Random question, but do you spend a lot of time at sites like that? The reason I ask, is that I notice that when I do things like that, I felt myself envious or worse, find myself actually thinking I need that. The worst was prior to a trip to Vegas, I would look at restaurants at the hotels on the strip and then instead found restaurants off the strip that were phenomenal and definitely cheaper. What was better was the people I ate with (used to being dined out) thought that these unknown restaurants were better, and were different than the typical places they had been.

Hi, MgoSam.

No, actually, I don't ever visit luxury sites.   My husband was watching a clip from ABC News and this product was mentioned.  I thought the members of this forum might enjoy reading about it.  I searched for "Beverly Hills 90H20" in Google and found this article.  I guess I could have just put up the official website for the product, though.

I'm glad, cause that product is utterly ridiculous. Sad part is, my guess is that it will sell. I hope to never be at restaurants that serve it.

The whole site is so silly! Every item featured there should come with a facepunch.

Agreed, not to mention that the writing was terrible. I got the impression the writers there likely hate their job and it shows in their writing.

Meh . . . no more ridiculous than drinking bottled water.  They just have a higher markup.
