    If it comes in a plastic bottle. I don't buy it

    Only see a few glass bottles in Supermarket here

    The supermarket water version 1.25L is 80c

    The smaller sports water version with the squirt it in mouth top is $1:45

    Weird part about that is the squirt it in mouth top was produced for sports, as I understand, to squirt the energy fluid into the mouth to avoid contact with teeth

    The energy minerals were damaging teeth. Squirt it in mouth top not needed for water

    “I regret that I didn’t realize that actually they’ve got no power over you at school — it’s all just a trick to indoctrinate you into being a conditioned, tame, placid citizen. Rebel, children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.”
