Skinny water??

I buy my Rescue Remedy amongst other things from Holland and Barrett (www.hollandandbarrett.com) and an advert for a product called Skinny Water landed in my in-box this morning.

Less than 10cals per bottle and tasting slightly of pomegranate juice as well as being fortified with chromium and other things. (I thought chromium was poisonous?) I cannot think of any reason why this should be better for you at 3 times the price of ordinary bottled water and probably 1000 times more expensive than tap water. Apparently it's used by celebrities - for bathing in perhaps? I always thought you drank water not used it.

To me this is an example of the old saying about there being 'one born every minute'.
