Steve's new brand of water?

[typecase]

Hello all,

Starting with WWDC 2005 and every keynote since then, I've noticed Steve drinks a pretty distinctive brand of water when he doing his presentation. It has a clear bottle with a red printing on it and a spout top. Does anyone know what brand this is? Just curious. :)

[typecase]

Even though my earlier searches came up with nothing, I found this in an earlier thread by accident.

Someone later in that thread thought that it might be Smartwater. Anyone agree?

[typecase]

Actually, I answered my own question. I took a look at the Media Event quicktime stream, captured an image and using the halftone filter in Photoshop, you can make out that it is indeed Smartwater Sport (750ml) from Glacéau . Click on the image below to convince yourself. I've included an inset picture from their website. :D

At my college we had water fountains everywhere, and the water was free.

It is Smartwater.

It's overpriced vapor distilled water, but it is good.

wtf, I can't find this water anywhere. Everywhere I look they are always out of stock. I want to try it, but can't find it. Where are some places to get it?

I don't want to order it online. I want to buy it in a store.

[WildCowboy]

You can go to their web site (http://www.glaceau.com/) and enter your ZIP code to find stores that carry their products. But you can't narrow it down by product line...they also make VitaminWater, which is a lot more prevalent.

I did using my school zip and only one place came up, which was Target. I went to CVS and they had some Vitamin Water, but no Smart Water. But, I also put in the area code near my home, where there was a Target, but it came up with no results. So, I can't trust their "find stores near you".

[Silencio]

I've become a Vitamin Water addict. A couple of their flavors are misses, but they're all subtle enough in taste that it doesn't make a big difference.

We usually walk out of Costco with a couple of 15-packs of the stuff, and it doesn't last long. The only downer is the huge amount of plastic from all those bottles. We recycle every last one, but the popularity of bottled water is an ecological bane due to the fact that most water bottles end up in the landfill.

[WildCowboy]

I can't stand Vitamin Water. The taste is just so bland...it tastes like Gatorade diluted 5:1 with water. If I want taste, I'll drink something with actual taste. If not, I'll go with water.

Well whatever works. Nothing wrong with doing that.

Fiji water is where its at. Although most of the time, water just tastes like water.

This water is supposed to make you smart. I don't know about that, I've never drank it the night before a test and got an A, I've never tried it for school purposes.

I did drink it the night I bought my camera (hp m407v) and I believe it worked.

So, maybe you guys can go get some and try it? [...] Good luck!

You have to try it yourself!


^That just made my day.

i love smartwater. I normally get it Stop and shop its in the natural food area. You can also see if Whole Foods has it...

[calebjohnston]

I can't believe you care what kind of water a man drinks. This is insane.

I don't really care, I just want to try it.

[CompUser]

Perhaps it is a bottle of apple promotional water, branded with the words "Apple Computer" or something like that.

OhoH! Its hard to imagine a more industrial design water bottle than that... I can only think of a few things to change. I think next time I see it ill pick it up, and tell everyone im drinking the water steve jobs uses. See what crazy looks i get:cool: :p

[dotdotdot]

SmartWater tasted weird when I tried it, but maybe I'll try it again.

But I love Poland Spring water! Delicious stuff!

[Maxiseller]

We have none of this cool stuff over in the UK.

Anyway, in my town if you buy water and not drink it from the tap directly you're considered to be insane...

I always worry some beast like a slug is stuck in the pipe that I'm drinking this OH So Fresh water from...

[yankeefan24]

the ad at the bottom of the page was very fitting… (attached).

i can't believe people are concerned about what kind of water steve drinks during the keynotes. it is probably shipped to apple with $5000 and with a note saying: " Mr. Jobs, please drink this water during your next Keynote Speech. This would be a good way of product placement that could benefit both of us. We know that there are Apple fans who will check the brand you use and then drink it. You say that Apple, "Think's Different," so using a small, unknown brand of water will be more fitting than if you used Dasani or a competitor. Thank you. If you want more bottles, just call us at (place number here) and we can ship you more."

[HiRez]

Steve always drinks Smart Water. Ironically, it's not available in Apple's cafeteria (even though they have a very wide selection of drinks). I think Smart Water is one of the better bottled waters, but Dasani consistently tastes the best to me.

I worked for them for a summer. I watched millions of those bottles go by every shift. When they laid me off they gave me 9 cases, which is that max that could fit into my car. And they were the 36 packs of 24 oz. bottles. Lots and lots of water.

But I normally drink water straight out of the tap for FREE!

I'm don't think I could do that. Never know what is in the water. Unless there was a filter attached to the faucet, then I can understand. No filter, no drinking for me.

I agree. Fiji water is the best.

[Kingsly]

Soo... If I drink Smart Water will I become like Steve?
The best bottled water is available in Hungary. I forget the brand, but it has a pink lid. Its sooooo good. I drank an entire 2 liter bottle once just for the flavor. :eek:
American water is crap.

[lilstewart]

I agree. Fiji water is the best.
Yeah, I like it too.

[BoyBach]

I drink from the tap (what my dad calls 'council pop'), it's cheap and has added flouride! :D
