The water you are drinking is depleted of...

Hydrogen...?

I mean honestly... Where do these people come from.

Walking around town the other day I saw a roadside shop so I stopped and asked what she was selling. Her wares consisted of little chalky looking sticks that she claimed were Hydrogen Sticks. I asked what they were for, and I quote "The water you have been drinking is depleted of hydrogen! You put these sticks into your bottles of water and it will fix the problem!"

*facepalm*

I asked if she took chemistry is high school and she said that she dropped out. So I asked her what H2O stood for and she said "Water!". So I asked, "And what happens if I take one of those hydrogens, yes those are the H's, away? That's right, it's not water anymore. Her only response was "Well of course it's still water silly, otherwise you couldn't add more hydrogen to it with these sticks." She then gave me an odd look as if I had just told her there was actually a monkey shitting on her head that she couldn't see or feel.

I mean really? Anyone else here anything as crazy as this lately?

I am now curious to know what exactly was in those sticks, and where I can get some. --sniff--

Btw, ^love^ the name, he is one of my favorite characters of all time.

Hihi, I remember a street interview on the hight of the CO2 debate asking people if they'd give CO2 to their kids or drink it themselves. People were abhorred by the sole idea of consuming such bad stuff :lol: :lol: :lol:

But if I bought one of these sticks and got my grandpa's oxygene concentrator I could make things that go boom!

Reminds me of the old Dihydrogen monoxide hoax.

Not to mention I'd expect H2O and what it stands for to be general knowledge by now, even with no knowledge of Chemistry. I wonder what was in those things. Or maybe I don't want to know, on second thought.

Two things:

Is there some sort of claim that, sans sticks, we're all drinking hydrogen peroxide? I think we'd have noticed!

Secondly, was there actually an invisible, intangible monkey shitting on her head?

You can't prove it's not! *prays to it*

scalyblue: yeah, he's my favorite as well :p

And really, I have no idea what the sticks actually were. On second thought I should have taken one to find out. Unfortunately I was too dumbfounded at the time to do much anything really.

Marcus: I'm not sure she knows what hydrogen peroxide is. And yes, of course there was a monkey shitting on her head, because I have faith there was...

Zylstra: You think maybe we should start a cult?

No. The Monkey is yet another manifestation arising from the vibrations of the form of the divine appendages of M. Only fools worship such created things.

They probably were Dr. H. Hayashi's hydrogen water sticks.

They claim that increasing the hydrogen gas dissolved in the water somehow makes it healthier. The sticks may contain a small amount of Magnesium metal according to a website I came across. There are also devices available to do this via electrolysis.

But it sounds about as effective as a magnetic bed to improve fertility or Alex Chiu's "eternal life" rings to me.

This page is hilarious! :lol:

I like especially the straight line between copper (Cu) and "Cell unit" (also Cu, waddya know!).

OK that water can dissolve gas, but hello, 15 min in half a liter of water? If any gas is formed it'll just poof out as soon as you open the cork... Maybe you can get a flash if you put a lighter there? :D

Oh, and the best of all, under 'The Stick':
Dr. Hayashi's Original Hydrogen-Rich Water Stick, an FDA Registered Medical Device, creates cleaner, less acidic, Hydrogen fortified anti-oxidant water right in your own water bottle!

Less acidic!? I thought H+ was the acid part... :facepalm:

unfortunately my English isn,´t good enough to Translate his Babbling properly (maybe Giliell is able to do this)
He claims that he is a graduate mathematician but show no Sigh that he is even capable of forming even one coherent Sentence. If you think Kent Hovind is a Nutshell he is of the Scale.

here a Google Translation (it is a bit rough but I doubt a better Translation would make more Sense)

I'm trying to decide if that is any worse than this. It's a difficult choice to make.

Maybe she didn't have a sprinkler 20 ya..? Or was it mostly cloudy in CA then?

Solid hydrogen would be really cold for one...

I hate these people, they remind me of the woman who was scared of the rainbow a sprinkler made in her back garden...
