Aquafina: The Taste of Purity?
Ah, to enjoy the purest of life's pleasures: a dreg of fresh, clean, cold water.I was at work yesterday, grabbed a "healthy" meal from our cafeteria (which is actually very good), and to drink I figured that instead of a pop, I would choose the healthier choice: water.
Unfortunately my choice was not the best one. I felt ill last night but I thought it was because I was exercising right after eating. It wasn't until today that I realized why I felt sick.
Let's take a closer look at Aquafina's Purity:
Wait! I think I see something... let's turn on the light to look closer:
I think I've found a lifeform in my water. Yummy, protein?
I think the following sums up my current feelings on this:
Aquafina = Water + Alien Fungus?I'm going to call their consumer relations number tomorrow to see what kind of health concerns I should have. My stomach still feels ill tonight, but thank goodness I didn't drink that last glob of stuff.

Damn...that looks nasty!! I was in the milk manufacturing business and yes, very occasionally someone comes in with some piece of something that was in the milk carton. It would usually be a piece of a gasket or some glob of "lube" that was used on the pistons on the filling machine. The lube wasn't oil based and was made for food manufacturing. I hope whatever that is in your bottle isn't some terrorist plot to rid Canada of water drinking people.
Shit man, you should have drunk it! Who knows, maybe it would have combined with you symbiotically and turned you into a super alien-human hybrid!
I think it was a terrorist alien life form that teleported into our solar system, down to Earth, but mistakenly manifested in a bottle of Aquafina water. You did your part by almost swallowing it - to save our planet from invasion - but better to just keep it as an example for the rest of them.
Woe betide the terrorist aliens that teleport into bottles of water!
That looks like that thing from that Spore video game.
Hahahah. You paid for water.
I get it out of my tap for free.
Hippie.
Yeah, I'm not down with bottled water. I've read that the bacterial levels in bottled water are actually much higher, since it's just sitting around, growing fungus, as you said.
So what are you paying for?
Well I thought it was basically me buying brita-filtered tap water in a way, and I didn't have my own glass or bottle so unless I wanted to drink pop or juice, bottled water was the only other refreshment choice.
Buying bottled water was not a regular habit of mine, trust me. In any case, I won't be buying bottled water again anytime soon.
I called their customer relations number and they told me it was probably a piece of bread I backwashed into the bottle. Excuse me?! Then they gave me another number to call, which I have tried several times today, but I get an operator message that "all lines are busy" or something.
Don't put up with this kind of treatment. Get lawyers involved, and sue the bastards.
Write a letter. That's the only way you'll get a response. And not an email either, that shit's easy to ignore.
Even if it turned out to be nothing, if you write a decent letter complaining, usually they'll at least do something nice for you, like give you a couple free flats of bottled water. Which I suppose, considering the circumstances, isn't great, but it's probably the best response that you're likely to get.
I called again and now they say they want to retrieve the bottle from me, foreign substance and all, and all the while the lady was telling me that their water is so pure because its reverse osmosified etc etc and that I couldn't have gotten sick from it.
Sure, why don't YOU drink this little creature then?
Supposedly I will receive a call from the Canadian office.
What is the latest on this? Have they found out what it was?
