Over the past little while, news has been circulating of meat water, a nourishing beverage that’s a “Dinner in a Bottle”. Mmmm. Gross.
The folks behind Meatwater share,
We at Meatwater use only the finest protein, an organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. One of the main functions of protein is to synthesize structural proteins like muscle … Walk, don’t run and brush your teeth before you go to bed. By drinking Meatwater you can cut down on exercising and eating time, and have more time to enjoy yourself.
Like most bottled water, it’s all in the marketing (see our list of Criminal Mineral Ads).
Meat Water is a very funny. You have the choice of a broad range of flavours, not limited to “Dirty Hot Dog”, “Italian Sausage” and “Texas BBQ”. It’s a meaty meal in a bottle.
One thing that we really like at Green Thing is a good spoof – like Amazero, a great website where you can buy NothingTM and New Improved NothingTM. Meat Water, is a spoof. Thankfully.
New York Artist Till Krautkramer is the brains behind this clever and comical concept. The best part about the idea is it’s so convincingly real. Many people didn’t quite understand the irony.
Bottled water and meat – two very resource draining things combined into one product. Enough to make you go easy on the meat and easy on the Evian? Let’s hope so.
