This Bottle of Water Costs $100

Fillico Beverly Hills is a super glamorous bottled water brand from Osaka that costs $100/bottle. It's double that if you get the silver or gold crown, or the golden wings. The frosted glass bottles are decorated with Swarovski crystals and etched with gold paint. Amazing! It's being distributed at schmancy places like the Ritz Carlton in Tokyo, and is a huge hit among the indulgent I-wanna-feel-rich crowd. I got a tiny sample cup today. It's good, but nothing special. Despite the misleading brand name, the water is from a spring in Kobe, not LA. That's probably a good thing.

Here in Kyoto, I'll pick up a canteen and fill it with some water from a stream and charge only ¥500 when I get back to the states. What a bargain!
