Voss Water

Nitefly · 25 Jun 2015 at 21:37

I was in a supermarket yesterday and genuinely had a double-take on the price of a bottle of branded water. It was perhaps 600ml and cost maybe £2.50. What is this magical liquid!

Fans of Voss water - sell it to me. I am a big sceptic of all obviously overpriced items (watches and 'top end hifi' I'm looking at you) and I'm genuinely curious to hear if there are any defenders of this.

Edit - I wonder if it could be identified by 'The Vessyl'

It's 'designer' water for materialistic people who enjoy showing off their stupidly overpriced possessions to others. Up their own arses the lot of them.

That is drinking water? :eek:

Can't really see where this water would bump the price tag.

I paid £1.60 for a bottle of volvic at a london train station the other day.

So just tap water with a high pricetag and a fancy bottle? Load of rubbish.

This is why I avoid London nowadays, its too exclusive to Londoners on higher pay. Regardless of whether I can afford it is besides the point.

Most train stations are like that everywhere as are airports/service stations. Do you really think here we pay that for water everywhere? The majority of supermarket goods are pretty much the same price....

Walk few metres outside and you can pick up a 2 litre bottle for 50p from any of the "metro" stores. In fact in Liverpool street the 2 litre M&S water is 50p.

Small bottles are always a con everywhere.

I do find Waitrose's and M&S water the best, probably because their bottle plastic is more robust than other offerings

Amazes me why people pay for bottled water in any form (unless you live where the tap water is disgusting - Oxford been a good example from my experience)

You are basically buying an expensive bottle that happens to have water in it.
