Iceberg, ride ahead!

[snakey]

Fishermen are towing icebergs back from the arctic to make the world's best water. it costs about $150 per glass.

What do you think? Would you buy this? Will they run out of icebergs?

Why is that water any better than distilled water or spring water if you so choose?

 

[snakey]

...it has fallen from the sky as pure rain water and been frozen at the arctic.

What is so pure about rainwater? How can you get more pure than distilled water?

 

[snakey]

i don't know but it must be good.



Perhaps rainwater has boiled to evaporation then been frozen...

OK, distill some water and then freeze it and sell it for only $100 per glass. Give it a catchy name like "Iceaura" and market your way to riches...

Distilled water is made in a laboratory. Iceberg water would have a taste of the wilderness.

So make it in a facility then add the impurities that the "wilderness" gives it.

 

[snakey]

What impurities and how much...?

Get the "taste of wilderness" water and analyze it to determine what impurities to add.

 

[snakey]

Each iceberg would be different.

 

[snakey]

I imagine if you fed Cows iceberg water the milk they make would taste different as would the ice-cream made from that milk.

I bet if you made them graze on the icebergs their milk would taste different too.

So ... pure rain water is not pure.

Rain forms around suspended impurities in the air, so it can't be pure.
Sometimes those impurities can be quite polluting. Enough to change the pH of lakes it falls in and kill the wildlife (look up "acid rain").

If you want pure water, buy a nice reverse-osmosis water system.

.....or if you froze the cow first and milked them after defrosting

 

[snakey]

That may not change the taste of the milk: the cow hasn't been drinking the water.
