So I'm sitting at home watching the MLB channel when suddenly a commercial comes on and I see the greatest product ever produced!!!! It makes water wetter!!!!!

Yessiree, you know you're living in a free market, neoliberal "paradise" when companies can legally claim in a commercial that their product "makes water wetter!" (Start at the 43 second mark to get right to it.)

WOW! Makes water wetter!!!!

JHFC, I remember the bad old days when we here in the US obviously lived under communism/socialism hell when commercial speech could actually be regulated and it was illegal to make such absurd and untrue claims.

What a fucking world. Makes water wetter. JHFC on a stick.

I certainly get where you're coming from ofg. I just today wrote on the forum that advertising sucks.

But I have actually bought this before. We had replaced every damn piece in the cooling system* of my 93 Ford and were looking for any kind of result. My mechanic** swears by it.

*Well, except the only 3 year old radiator, which had gone bad. We eventually replaced it with a double thick and I could now drive across Death Valley at 4000 rpms without issue. :)

**I was able to replace every damn piece because my mechanic is also my bartender, accountant, and friend. No labor charges. :)

It's a well known fact that water is only 98.6% wet. There's room for improvement there.

A wonderous product that causes an emulsion of oil and water? Where I come from, we used to have a name for that sort of thing: soap.

That reminds me, I just made some water in my pants.

So it removes surface tension?

The only thing that actually makes water wetter is a flamethrower melting ice cubes, and 9 out of 10 dentists agree on this.

If you happen to be holding a flamethrower I think you'll find it's closer to 10/10.

Holy shit are those Amish crafty. No wonder they don't need electricity.

That's nothing. Try this water!

So, it doesn't contain any chemicals? What exactly does it contain, then? Some kind of special esoteric matter hitherto unknown to science?

Oh yes, and of course it's "all natural", which is automatically a good thing. You know what else is all natural? Snake venom, uranium, lava... Lots of things you'd really prefer not to make any personal contact with.

The really sad part is there are people that will buy it.

Edit: ok.

I didn't click your link, but news organizations also reported on that.
