Please Say It Aint So
Ok, I know I promised to post about credit related things all week, but my ADHD tendencies kicked into overdrive and I was distracted. While trying to confirm some facts on my favorite credit related site, I ran across this mind blowing waste of cold hard cash…
They call it BLING H20. For those of you who played hooky during chemistry class, what we have here is some good ole’ fashioned WATER at the ridiculous price of $38.00 per bottle. Here’s a brief description…
“Bling H2O…is the inspiration of Kevin G. Boyd, a Hollywood writer-producer. While working on various studio lots where image is, well, everything, he noticed that you could tell a lot about a person by the bottled water he/she carried.
In Hollywood it seemed as if people flaunted their bottled water like it was part of their presentation. But whether the bottles had a cool shape or came from an exotic island, Boyd felt that none truly made that defining statement. Bling H2O was fashioned to make that statement.
…Calling itself “the Cristal of bottled water,” making “an announcement like a Rolls Royce Phantom,” Bling H2O is pop culture in a bottle. At $38.00 a bottle and sprinkled with rhinestones, it is not for everyone…”
I am too through!!! Come on now people, let’s be for real! Are they serious???? I know this is considered a “luxury gourmet item” but when did our society become so shallow that people are defined by the bottle of water they carry? What’s next? Beverly Hills AIR at $19.99 per inhalation? Man I would take one puff and hold my breath for hours (lol). Shoot, I struggle to pay $1.69 for my Dasani, and the ocean blue bottle is quite mezmerizing if I do say so myself. hmph!
Peace & Blessings

Ten years ago your words would have been used to describe any bottled water over 29 cents.
Perhaps you will be touting Bling in ten years while talking about my brand at an even grand a bottle.

You may have a point regarding the prices we were willing to pay 10 years ago. Shoot, 10 years ago we were all drinking from the tap. But I have to beg to differ about touting a $40 bottle of water. Price is defined by how much people are willing to pay and every item has its cost limits. So unless water becomes a rare commodity in danger of running out, it just aint worth it…now or ever!
LOL!!! You know people gonna buy the bottle once and refill it with the likes of Dasani!
Girl, ain’t nothing worst that Puffy’s new $300 perfume (which probably ain’t nothing but a lil’ fancy Eau de toilette).
LMAO @ Eau de toilette
or refill with the tap!!
i think i’d buy at least one bottle’cause it’s kinda cute…
*very small voice*
So, SM… you probably wouldn’t pay for cristal either but i bet you would have no prob sip’n on a bottle that somebody else bought?
Same with Bling… u know u wanna try it. go ahead get your Bling on… you don’t have to tell us!
