h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I did have water that had extra oxygen in it apparently... It was the only bottled water in the petrol station and I was desperately thirsty or I'd not have touched it... Apparently it was for athletes.

They claimed it was actually H2O2 but I dont know how the science works on that one...

Maybe there was less water in the bottle, so that there would be more air and, thus, more oxygen. Plus, it's lighter to carry and hence can improve athletes' performances.

There was a definite claim that there was more oxygen forced into the water itself...

H202 is Hydrogen Peroxide, I hope you weren't drinking that!

I thought it was something dodgy...



Hrm, it was years ago now. When I was doing my driving lessons so... nine years ago

Aww, now I feel

There are some weirdoes who advocate taking hydrogen peroxide by mouth or even intravenously to boost your oxygen levels

hm... Not my idea of fun. I remember thinking it was weird stuff, but it was just water.

Maybe they put teeny oxygen bubbles through it. Aerated it if you will. Very strange. (It wasn't sparkling or bubbling).

Nor did it bleach me in any way or burn!

Ah, but did it do any of the things it promised on the package?

Er... I've no idea.

I finished my driving lesson without dying of thirst or anything, so I guess it didn't do me any harm *twitch*

the ozone layer is no longer as sick as it used to be. thanks to the international treaties made in the 90's

it gives us some hope. if we can make new treaties we may save the arctic

And then use the extra ozone to put in water bottles, so it can be "infused with O3 - 50% more oxygen than normal oxygen!"

actually we have problems with too much ozone down here, i hear

but then what do i know?



ps: that was a rhetorical question, by the way

Yes - all the "Luftkurorte" - the old sanatoriums where they sent the people with lung problems - have very high concentrations of ozone. They discovered sometime in the 19th Century that bacteria were killed off by the air in these areas, so they decided it must be healthy...
