Water We Tasting

This episode was recorded last Christmas and I forgot to release it so here we are. We try a watertok inspired water and some water sticks. We appreciate Claire's mother for acquiring a truly amazing collection of water sticks from the other side of the world.

Blackwater, probably an SEO nightmare. This episode is oddly topical considering it was recorded months ago. We talk about Belle Gibson the topic of a recently announced Netflix show as well as disgraced shock jock Alan jones.  We learn that when it comes to health claims the onus doesn't seem to be on the one making the claim to show evidence.  We also talk about the Real House Wives of New Jerse...

We reach an inevitable point in our podcasting journey where we start talking about merch. Should be get branded cans printed? Probably. We discuss reaching out to other podcasts that have actual listeners in order to grow our reach as if they would have anything to gain from that.  We taste a plain water with a fun can and a flavoured and functional water who's can we also appreciate.  Rippl Wate...

In this episode we are fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, never running from a real fight...oh wait no that was Sailor Moon. We are joined by a new dog cohost Freddie who really comes in strong taking initiative from day 1. We talk about Anime, water, food, dogs, the important things.  We taste two Ocean Bomb waters with sailor moon themed cans. 

We discuss the happenings on the ultimate world cruise as they make their way through Australia and Asia.  Do we want to go on a cruise now? Still probably not. We then pivot to the return of "does it taste like the thing?" With blackberry bubbly and actual blackberries. Listen to find out how that goes.

We are back after some cold water exposure talking about Andrew Huberman, pop science, why water is low hanging fruit for wellness grifters, and our appetite for risk when it comes to trying wellness things. We finish up by tasting La Croix Coconut ni Cola our review will shock you.

In this episode we talk about doing ice baths and shallow water or hypoxic blackout, one of the risks of deep breathing exercises around water but forgot what it was called.  We talk about water and wellness in general, the logistics of doing this particular wellness thing.      https://www.royallifesaving.com.au/stay-safe-active/risk-factors/hypoxic-blackout

Another episode from the archives that we never got around to releasing.  This may have been our first "is it even water?" We talk about celebrity water endorsements and Alienergy maybe water.

Its the anniversary of our first episode of the podcast! This unreleased episode is from the archives, this may have been one of the first episodes that we recorded and I think we kind of thought we wouldn't need to prepare or anything.  It may have been 2021.

We start off the way we often do talking about things we saw on Tiktok including a 9 month long world cruise.  Following what was probably a seamless transition we talk about Adam Sandlers 1998 movie The Waterboy and also about Sandler's career in general. I'd like to say this is a career low point but as we mention in the episode he has made movies that are worse. This episode was requested by qu...

Australian tries weird American food and reacts, this is a style of content that is prevalent on the internet so here is our contribution to the genre.  Sorry misophoniacs there may be eating noises. A tenuous link to the original podcast theme was made here but this will probably not be the last time this happens.   The Recipe I used for this episode: 1 packet Pistachio Jell-O Pudding Mix 1 can o...

We made a Christmas episode but this isn't it. In this episode Claire and Alex discuss a few different types of thirst traps. The possibility of doing a TikTok dance is floated but ultimately it is outside of their skill set.  

Alex explains his defensive wounds. We try a water from New Zealand, talk about Gippsland landmark The Potato Shed, and shoe horn the mushroom lady into the theme. Are we going to be a true crime podcast now? Claire didn't choose the Water We Tasting life the Water We Tasting life chose her.  We talked about Chi squared and then didn't know what it was so here it is: A Chi squared test is used to...

Claire decides to start the episode with a not so fun fact.  A fancy Tasmanian water is evaluated. Alex speculates about what is involved in developing a water.

We start with a teaser for an upcoming episode.  We try some plain water in cans and discuss what we would do in the unlikely event that we were asked to sell out.  The products we try are two examples of the same thing, however, one is a marketing genius and one seems to be an under marketed emulation.

We discuss the changing availability of minimally flavoured waters in Australia and try Bubly.

We are joined by Charlotte, Alex's Fiancee and water enthusiast so she too could be disappointed by another is it water? Water. Points awarded for the packaging and unusual flavour. Points deducted for overall enjoyability.

We try some waters that are infused with crystals, are botanical flavoured and were bottled under the new moon.  It's a lot! We feel like we made it as podcasters because these were supplied by a listener.  This is the first instalment of the crystal water range.

Claire engages earnestly in the TikTok trend that is WaterTok.  After several weeks on TickTok living amongst the WaterTokers she reports everything she has learned about TikTok, WaterTok and herself along the way.  The following water recipes are made and sampled. Splice Water: 1 can of Bubly Lime 1 splash of Cottees Coola cordial 1 Splash of Billsons Creamy soda cordial 1 sprinkle of Pocari Swea...

We try Pomegranate Santa Vittoria and some actual pomegranates. We also try a cherry pomegranate San Pellegrino that you cant buy anywhere even if you wanted to.

Broadening our horizons in the hydrosphere we sort of learn about water therapy.  We conduct a blinded, crossover design, randomised controlled trial of water with positive affirmations vs vehicle.  "Famously water can't hear you in the fridge."

We watch a movie from the 90's with water in the title and try what seems to be the most ubiquitous flavoured sparkling water available in Australia.

We taste two very different waters available at your local supermarket (if you live in Australia). A functional water of many flavours and health claims and a simple minimally flavoured water that we suspect has a secret.  

Brought to you by a trip to the Asian grocer. A side by side comparison of two cultured dairy waters, this episode is not vegan.  We find ourselves wondering is it water? A question that will no doubt come up again in future episodes.

A short episode discussing the numerous waters that we cave amassed and are hoping to taste and discuss in future episodes.  If you haven't listened yet start here for some insight into future episodes.
