Fat Water fails taste test
It's called Fat Water and it's better than real water because it is infused with tiny droplets of fat extracted from coconut oil that improve both hydration and fat burning. Creator Dave Asprey calls it "biohacking". "You are less stressed and recover better and are a nicer person. I am making it easier for people to make those little changes and feel good all the time." But experts aren't buying into it. "It is just getting crazier and crazier," one nutritionist says. "If you're thirsty, drink water; if you're hungry, eat food." It might have been easier to market but for one small thing. Taste. Taste testers at various media outlets were unimpressed, describing the water as tasting like lotion and liquid soap, among other things. (Via time.com)
Quickie response
"My niece, named Eden, works as a checkout chick and is constantly getting remarks on how unusual her name is, or just being cheeky," writes a reader. "Last week she had had enough. A man came in and after he made a comment about her name she said: 'I was named after Mt Eden jail as that was where I was conceived.' Shut him up pretty quickly."
