Bottle Water - $2,420 a litre

[Strider1974]

I was reading a Casino magazine (August/September 2006 Issue) lying around at work when I came an article titled "The World's Most Expensive...."
Under bottled water was Golden C Lithium Structured Water at $2,420 a litre
From the article
Why? Because it is infused with the energies of the Golden C crystal, a rare stone mined in San diago at the turn of the 20th century. The water 'emits a signature, one-of-kind healing energy', claims the website. This is then poured into violet glass bottles that 'energise it'. Finally 'each bottle is placed within a special copper pyramid, specially designed to have the exact Sacred Geometry to create a Pillar of light Jacob's Ladder Vortex"


When I did a search online I found this site http://www.luminanti.com/goldenc.html but at $15/half oz it comes to $1014.45/Litre although the picture in magazine has a fancy crystal bottle which doesn't seem to be availible online

I'm afraid to use that text on my BS-meter, it would probably blow up!

"Signature, one-of-kind healing energy", does that mean that there is a significant difference between these "energies"?

And if I were told my water emitted something, I would have found my lead apron.

But it's soooo worth it. Take this quote from the website:

Spraying a bit of the mist in the mouth quenches thirst and relieves throat from over-speaking, hoarseness or any kind of throat pain.

Can you think of any other substance, other than this magical Golden 'C', that would have this effect? I think not. Ever since I was a young child I've used Wild Turkey to do this, but the side effects include blurred vision, slurred speech, stumbling, headaches, and vomiting.

Or, you can add it to body lotions to achieve a hydrating effect. Now, I don't know what that means exactly, but it must be good.

Finally, apparently if you feed this to your house plants, they live! I don't know about you, but I get tired of having to buy new house plants every other week. Sure, the first day or two they look fine, but after a week they turn brown, and in another week they are dead. It's a miracle, and a bargain at any price.

I've also heard reports that it is an antidote to the posionness properties of the silent killer di-hydrogen monooxide.

Sure, mock this product, all of you, but I predict that one day all will come to recognize the wonderful properties of Golden 'C'. I dream of the day when the government recognizes the value of this product, and makes it available to us all via some kind of municipal service, distributed through pipes or some such. Yes, it's a dream, but a wonderful one.

It also contains the rare signature secret element, gallium.So secret, it doesn't even appear on the Periodic Table of Elements, and certainly not under atomic number 31, no sir!

Spray it on me? Would that be a Golden shower?

..

but at $15/half oz it comes to $1014.45/Litre

To be fair, that's concentrated, and you can dilute the 2oz. to 32 gallons.

Of course it's all woo, but listing under "most expensive bottled water" is a tad misleading.

Why yes, yes it would!

From reading both the article and the website my guess is that the website is there to con the average punter, but they also have a deluxe version for the rich suckers, which is what was mentioned in the article

the picture in magazine has a fancy crystal bottle which doesn't seem to be available online

[Dr. Lao]

Or add a 1-2 drops to a spray-bottle filled with purified water, shake, and use the mist to clear negative energies around people, food, plants, rooms and more!



Hey, it clears negative engergies, isn't that worth the price?


Sounds like this other scam with "Prell beads" you add to water to "energize" it and make everything all wonderful.

So many kooks, so little time

[Wowbagger]

Sounds delicious! I think I'll drink some with my Noka Chocolate!

Not really.
You are still buying water and nothing more, therefore you are indeed paying at a rate of $1014.45/Litre. The fact that you can use this water to dilute...uh water...really has nothing to do with it.

I'm afraid to use that text on my BS-meter, it would probably blow up!the Quackometer (http://www.quackometer.net/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.luminanti.com%2Fgoldenc.html ) survived, but rated it as a 10 Canard website. The quacking noise is deafening. This web site is riddled with loosely defined terms and possibly pseudoscientific language with huge sprinklings of alternative medicine mumbo jumbo. It is heavily using scientific jargon and may be doing this to bamboozle. Using lots of physics terms like this rarely has any meaning outside of physics books. It shows little or no sceptical awareness and so should be treated with caution! It also looks like this site is trying to sell stuff. Buyer Beware!

[roger]

Just think how powerful this stuff would be in a homeopathic preparation.

I definitely need some of this. It appears that it: clears bed of nightmare energy.and discharges "unwanted entities" and sends them to the Light. A veritable must-have item.

Their disclaimer:

Note: no actual lithium is in the water.
Only the energetics of lithium & the other minerals
is contained in the water.
KEEP REFRIGERATED

I definitely need some of this. It appears that it: discharges "unwanted entities" and sends them to the Light. Does "unwanted entities" include Jehovah's Witnesses?

[ottle]

discharges "unwanted entities" and sends them to the Light.

Wait, when we die, aren't we supposed to go toward the Light? Is this the same Light? When we get there, are we going to be attacked by unwanted entities?! Sounds dangerous!

[RemieV]

Does "unwanted entities" include Jehovah's Witnesses?

Did someone say "Jehovah's Witnesses"?
