Collect your own crazy bottles now
Like some demented pharmacist, I collected different kinds of water when I was around eleven years old. I wanted to do experiments like comparing ocean water from different locations, fermenting flower juice, and fooling my little sister. I also bought some litmus paper strips and had a lot of fun with them (the rest are still in my desk). The stained scrap of paper in this picture holds a list:
- N.J. seawater
- LA tap water - preserved for future testing
- rosemary water
- fake milk - why the Tia Maria can smells like talcum powder
- music water - from the fountain outside the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (I went to the opera a lot when I was eleven)
- watercolor juice - Lizzy refused to drink it
- car water
- jacaranda wine - after squeezing a ton of purple flowers, I was disappointed that the little bottle was only half full and added some balsamic vinegar (hey, it was the right color)
- hawaii pool water
- S.F. seawater - by this time, my family was beginning to think I was a bit weird
A brand consulting company somehow got the notion that Jeweled Platypus is one of the most influential teen blogs in America. LOL! They paid me $60 to blabber about search engine-portals though, which was fun.

I am a bit concerned about the water in different bottles. How old are they?

wow i remember those. i didn't understood the point, but i figured it was just another thing my feeble mind couldn't fathom, sort of like how the eiffel tower could have fallen over.
