You can just cut the complaining right now about your weight, and stop asking if you look fat. Because I saw you swigging down that Strawberry Shortcake Pastry Water when you could have chosen the more sensible Skinny Water.
When faced with a myriad of choices in bottled water, heaven knows we want the one that’s safe. Seen in India by Flickr-er Chinita Jill, who reports that SAFE is the brand that sustained them during a desert safari in Jaisalmer.
At the Labor Day Slow Foods Festival in San Francisco, tap water is served under this unusual shelter constructed from water bottles and various other beverage containers. We can safely assume that they’ll be recycled at the festival’s conclusion.

Seen at the Green Frontier Fest, held along with the Democratic National Convention in Denver: a clever visualization of the obnoxious cost of bottled water. I’ve no idea who’s behind it, but the photo is from Jeffrey Beall’s Flickr photostream.
Primo brand bottled water is all over the press and the Democratic National Convention in Denver, as it’s the only brand (right now) that comes in the politically-correct biodegradable bottle. I’m not sure, though, why Denver Water’s DNC tap water twist hasn’t captured alot of media-love as well. The Denver Post reports,
When Democratic National Convention delegates, protesters and gawkers are looking for a cool drink, Denver Water will have it.
The city’s water utility — combining the finest in beer-keg and dairy-milking technology — has built the Denver Water Trailer. The $42,000 trailer was to carry 200 gallons of cold — 42 degrees Fahrenheit — water at events from the media kickoff party Saturday at Elitch Gardens to Invesco Field at Mile High on the day of Barack Obama’s acceptance speech.
The water trailer also will appear at the Green Concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Green Frontier Fest at the Denver Performing Arts Complex’s Sculpture Park.
The trailer is the brainchild of a group at Denver Water looking for a way to provide an “environmentally friendly” service at big outdoor events. “There are always lots and lots of plastic water bottles in the litter after a big concert,” said Terri Chavez, a Denver Water community-relations specialist. “So the idea was to reduce that.”
I’m not sure I’d find this particular bottle of Unicef water refreshing. The label shows photos of unexploded ordnance that might be found in south Lebanon, including land mines and cluster bombs. The Arabic translates “Don’t Approach, Don’t Touch, Inform.” From The Saff-ster on Flickr.
This unusual look was conceived to demonstrate the amount of waste generated by one person drinking bottled water for one month. Worn by flickr user katakanadian along a 10K race route–an auspicious setting for this particular message.
Double marketing entendre: good for the body and the corporate kingdom, too. From www.engrish.com.
There is no niche too small in the Japanese beverage market. I would have liked to have been at the meeting where they tossed this idea around. From the always delightful www.engrish.com.
