I was at Dean & Deluca when I noticed what looked like a new section filled with vodka bottles. Once I got closer I realized that what I thought was vodka turned out to be nearly two dozen kinds of high end water bottles. Here is a larger picture of the above in which you can read the brand names of the water. [Picture]

Mark and Nat, a married couple who are living in Kuwait. Both are designers, Mark works in advertising while Nat works in television. This blog is based in Kuwait.
Here are some links related to this blog.
Some of the older blogs Mark's worked on.
Shift through my older posts by subject.
Here is a list of some other interesting blogs.
Price range?
bet ya it costs more than vodka …..
same tast ?
there is no such thing as high end water
water is water , H2O with some minerals
the rest of the money goes to the brand name and bottle cost and shipping
Thats being naive. Not all water is the same.

Proves nothing, just pick up a bottle of ABC water and taste it and then pick up a bottle of Arwa and taste it. If you can’t tell the difference in taste and smell then you’re lucky.
Also I know some people for example who buy the brand of water Rim due to the fact it contains low sodium.

koln yo’3ani 3la laylah ;)
Do they have glacéau smartwater?
have they re-bottled ” sulaiby ” now thats the bomb !!
HUH!! Just another way to make money!!
I just can understand how people pay a premium for water.Water is everywhere, no point in buying it.Just get a good filter like coolpex and drink good water.
Look like they took my recommendation seriously. Do I get commission on this at all?? free expensive water for a month???
Now imagine a life with no consequences and a bat in your hand. =O
I think I’ll stick with abraaj!
Okay Araw and ABC is one thing. Because the price difference is minimal.
But no way are you going to convince me that its worth paying upwards of a 1KD for any kind of high end bottled/glassed/cubed water.
Most of it tends to be worse or near to other bottled water and only expensive due to package and marketing campaigns.
Humanity is such fail.
finally glass water bottles in kuwait! the plastic ones r very harmful especially in this hot weather and bad storage and transportation..
Do they stock up on ” Himalayan”?
Water is supposed to be tasteless and odorless.
You can achieve this by taking normal tap water and passing it through a reverse osmosis filter. No need to drink fancy/pansy water.
But hey, it’s their money and they are free to spend it.
This has been a trend that’s been going on for a while now in the States – designer water. Bling H2O (www.blingh2o.com), for example. I’m sure D&D is cashing in on Kuwait’s superficial desire for anything designer.
The most expensive bottle of water was sold to an Arab dude in January 09 at Burj al Arab for $23,000.
Ok that looks pretty cool!
Fiji is the best!
Vodka! hahahaha…wishful thinking,lololol….
Hmm… I would say without beeing bias.. VOSS is the best.. from Norvegian mountains…pure and simple. As a country where you still can drink from the tab..I belive it is the purest water. And the bottle has won serveral awards world wide…and can be reused for other drinks…=)
ma3indohom salfa!
Water for those who don’t know EVIAN is naive spelled backwards XD !!
Designer water.What a farce.A mix of ABC and Vodka would taste just as good.After the second glass.
I personally hate water and it’s taste. Blukh.
with all due respect but anyone who buys that stuff is retarded .. expensive 3al fadhi
Zay, water isn’t supposed to have taste.
Where can I buy “voss”water is Kuwait?

Hey there,
U can get the Voss water from Dean & deluca, it has been shielded for centuries under ice and rock in the untouched wilderness of Central Norway.
10,000 BC Water
Got some for my home two days ago.
OMG, the guy who explained about is awesome. He has lots of information & I tought he was using his talking skills to sell it across to me.. I picked up the key points and did research on my own.. it is true…. this people is full of knowledge.
He spoke about the where it came from and the process of getting it. Water came from melted glacier ice, how does the glacier movements happens, the heat created during the movement results to the flow of water to the underground. It is so pure and it is from Hat Mountain Glacier, Toba Inlet – Canada.
I stopped and talked with a manager on the floor as he was getting ready to put these out on display. We both laughed :D
