You may have heard of natural water, sparkling water, even mineral water. But have you ever heard of ‘pure and vegetarian’ water? Us neither. But now, this one Indian company has come up with this truly outlandish concept. Prestige’s LifeStraw is a water purifier that churns out ‘pure and vegetarian’ water, or so it claims.<\/p>\n
Good thing that we live in the information age because the internet is having none of this ‘vegetarian water.’<\/p>\n

‘Halal’ Nightclub Closed Down in Saudi Arabia<\/a><\/p>\n Technological innovation moves faster than evolution, but not that fast. That’s exactly why the Internet went wild when an advert for a water purifier that gives you a ‘pure and vegetarian’ drink was published in a newspaper.<\/p>\n The ad accepts the absurdity of the situation, attempting to differentiate between veg and non-veg water.<\/p>\n “Pure vegetarian water? Must be an advertising gimmick! Actually it isn’t.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now for a bit of science lesson here.<\/p>\n Most purifiers kill germs present in water. However, this ad goes on to claim that these “chemically-killed micro-organisms, remain in the water, making it safe but effectively non-vegetarian.<\/em>”<\/p>\n Prestige claims that its water purifier ensures those dead germs (microbes) are “removed” so that you can get “pure” water. Fun fact, we also have microbes living in our mouth. And whats more, most of them are actually healthy for us.<\/p>\n Despite being home to fake news, the Internet knows better than to trust marketing hoaxes. Which is why Twitter lit up and could not be doused by this ad about ‘veg water’.<\/p>\n Water is non-vegetarian. India is irreparable. pic.twitter.com\/u6jK3B6yNc<\/a><\/p>\n — Sarfarosh (@BabaGlocal) June 20, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
