Antipodes Water
Born and Bred New Zealand
We’re guessing you probably didn’t know that 1, New Zealand water is renown as some of the purest water on Earth and 2, it’s also available for delivery, right to your front door.
Before you gasp at the suggestion of importing water from New Zealand, know that Antipodes Water has already done the gasping (and thinking) for you. The Antipodes Water Company is the first premium water company to be certified as carbon neutral, and they are well on their way to be carbon positive through reforestation and wetland development. To reduce impact of air freight, Antipodes also hired permanent staff in major distribution areas that use high-efficiency diesel vehicles for transport staff and delivery.
As for the water itself? Well, we tested a few bottles and it’s delicious, especially in sparkling. Antipodes is sourced and bottled from an aquifer over 1000 feet below ground in Whakatane, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand and their dedication to the craft of water is evident, it’s amazingly crisp with none of the aftertaste of mass produced distilled water. Water skeptics: before you go about making the assumption that this is just another overpriced bottle of water, make sure try it. Chilled.
Cost: $60 (12 x 2-pint bottles)
Uh, I hate to be the "Water Skeptic" . . . but . . . it's water. New Zealand may, in some few places, have very pure water. But that's also the case in hundreds (even thousands) of other places. Especially when you look at aquifers. And I'm sure New Zealand also has plenty of dirty water, just like everywhere else.
Water can be filtered or purified without that much difficulty (or cost) these days, and why anyone would spend $5 per liter for *water*, well, the logic of it is beyond my comprehension. I mean, I'm sure it tastes good. . . but $5 good? I've got a nice filter system. Water from it tastes great. I've had people complement it before, and it never has any unpleasant tastes or odors. It costs me about 2.4 cents ($0.024) per liter. Oh, and it doesn't need to be flown or driven around to reach me, either. And mine doesn't litter our landfills with empty bottles.
Of course it's "just another overpriced bottle of water". "Premium" bottled water is a marketing gimmick. The actual cost of the water is negligible compared to the cost of the packaging, marketing, product transport, etc. Oh, and the environmental impact of the billions of bottles in our landfills.
ha ha "make sure to try it" yeah that's awesome. Like the weight loss pills that say they work only with regular exercise and a healthy diet, ha ha.
