Heads up people, this is actually cool.

So, for an unknown reason I just have to do a post about something very vital for every one of us and probably also because I am a bit bored, obviously. Anyway, I was wondering about water… And where this whole thing is heading… Kidding. But all the shelves in stores are full of ugly, plastic water bottles and people buy them. In my opinion it would be much nicer to buy tasty water in a beautiful bottle. Maybe in a glass bottle, which probably is healthier and way more cooler! Haha.

Anyway, while I was in London something funny happened. I had to buy myself some water, so I was standing in front of a shelf full of bottles trying to figure out which was still and which sparkling, since it's not so obvious on the Voss bottles because of the small text. Then two guys came to the same shelf, looked at the bottles and wondered to each other in Norwegian if it was vodka or not… It was funny because Voss is a Norwegian product and yes, it was funny at that particular moment.
The point is that either men are too slow or the bottle’s design was just so amazing that it managed to confuse even Norwegians to think it was vodka, or simply the remark that Norwegians expect to find alcohol in everything…

Either way, Voss has beautiful and compact glass bottles designed by Neil Kraft (they do make plastic ones too) and what comes to the actual water… Well it did taste different and better!
The idea, created by Ole Christian Sandberg and Christopher Harlem, was to share with the rest of the world pure and delicious water, which comes from an aquifer shielded under ice and sand. So, Voss is a brand of artesian water from NORWAY and is bottled in Iveland.
Voss also produce energy drink called G Pure Energy and supports The Voss Foundation whose primary goal is to provide clean drinking water to African communities.



I kind of lost my original point here. Well, other water brands that have made nice bottle designs are OGO and Ty Nant.So basically what I’m trying to say is that SCANDINAVIA RULES! Hhahahahaa. And give Voss a try!
