Good morning.
Speaker A:It's haystack.
Speaker A:And you know grocery prices are still a pain in the behind.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker A:But if somebody told you a place was selling a cup of water for $12, you might wonder, is nothing sacred anymore?
Speaker A:Well, the luxury grocery chain Erewhon has started selling cups of sacred water for $12 each.
Speaker A:And it's not regular tap water, it's water plus, get this ice plus quote add ons unquote.
Speaker A:And if you're not sold yet, check this out.
Speaker A:Sacred water is a partnership between this grocery store, Erewhon, that's in the greater LA area, and a company that makes shower head filters.
Speaker A:Now, apparently the precious add ons are not the gunk that gets trapped in showerheads.
Speaker A:Erewhon describes the drink as a clarified herbal tonic infused with organic jasmine tea and botanical extracts.
Speaker A:Served as a refreshing elixir poured over ice.
Speaker A:The listed ingredients are coconut water, jasmine tea, raw honey, holy basil, something I can't pronounce, and something else I can't pronounce, light grape juice and coconut milk.
Speaker A:Now of course, naturally some people are intrigued.
Speaker A:Many are roasting it.
Speaker A:One person said sacred water more like shower water.
Speaker A:And if you care, the Showerhead brand is called Jolie.
Speaker A:Erewhon also carries their stuff for like 170 bucks.
Speaker A:So for 200 bucks, you and your partner can improve your shower filtration and each grab a glass of fancy water.
Speaker A:For what it's worth, someone from the LA Times tried this sacred water and said that it tasted like coconut water without any kind of hint of any of the other ingredients.
