same here.
I can appreciate the occasional energy drink to get you trough a days low (that combination of coffeine, fizzy, sugar, random substances that might be good or really bad for you plus a shitton of placebo really activates my almonds), but this white monster shit?
WTF?
Since it is 0 calories, I hoped that it would be less sweet, but boy was I wrong.
That stuff is like sugar3. How can you even make a substance that sweet? Absolutely pic related.

Hydrogeologist here that has worked for some international water brands.

So here is some things that I just feel like I must say, hoping that someone might learn something.

>muh springs!
>muh precious untouched water as nature intended!
I have bad news for you buddy, a spring does not necessarily imply that it has old water. more often than not, it has fairly recent water.
True, in order to come out of a spring, the water has to travel through some rocks and gravel and stuff, but unless you do a geological survey and some tracer tests, you have no way of knowing if its just a few days (not good) or a few months (better) or more.

Fun story: close to my previous work place there also is a little spring in the forrest. somehow word got around that the gipsies are always getting there water from there. Soon, some websites popped up, tlaking about all kinds of esoterical shit, and more and more people came there, to get some jugs of the precious water.
The local government also got wind of it (mainly because of the parking situation!) and tested the magical spring.
No special contents at all, apart from a way to high bacterial content.

Fun story two: I used to do a contract for a spring water bottling plant on some mountains, close to a very famous monastery. so the water was very famous too, and the whole pilgrimage stuff was a huge marketing advantage.
Problem just was, they had a huge bacterial issue with their water.
so after some field detective work, I figured out the following:
that nice holy monastery in the middle of nowhere was just discarding their sewage down the slope.
There it just seeped into the fractured mountain sides, and shortly after, landed it the lower springs.

On a frigging disgusting standard issue supermarket Orange with pesticides and petroleum based wax on its peel.

You disgust me! compared to that, the germs from the scale are harmless. Also, how do you make sure that the nasty person that touched your precious scale did not also touch your orange in its crate, while that person was grabing his orange?
