10 Thousand BC

Perhaps the necklace from Ten Thousand Things is what inspired me to find 10 Thousand BC, a luxury bottled water. Bottled in Canada, the water is said to be the "finest bottled glacial water in the world" and is certainly among the oldest water you can buy, as it is actually harvested from the Coastal Glacier Range in British Colombia. Some of the water's other claims seem a bit unrealistic, as it is purported to slow the aging process, reduce anxiety and stimulate the sex drive. The is sold by the case, but it comes out to be about $7 per 375 ml (12.6-oz.) bottle - which isn't bad if you consider it to be a beauty product rather than just a refreshing beverage.

"...since research shows water has a memory" (from website) No, research shows no such thing. Stupid misinforming movies about singing blobs and bleeps do.
Whenever someone tells you that their water has memory, is hexagonally structured, infrared stimulated, has high Zeta potential (oh yea, I've seen that too) or any other pseudoscientific term - I invite you to slap them upside the head a couple of times.
Then they talk about "high ionic content" and "only the purest water optimally hydrates" (from site). Well, high ionic contents means high impurities, silly!
The presentation is nice, the name is catchy, definitely luxe, but I wouldn't contribute to the profitability of a company which insults the intelligence of its consumers.

but... but... GLACIERS!

Is there any merit to the notion that the water is free from atmospheric voodoo since it was (very) pre-industrial revolution?

I mean, my tap water tastes great and it has been filter all kinds of ways before it gets to me so how much different can it be?
