Chicago water is so popular that people bring it back home by the gallon. One of my friends at work told me about how an out-of-state relative of his requested that he bottle up a few gallons of Chicago water to bring back home. “They just love the Chicago water.”
People buy water from fresh mountain springs. How about people buying water fresh from Chicago’s Lake Michigan? I do have to agree that we have some fine water here. What should be the slogan for Chicago water? Here’s a few brainstorm farts:
- The water that works
- Water for the working person
- City of big water
- Second city, first-class water
- Windy city, pure water
- The official water of the Chicago Cubs
Chicago Water Works Chicago Water – Now with less sludge Chicago Water – Less stinky than Dasani Chicago Water – Makes your mouth water (stolen) Chicago Water – You’ll be asking for it. But I don’t think you should be drinking water directly out of Lake Michigan.
I can’t think of any slogans (yet). Does it explain on this blog how you feel about stealing ideas from it? I really like the virtual snowball fight.
ha, the water from my faucet traverses old pipes first so it’s decidedly less clear than yours… at least that’s not a city wide problem 🙂
Tom, your slogans are too funny! Moe, hahaha! what do you mean by stealing ideas from it? Are you going to start your own bottled Chicago water company? I’ll tell ya what, that certainly would not work in Chicago, because people get the stuff right out of their faucet. While I’m not a fan of bottled water, you can go ahead and use this idea. That would humor me incredibly. Awww, cat. That’s too bad. Y’know I have debates with the buddy quoted in this post about the Chicago water (as he’s a bottled water fan and often asks why nobody has replaced the bottled water dispenser at work which i give him the typical reply that the tap water is just fine, and then sometimes I take some water and put some crap in it and tell him, “look what I got from your bottled water dispenser!”). We’ve also wondered just how does the water stay all clean when it has to travel through all those pipes. It’s a mystery to me. And it looks like it doesn’t always do it for everyone. *shrugs*
The Water That Works is great!
I stole your SNOW FORT, not your tap water.
OK, I am the said defender of bottled water at work but only because the water that travels through Tribune Tower pipes is filled with rust, copper, Col. McCormick dust, etc. My Chicago water at home tastes 100X better than the swill at work. As far as water names, how about: -Lake Michigan Milk -H2chicag0 -Smelts Away! -Alewife Ale
Lake Michigan Milk?! EWWWWWW! that is SO bad, it’s hilarious.
i once lived in san diego and i must say our water is better…. but i didn’t know it was universally good. Is this true?! Like validated by some sort of reliable source?
Worked great for a few years, maybe 20 trips. Does not leak. I used it for water to wash or rinse dishes, not to drink.
