moosigal – 59 cents for a one liter bottle! It scares me that it’s that cheap.

i should say i agree with all your comments about Aquafina’s water products. bleh! seriously, I can get the same thing by chewing on pennies from my grandpa’s overall pockets.

now that your sparkling water aversion has *somewhat* been lifted, I recently found Market Pantry Naturally Flavored Sparking Water. Only $0.59 per 1 liter. Mmm mmm good. Espcially the white grape flavor.

lakitu – Voss…Now that’s some expensive stuff in a pretty bottle, which I think is the reason why it’s so expensive.

Ooooo yay, new sparkling water. My favorite is Voss, which as far as I can tell, can only be purchased at Neiman Marcus for a damn pretty penny. I must try to get my grubby hands on some Soliss!

TheInfamousJ – After I take the photo with my digital camera, I open it up in Adobe Photoshop. I have a Photoshop plugin called Knockout from Corel (www.corel.com), which allows me to “knockout” the background. Knockout gets rid of most of the background, but I almost always have to do some cleaning up in Photoshop. After I’m done cleaning it up, I shrink the picture size to something reasonable in Photoshop, so it doesn’t take forever to appear in a browser. Hope this answers your question.

This has probably been asked before, but how do you do those product pictures?

kat – Oh, must torture myself and find Dasani sparkling water…

nat – The ginger part sounded kind of gross, but luckily there wasn’t a whole lot of it.

Christine – Or if you have a friend in the UK.

kaos – Another anagram, “A SNARK TWERP GIL.” I don’t know what that means either.

Webmiztris – Actually, is sounds kind of European, maybe French-Canadian.

And remember, “SPARKLING WATER” is an anagram for “A PRANK WETS GIRL”.

I have no idea what that means.

Oh no! I got all excited when I saw this one, because it sounds so good! Now you tell me I can’t get it here? Where am I going to get me a German friend?! :)

OOPs, it IS carbonated. I still stick by the pear and ginger thing being gross!

No, pear and ginger flavoring in water just sounds ga-ross to me. Maybe it’s me. I don’t like that Fruit 2-O crap,either. Now put some carbonation in there and you’ve got a product!

Coke already has Dasani sparkling, it’s horrible too.

SEV – I speak the truth. Also, while you’re getting yourself a bottle, can you pick me up a bottle of the Strawberry and Banana Soliss and ship it here. Only kidding.

birdwoman – Since Aquafina is part of the Pepsi Corporation, I’m just waiting for Coke to come out with their version of Aquafina Sparkling. So you may get your wish a whole lot earlier.

Damon – If you put all the sparkling water together, then, yes, the Impulsive Buy is still better. But one-on-one with the Soliss, it totally kicks the Impulsive Buy’s ass.

akiko – Hey! Never judge a book by its cover. Or a quasi-product review blog editor by his hairy chest.

Becky – Finding out there’s great tasting sparkling water has shown me that anything is possible. I just hope that “monkeys fly out of my butt”-thing doesn’t come true.

Megan – Once again, thank you for sending this to me. Now I will be a sparkling water snob and ONLY drink Soliss. Of course, this means I won’t be drinking Soliss until I find my way to Europe.

Chuck – Trader Joe’s…Yeah, that’s another store we need here. As for Aquafina, I agree with you. The soft drink companies should stick to what they do best.

Megan – I find it unfair that water there is cheaper than water here, and I’m frickin’ surrounded by water. Oh wait, I can’t drink the water that surrounds me.
