I would become rich and influential, and live a life steeped in unbridled hedonism and depravity. But alas, I can never think of such things as peddling distilled seawater to the terminally gullible.

Hawai'i in a bottle for only 2 dollars

MaHaLo Hawaii Deep Sea Water sells well in Japan, where it is touted as beneficial to one's health in many ways.
Koyo USA Corp. is opening a showroom in Waikiki Monday to elucidate and sell its bottled MaHaLo Hawaii Deep Sea drinking water.
Prices for the water at Koyo's Waikiki showroom will be about twice as much as typical bottled water. A half-liter bottle retails for $2, with a 1.5-liter bottle going for $4.50. In Japan, Koyo sells its 1.5-liter bottle for $6.
The roughly 1,200-square-foot showroom on Seaside Avenue in the Waikiki Shopping Plaza is described as part museum and part store, with displays describing the evolution of the product from Hawai'i, and a bar selling and serving bottles, coffee and tea containing the desalinated seawater.
"It's like a mini museum," said Yutaka Ishiyama, marketing and sales manager for Koyo. "It's like a water museum to explain our deep seawater."
Two bucks for a 1/2 liter bottle -- such a deal! Soapy Smith must be spinning like a Republican spoksman in his grave..... he didn't think of it, either.
