”
Honestly, this must be a joke, right?
I doubt it. I am sure they 100% serious… And I am also sure that lots of people will buy it.
People complain about the price of gas, but most “designer” water is more expensive per gallon than gasoline.
That sounds like the explanation of how the original Flash superhero got his powers of super speed.
Reality is finally catching up to comic book science fiction!
No no joke.
Little do people know that you’re stomache is actually lined with gills. The more oxygen in your water the more that can be absorded into your blood stream. In fact recently the mile record was broken by a guy who simotaneously hyperventalated on compressed oxygen and downed 3 qts of caffienated, oxygenated water that was mixed in a 53:47 ratio with oxy clean.
Apparently he ran a 2:15.25, but is was ruled out as a chemically enhanced record and never made the news…
Really I read it on the internet.

How come bike companies neve say ‘rides like a big wheel’…
I looked at their website. the only thing better than the $2/bottle price is the $39 for 4 oz bottle of concentrate.
then there’s the ‘science’ part. " the water is infused with carbonic acid". this is otherwise known as C02. so you are buying seltzer water.
If it makes me slimmer, flatters my figure and doesn’t make my legs look like stuffed sausages on the run… That’ll be one case please and 2 running skirts! Thankyou!
“…for increased cellular absorbtion and oxygenation…” OMG…what a line.
i’ll start buying it as soon as my doc proves to me that i process oxygen through my digestive system.

It has to be real, you take a sport of wealthy people where 70% are just participants, and they will buy feces flavored gel if you market it right.
It is real, and I’ve had to buy it before… When hurricane Rita hit the Houston area, water was sold out everywhere in the wake of hurricane Katrina. The only water we could find anywhere was at a healthfood store, and we paid a lot more than what you found it advertised for. We got robbed. I had tried to convince my wife that it was unneccessary, but oh well… I didn’t notice any boost in performance, of course with the hurricane coming my wife wouldn’t let me go out and ride. Would have been interesting to see what kind of speed I could hit, and the road rash that would follow.
I just saw this on the local news… The City of Covington, KY (I think) was having trouble with people playing in their decorative water fountains. Although there isn’t any REAL problem with this, the city would prefer that people didn’t because the fountains are “hard to keep clean”. So the city posted signs that read “WARNING: Water contains high concentrations of hydrogen”.
The scary thing is it worked. Yes, people will belive anything.
Water does have a lot of hydrogen in it. It’s not funny that they believed it. It’s funny that it stopped them from getting in.
About as big a joke as someone who calls their product EPOgen.

I put a warning letter from this site: http://www.dhmo.org/ on the office refridgerator. By lunch time the local rabble-rouser had read and was going off on a tirade about it. Had to be THE funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. Managed to get a small contingent all worked up before a passing professor stopped to ask what the commotion was all about and promptly called him a dumb ass to his face. The worst part… I’m a grad student in an atmospheric science program. The insitgator was doing his masters in atmospheric chemestry.
