Water is no more just water. People pay money for water every day, even though it’s free in the majority of places on Earth. So if we’re already paying for it and shelling out big bucks in some cases, why not pay a lot for it, right?
This luxury priced water called Kona Nigari is desalinated water high in minerals found 2,000 feet down off the coast of Hawaii. This brand of bottled water sells for an eye popping $33.50 per two-ounce bottle of concentrate and is meant to be diluted in a bottle of regular water (add $1.99 to the bill).
It’s credited with aiding weight loss, stress reduction, skin tone, and digestion. And apparently this Hawaiian seawater is special — people pay more for the Kona Nigari. This seawater is so lucrative that the Hawaiian government is now allowing bottlers to use a state-certified logo for their deep seawater for a nominal fee.
So, where are the customers for this pricey water? Just to let you know, 80,000 bottles are shipped to Japan every day. Hypothetically speaking, there will come a time when people will think twice before drinking water as it may cost you a bomb, to be precise $2144 per gallon only if the Kona Nigari water becomes a world wide rage!
