Water expert reveals brand secretfrom @martinriese

[01]

Overview

The creator, a self-proclaimed water sommelier, holds up a bottle of "Maison Perrier" in a grocery store. He explains that the brand has been forced to rebrand from its original spring water source due to contamination linked to climate change, referencing a scandal in France. He concludes that the new product is likely just processed tap water, using the vague "Water" ingredient on the label as evidence.

    Disclaimer: There are almost no information about the water source of Maison Perrier! Water should be transparent and Nestle is not really transparent with their information. So I assume it's municipal sourced now.

Transcript

Marsau Perrier. Here's Martin with Personal Waters from Melga. Did you ever wonder why they rebranded a little bit? So this water has nothing to do with the original Perrier sauce that we're all clear. They had to rebrand and relabel everything because their source in France is compromised due to climate change. And there was a huge scandal over the last several years with even the French government involved. So this water is currently owned by NASA. They're trying to sell it. They're trying to sell as well Aquapana and San Pellegrino. But looks like because they are very vague where this water is not coming from. Looks like it's nothing else than highly processed French tap better. Because when you look at the bottle here as well, ingredients, they're just saying better and then c o two. So this is not a natural middle water or spring water anymore. Cheers, my friends. And remember, water is clearly not just water. Cheers.
