Fun fact: There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system.
My mother says I'm a star
you must not be a radio star
So there's at least 2 hydrogen atoms in that water?
We're narrowing things down.
I bet it's double the amount!
Well, that's just wrong. I can name at least 10 stars in the solar system.
Are you not drinking H3O?
All these fools trying to add hydrogen to water when they should be focusing on dechlorinating table salt.
I assume they mean H2. Y'all laugh but H2 and H2O are different things. You can have both.
H2 can be dissolved in water. Now idk if or why you want that... Seems like the water would be sour

Ladies and gentlemen, they’ve done it.
So... h3O?
MFers went ahead and invented acids
Hear me out bro... H3O
Oh boy, I remember that! A blast from 2000!
Look at that publisher. I wonder what those guys are up to nowadays
Bro, BRO! Check this out, get extra OXYGEN in H₂O₂!!1!
DOUBLE the oxygen!
Even more oxigen and mineralization H~2~SO~4~
Johnny was a real good kid,
But now he is no more.
What he thought was H~2~O
Was H~2~SO~4~.
The burning means it's working, right?
Drink that shit like it's rocket fuel.

H3O water refers to hydronium ions, which make water more acidic. However, stable H3O water in bottled form doesn’t naturally exist—water always rebalances to H₂O. Pure H3O isn't drinkable it's too acid, It's ionized water, without any specific features. It's a publicity trick to sell it more expensive, like also this one, low in calories.

also sugar free
No gmo
Reminds me when I saw "Gluten free" on plain raw bacon packages.
It sounds ridiculous, but you’d be surprised how often wheat makes its way into vague ingredients such as “spices” (or less vague but seemingly benign ones like tamari, for example, or malt, or yeast), often unlabeled as containing wheat, barley, or rye.
If you have Celiac disease, you figure this stuff out over time. I’m glad to see bacon labeled as “gluten free” - it means I can trust it. Packaged bacon might have a seasoning or glaze applied to it. It’s so easy to get burned by stupid labeling (e.g., “ingredients: pork, salt, spices”).
If a terrifyingly minuscule amount of something could give you violent shits and debilitating migraines (an amount the size of a grain of sand will do it), you’d be cautious and suspicious of labelling as well.

But is it vegan?
As long as they don’t call it “organic”, that would kill my overly literal chemistry-nerd brain.

I feel bad for the vegans. The base idea is sound. A living creature shouldn’t be turned in a commercial product for multiple reasons. But rather than have a debate about the actual implications of such an idea, it gets reduced and amplified for the stupid people so corporate interests (which include PETA) can make a dollar.
I’d much rather see the brightest minds debate such an idea but instead, capitalism takes priority and so we get “meat is murder.”
I am so tired of trying to include the stupid people.

I have to assume it's just made sparkling with hydrogen instead of carbon dioxide. Heard about beer being hydrogenated in Japan several years ago and it had the side effect/party trick of being able to ignite your burps so you could belch fireballs.
Dissolved hydrogen is effectively acidifying it, no? That would be chugging fizzing acid. Must've been fun.
You get carbonic acid when carbonating water and some people like that taste, for some reason 🤷♂️
It's crazy tho how I was thinking similarly after posting the previous comment. If cabonated water gets the bitterness from carbonic acid, what would hydrogenated or nitrogenated water taste like? I've had Guiness and Pepsi Nitro. Both are made bubbly with nitrogen. And while the beer is good, the Pepsi just tasted like normal Pepsi, but like you had left it unsealed overnight.
Never had anything that was artificially hydrogenated, though. 🤔

As a chemistry teacher who regularly ignites Hydrogen gas, I cannot even imagine how dangerous it would be to ignite a hydrogen belch. That shit POPS.
Actually why it was news; some dude got drunk, belched fireballs at people and burnt the shit out of his esophagus.

This is the kind of bullshit they come up with when you don't allow them to put the good stuff in it.
Radium, that was the real thing, not this shit.
