      Yep, the poor and destitute will buy up tons of this!

      And the smart ones, will relabel this stuff, "Natural Spring Water from Japans Snowy Mountains"!


      With a health warning, that this product may cause tooth loss!

    He should have been wearing one of those big radiation suits, then try & get other people to drink the water. Maybe stick one of those green glow sticks in the bottle, lol.

      Did you notice the symbol on his sleeve, OR the bottle?

    He had the radiation symbol on his shirt and there was one right on the bottle. He practically shoved it in people's faces when he showed them the bottle. Now you know why I call some people cud chewers.

      The old guy could have been a plant?


      But he could have been retired, and thought, sure save some money, doesn't matter if my teeth start to fall out, if most of them are gone? :rolleyes:


      Or he could have been a Fluoride drinking sheep?


      Hard to tell!


      This reminds me of the Bill Gates Foundation initiative to use Urine to power stuff in third world countries!

      Great idea, until a small crowd have to drink substantial amounts of beer to keep their video game going! He, he!

    This shows ignorance in a LOT of areas!

    1. They ARE trying to kill us! It is simply that they want to milk us and can only do it CERTAIN ways. One of the scams that CREATED the FDA was selling RADIOACTIVE WATER! SERIOUSLY! They claimed it had MEDICINAL qualities. Though some may have been fake, other water was NOT. One predominant symptom was SEVERE bone loss! The FDA OUTLAWED such sales.

    2. That symbol means RADIOACTIVE!

    3. Radioactivity is generally BAD!

    4. Japan had a MAJOR radiation leak putting the ENTIRE REGION at SEVERE RISK!

    5. It was centered in fukoshima!

      Hi Steve,

      Who's trying to kill you?

      Are you saying the Japanese thought, as a result of the radiation leaked caused by a bloody enormous tidal wave hitting it, that caused it to mass leak radiation into the sea, they'd use the water to create bottled water to kill Americans?

      I'm sure glad I think like I do, I don't think I could face the world each day thinking like that.

      The video was a joke too wasn't it? The guys a prankster. Besides, I doubt a lot of people have heard of Fukushima, or know what the radiation symbol is. Most people don't know anything outside their own little lives.

        It was only a joke and, true, people who have never worked with radiation might not recognize the symbol for it.

        What it does show is that people are inclined to do what they are told and take what is offered to them without giving it much thought. In the part of the video I watched only one guy got the joke.

          Those are safety symbols you will see all over heck and back if you look for them -- some of them are on products in the store - not often the one for radiation, but the ones for toxic material or flammable. It's kinda people's responsibility to themselves to know a few things - this is one of them.

          Once you show radiation symbols and talk about radioactive isotopes, if the person is still clueless - that's just disgusting. No wonder we're living in a Nanny state.

        NO, the water was NOT from fukushima. HECK, fukushima is having trouble selling food, last I heard.

        The video WAS a joke! The guy IS a prankster!

        WOW, I guess the average person must be VERY naive. Then again, with how people react, YIKES!

        As for my statement about how "THEY" are trying to kill *****US*****!?!?!? WHO KNOWS! TOY manufacturers, certain electronic suppliers, bakers, etc... They throw poisons and junk EVERYWHERE. Look at labels! Research components. It IS there.

        HECK, people DIED from salmonella from PEANUTS after that PCA fiasco. I almost wish I were an amish land owner.

    HECK YEAH! They did studies! The #1 way to convey information is through COLOR! The #2 is POSITION! The #3 is SYMBOLS! Text actually is #4! THAT is why gauges are still popular, and why they use color and shapes as they do.

    At one point, various areas tried to get people to understand where bomb shelters were! Fallout shelter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Note the symbol! The Atom bomb, and the danger it creates, is FAR from secret. What's next? Will an international PLAGUE be spread because someone doesn't pay attention to a biohazard warning? Biological hazard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    DON'T think it can't happen. There are biohazards ALL OVER hospitals! WASTE, laundry, dirty implements, and "sharps containers" Sharps container - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia to name just a FEW! Note the symbol on this INCREDIBLY popular container! Look carefully and you will notice them in doctors offices, and hospitals, to name just a couple places.
