A new version of "magic water." Oh boy!

[CBVan]

Yep, H2O aint so simple any more - at least thats what the people at biologicaqua.com want you to believe. Let's take a look at their claims, shall we?

The following claims are taken from the front page of the natures mist web site.
Hydrates skin anywhere, anytime
Absorbs into the deep skin layers
Awakens skin with a cooling and refreshing mist
Enhances faded cosmetic colors
Soothes dry, irritated skin due to sun, wind and harsh chemicals
Counteracts travel fatigue
Relieves irritation following waxing/shaving
After sun relief
Cleanses and soothes delicate baby skin
Safely misted over eyes and mouth
1. Hydrates skin - Well, yes. Water does that.
2. Absorbs into the deep skin - skin isn't that deep. Water does this also. It's why you go pruny in the bath.
3. Awakens skin - Skin (the outer layer) isn't alive. How can it be awakened?
4. Enhances faded cosmetics - Generally when things get wet, especially makeup, they get darker.
5. Soothes dry skin - Water does that, sure.
6. Counteracts travel fatigue - Getting sprayed in the face (actual application method) wakes me up no matter how groggy I am.
7. Relieves irritation - water does feel good on irritated skin.
8. Cleans babies - Giving babies baths cleans them.
9. Safe - Water is, on the whole, one of the safest chemicals on the planet.

Did you catch the short info-video at http://www.naturesmist.com? So funny!

This is one of the more hilariously stupid ads I have seen. I saw an ad on CNN for this - wonder if it is made by the same people who made HeadOn? Can anyone do a server look up on the site and the head on site and see if their owned by the same people?

Note: I cannot yet direct link the sites - I am a new member, and specifically joined to post this piece of fool's gold I found.

I would have added something about it extending the life of your pet, so I could score some pet owner dollars.

Wow. They sell a 2 ounce (fluid oz, most likely) for $14.95. That works out to about $252.75 a litre. What a bargain! Using crude oil barrels as a comparison, that would be a little over $40,000 a barrel! Anything that expensive MUST be good.

I clicked on the link about a free DVD, (http://naturesmist.com/freebrochure.php) and noticed some very odd statements.

What does this have to do with religion? As if all the other crazy statements weren't enough, this one really is a head scratcher...

I wonder what would happen if everyone started ordering DVD brochures...not that I want them to have my mailing address...

What would happen if they used the water from this machine (http://www.johnellis.com/)?

Shhh! They'll notice a huge demographic their missing! ;)

Why am I reminded of Tom Sawyer and the painted fence...?

I like what they say about their water:

" Tissue-culture grade of water is high-grade water with no impurities or contaminants. To be considered tissue-culture grade, water is tested for its ability to support cell growth and maintenance in the laboratory when used to reconstitute cell growth medium. The pH of tissue-culture grade water should be slightly acidic, between 5.7 and 7.0.

Inorganic minerals, essential for cell growth, must be present in minute quantities. Organic matter is absent, including natural and man-made organic molecules such as proteins, pesticides, herbicides, tannins and detergents. Microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and algae are absent, as are organic breakdown products. The water is of low toxicity and endotoxin free.

Bio-Logic Aqua Absolute Premium Standard™ tissue-culture grade water, the ingredient in all Bio-Logic Aqua Technologies products, meets or surpasses the above criteria and has a natural pH of 6.4."

So it's pure, except for the minerals and ever so slightly acidic. Worth every penny.

Why the hell can't I think of scams like this?

[Zep]

You have scruples.

Not really if you think about it. A religious audience already is pre-disposed to believe in miracles without evidence and "with God all things are possible"

Look into Dennis Lee's "Free Energy" scam sometime, you'll see he intersperes God into his spiel all the time.

We here are certainly not the customer base they are looking for.

[gfunkusarelius]

you all are missing the point. this water is pure
:faint:
you just throw a few things in any product commercial about pollution and you have a winner

Hmmmm. Well, they're after SOMEONE gullible, anyway.

Um. Put 2 oz of water in a spray bottle and get 15 bucks?

Um. I'm buying some spray bottles, ones that spray a very fine mist so that people think the water lasts longer than the stuff in naturemist's bottles. I think I will add some very diluted menthol to increase the chance that people will feel something when they spray it on their faces. AND I can put warning labels on it about not ingesting it or spraying it in the eyes to make people think it has even more of an effect than that naturemist stuff. The folks who want "safe" rather than "effective" can buy the naturemist, and my stuff will be 50 cents cheaper so they can weigh the pros and cons, blah blah.

So, will google spray bottles in 3 oz size so my customers think they are getting an all around better deal!!

Oh, and just ignore how spraying water so that it dries on your skin will just end up making you feel drier in the end and cause chapped skin. Try licking your lips every hour and tell me don't need some waxy or oily lip balm to counteract the results of "hydrating" them with a water based substance.
