Water Everywhere
Remember how I told you I had my first glass of Voss water back at the casino a while back, well last week I went and had 4 bottles. I’m not a HUGE fan of sparkling water, but Voss is awesome. I was told by someone there that you can buy it at Fresh Market. Advice I’m not sure I wish I heard.
The next day I went to Fresh Market and purchased $30 worth of Voss Still water, no more sparkling for me. Over the weekend at the poker tournament, which I finished in 45th spot out of 1000+ entrants, I drank through the entirety of the Voss water I had purchased. Time to go back to Fresh Market for some more.
They were all out of the glass 800mL bottles, so I got the plastic 1 liter bottles (Voss Red) instead. They are $2.99 each compared to $2.49 for 800mL. The smaller 300mL glass bottles cost $1.49.
I’ve tried to drink other water, and I can taste the difference. Nothing tastes good to me besides Voss anymore. I’m now up to drinking two 1-liter bottles per day at work, and at least 1 more at night. During lunch I bring a 300mL with me to Chipotle for my rice & beans. That puts it at over $10/day in water. Granted there are more expensive and far more harmful addictions habits. I guess since I am only spending $0.70 cents at lunch, and $0.70-$1.99 on dinner, it all balances out.
Still, there is over $30 in empty water bottles in the above pictured trash can here at work. I know water is recommended to help lose weight on a low-fat diet, but I can’t seem to drink anything else besides Voss.

I’m willing to bet it’s … Rice and Beans!
Cheap and tasty. And virtually fat free.
(alas, in my new job, I’m still searching for a good rice ‘n beans joint. I’m relegated to just rice at the next door Chinese food take out.

I’m with ya man. I Love Voss. I first had Voss back in June at a restaurant called Nero’s inside Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. At that dinner we drank 2 of the .800ml bottles. So after we got home from vacation i had to track down a place in town that had it. Luckliy i found it at Cost Plus World Market. I bought 2 cases of the .800ml glass still bottles, and will get more once i’m through with these. I’m kind of a water snob. Once you taste what truly tasteless water tastes like, everything else is crap. Even spring water, which was once very good now has a taste to me. It has to be Voss!
