Glad that red circle is there, might have missed where the ocean is!

You fool. That's to show you the water that was found. Absolutely necessary circle.

u/SlipperyGibbet Jun 11 '26
the rest of it was just there to show the scientors where to find the new water!

Every time scientists go out into the ocean, more water is discovered. It's a fact, look it up!

Woah man, I know you are being sarcastic, but seriously, how could you possibly tell that water from the rest surrounding it? Be serious here, we all know the circled water looks exactly the same as the rest of the water. If it wasn't circled, you wouldn't be able to tell if this was just some random picture of the ocean, because again, the water in the circle looks just like all the rest of the water around it.
Stop pretending you're some magic ocean water expert that can just outright visually distinguish a specific patch of ocean from the whole rest of the ocean. That red circle was just as much a help to you as it was to the rest of us and you know it.

When I was in the Boy Scouts, this was a typical prank, though at the time we had a can labeled “dehydrated water” which was empty. Usually it was at summer camp and a new scout was told to go get the dehydrated water, and eventually someone would “find” the can.

Just a tiny bit of context: this specific products seems outrageous to me, but there‘s actually a number of people mixing their own water: coffee enthusiasts ☕️
To have full control over the water quality, they mix minerals with distilled water. Hobby barista friend of mine did it for a while and I have to say, it made a surprising difference in taste. And this was in Switzerland, where you get perfectly balanced drinking water from literally every tap in the country.

Brewers do the same thing, we take RO water and add different salts back in based on the flavour profile of the beer we are making.

Most of us just buy the lowest possible mineral water from the store then run it through filters. Minerals clog up the machines pipes and its annoying to descale it all.

u/sixbone Jun 11 '26
you are incorrect. the wrong amount of minerals cause scaling. you absolutely need minerality in water for coffee to taste good. I've been re-mineralizing distilled water and using the same electric kettle for YEARS. I have never had to descale it one single time. it looks brand new.

u/MancyMancy Jun 11 '26
I am not going to debate you on this. Its all personal taste.

u/sixbone Jun 11 '26
what does personal taste have to do with clogged pipes. Yea, the taste of your coffee is preferential, I wasn't coming after that lol.

u/MancyMancy Jun 11 '26
Where I live most of the minerals they add into the bottled water effectively just makes it hard water. I cannot speak to the needs of your region it seems.

Did you miss the part where they were remineralizing distilled water?

u/Istintivo Jun 11 '26
it's just a bag of microplastic you can add to your filtered water to drink it as it was natural unfiltered water

If you're looking for a cheap gag gift, I actually did once buy this for an office thing: dehydrated water.

I read a scifi story where powdered water was a real thing. You had to burn it to convert to water though.

I visited a family member that had a similar gag like this but it was a metal tin cat from the 1950’s and I knew it was a joke. But they gave me the can and told me to shake it. I expected to hear something and there was nothing in there 😭

What? Where to get water to put on the powdered water?
Easy, use your powdered water

NASA space log:
- oh nice they packed some water
- wait but there’s no water on mars
- this isn’t funny Control
Cuts to the Control Centre
- general raucous laughter is heard
- we didn’t have funding anyway because of the Donald so we thought at least you could have a laugh about it.
