Water is water right? Wrong!
This stuff is ‘premium’ at £9 a bottle. I can’t think why on earth you’d want to spend £9 on a bottle of water but then I’m not ridiculously wealthy. A recent study actually proved that tap water from South Kensington was in fact more palatable than this stuff as well as a further 24 overpriced bottles of water.
So what makes this water so special? It hydrates faster apparently and is known as a micro water. According to their website it is an Alkaline Ionized water that has excess oxygen and alkaline minerals to hydrate you faster. It was first bottled and sold at The Waiwera Thermal Resort & Spa in the 1870s in New Zealand.

Have you ever wanted to swim wit the dolphins? Well now you can go one better and swim like one!
This little beauty looks like a dolphin and allows you to do things that a dolphin would do. It uses forward momentum coupled with variable pitch which allows it to perform some pretty awesome tricks, very similar o a dolphin.
Made of fiberglass and Kevlar this little toy can reach speeds of 30mph on top of the water and 20mph underneath it.
Currently only a one seater, demand is such that it will soon be a 2 seater.
More details here.

No, you haven’t read that wrong… £8.50 GBP for an ounce of Nona Nigari water. Found 2,000 feet down off the coast of Hawaii, this is a seawater mineral concentrate that should be mixed with regular water.
As you would exect the Japanese are mad for it and are keeping Hawaii Deep marine very busy, and they are not going to run out any time soon! 80,000 bottles go to japan every day.
Is I actually condensed fish wee?
Who knows but thedemand is fueled by a variety of health claims none of which have been medically proven to date. High in minerals this water is supposidly clear of all contaminents and as pure as you can get.

Water is water right?!
NO! There’s Evian then there’s Aquabar, the most exclusive water delivery service to the rich and famous in the world. These guys are the first to develop a product and luxury experience when it comes to drinking water. The company currently services the glitterati of LA but are making plans for world domination. As well as water, the company are introducing luxury ice cubes in April 2007.
“We believe consumers are seeking a broader, healthier selection of products than what is currently being offered at their local grocer, gourmet retailer or hotel and spa of choice. We’ve notice a huge shift in the market; a dramatic change in attitude toward unhealthy beverage products, specifically within upscale establishments (four and five star hotel, etc.) who are switching over from soda and other unhealthy beverages to healthier products such as water, juice and tea. These companies are responding to their patrons and guests, who seek more variety and a healthier beverage alternative. Because this change has been identified within the luxury hospitality market, we believe the same demographic that frequents these establishments would appreciate having our products, which they so enjoyed during the vacation or stay away from home, in the comforts of their own homes,” says Jason Boarde, founder of AquaBar, Inc.

Speed may not be everything when it comes to luxury. But if you’ve got the ultimate yacht you’re going to need the ultimate Jetski! With a top speed of 70 mph the Seadoo RXP is undoubtedly nimble if a little scary for the novice.
Billed as the most powerful two seater craft on the market Seadoo describe it as follows:
“There are those content to watch the world go by. On the RXP, the world watches you go by. With 215 horses, race-bred handling and an electric Variable Trim System, it’s no wonder the RXP has dominated the Musclecraft Shootout for two years running. And when the sun bounces off the sleek chrome details, the only question is whether the human head can turn fast enough.”
Undoubtedly a great machine but I think my money would be with something a little more sedate.
