Richard’s Rainwater – Still

Contents: Rain. That’s what it says. Yes, it says that. I believe it. I want to believe it. I wonder if this is correct, though—I mean, the difference between rain and rainwater. I’m thinking it’s rain when it’s coming down, but once it’s been earthbound, collected, it becomes rainwater. They know that, though, if that’s the case. They’re just being cute saying: “Ingredients: rain.” It certainly captures your imagination. The taste is no taste, fresh and clean—it’s as good tasting as any plain, still water I’ve ever had. It goes down like nothing. It comes in a 16 ounce can with a really nice design—small, stylized, two-tone raindrops, alternating two versions, utilizing three shades of blue—a clever, killer design. Naturally, there’s a good website that explains more—I’ll read it sometime. A guy named Richard started the company. (Not to be confused with Richards Wild Irish Rose bumwine. Though, if that company wants to get in the sparking water game, I’m on board for “Triple Peach!”) This Richard’s also makes carbonated rainwater—which I’ll try when I find some. (Though… carbonated rainwater? Kinda weird.) And then, someday, what I’d really like to do is visit wherever the rain is captured and ultimately put in these containers. That’s got to be fascinating. I really like the idea. Of course, many questions arise.
