I would have thought chinese herbal remedies are up there, but I can't list... 
And Tiger's P£n!$ will not pass the profanity filter, so bottled water (as per Coca Cola from Dartford) Must be in with a chance!!!
Going for the Alan Davis score here.

As An Amateur Polymath, I am also part-Vulcan, I have therefore eschewed human love for knowledge and learning. True beauty is mathematical....

In truth I have two lists.
The first round of klaxons catch the initial "obvious" guesses - then I have my klaxons which are the "obvious" guesses once the forum turns towards getting close to the solution. 
There's less of those but - Just don't be obvious and I won't be forced to wallop you with the foam mallet of points adjustment.

Clive, That previous link was not a search. I just remember the furore behind C.C. using tap water as mineral water, which not everyone, globaly, may be aware of. If I need to be penalised, I'll accept it, but it was more for information. I'm still clueless!

I just point this out due to:
'I can only say I am sorry but when I put in the original post "don't google or use wikipedia" - I mean it and I will disqualify anyone from my forums if on a particular round I suspect this. '
But it's your quiz!
