Sorry I have been a bad blogger as of late. There just hasn’t been much blog fodder around here. Knitting on the saddle shoulder Noro sweater continues, but the pattern I created with my software? It calls for the sleeves to be sewn to the sweater rather than a seamless, in-the-round job. I am wondering how this will work out. Any thoughts out there?
Today I stopped by the little natural foods store in my parents’ neighborhood (my mother took off for Japan again, which means I am now on Dad Watch), and I made this impulse purchase:
LOL, hey it is a cool bottle and water is water, but one is so much cooler if they drink water in cool bottles (at least that is what I tell myself because I buy every funky looking water bottle around, I figure if they look neat I will more likely drink them instead of tossing half filled into the bottom of the cars wheel well)
you are definitely proud of it bee-yatch. be gullible with pride. 🙂
Do you remember Orbitz? The drinks that had the little bits of gelatin floating inside them? Yeah, I drank a couple of those before I finally had to admit to myself that they were just too nasty. So I just started collecting them. What can I say, I’m a sucker for weird, floaty things… And, sadly, every other gimicky thing in creation.
You’re in good company, girl.
Cool bottle though!
even the name is slick. voss.
voss.
Ooh I worked at a place that stocked those and it was always an extra special treat when the room attendants would slip me one. water! in a tubed glass bottle!
Though Voss was just reviewed in a water taste test article in TimeOutChicago & didnt fare so well I think. Whatever, obviously waters water.
You could reuse the cool glass bottle and be extra hip all the time…all for the low price of $2.95.
It’s a cool bottle though!
I SO would have bought that! I love the bottle – and I agree that I would refill that thing forever. I have a friend who chastises me for spending money for water, especially if it’s a “branded” water. He’s learned to ask…”Is that really what’s in there?” My answer usually is…”It was when I bought it, but not anymore!”
Yours is $2.95? The same bottle would cost you $5 in New York in a store, and $10-$12 in a restaurant.
it costs more in chicago. my husband and i stayed at the W hotel for our anniversary and the had the water in the room for $8. i wasn’t that thirsty. 😉
I buy that water from time to time because I hate drinking water out of plastic bottles. Glass is much more recyclable and doesn’t leave that icky plastic taste in the water!
Although once I had an empty Voss bottle rattling around in my car for a few weeks and it was very noisy! But that’s just me being lazy.
They sell that brand at dance clubs because the bottle looks nifty.
Look!! There you are!! http://manolobrides.com/
Yes, but I like the glass bottle aspect of it and it’s pretty cool. If you bought it all the time, then maybe I might call you a sucker. But you’ve got a cool glass as a nifty present for afterwards!
I too was dupped by the VOSS fancy water. I used to reuse the bottle at work just to look trendy! beat the system, reuse the botte!
xo
You mean like how EVIAN is naive spelled backwards?
stick that sucker sticker on me cause i was duped into buying it too. i’m a sucker for packaging.
I saw in a sales flyer for one of our local markets, a Pinot Grigio wine in exactly the same bottle. I thought it was weird, it kind of looks to me like a shampoo bottle. Seems like it was called Voga? Something with a V.
Yep, you’re definitely not the only sucker. I’ve shelled out $4 for that slick bottle myself.
But the (glass?) bottle looks so nice!!
haven’t seen it yet, but thanks for the heads up!
you know Evian is niave backwards right? just sayin’…
Kewl. I had a friend in highschool who was from Voss – a little town a bit north of Bergen. I’ll have to look out for the stuff …. for the bottle alone. 😉
I actually ordered water in a restaurant in Philly once and that’s what they gave me. I think they charged $5.00 for it. It was good water – but I don’t know if it was worth $5.00 – I should have kept the bottle – then it would have been worth it 🙂
Goes to show how packaging can influence a buyer! I remember Orbitz too, those nasty bits of gel have nothing on boba.
Yum, boba!
Water from one well at Voss is supposed to have kind of Viagra-effect my boyfriend tells me 😆 It’s kind of funny though that you drink water from a place close to where I live 😉
