After reading a trivia fact about the brain on my bottled water label, words started to flow, resulting in this letter to Zephyrhills Spring Water Company…
Dear Hydrators from the Hills:
When it comes to bottled water, I prefer Zephyrhills Spring Water. There’s no aftertaste. Too many other waters taste like chemically treated sewer water. Not that I ever drank chemically treated sewer water, but I’d rather present thoughts with impact that aren’t watered down.
Your label says, “Did you know your brain is about 75% water?” Actually, I didn’t know. And now that I do, it freaks me out! I’ve heard about people who have water on the brain. They’re a few gallons short of a full water cooler. So how can I reduce the water capacity of my brain from 75% to 20%? I’d rather have more brain power than dilute it with water. Maybe if my brain consisted of less water I wouldn’t think of having to pee so often either. Please advise.
Hydrate the rest of me and leave my brain alone!
A Consumer Response Representative from Zephyrhills Spring Water Company responded with:
Thank you for taking the time to contact Zephyrhills® Brand Natural Spring Water regarding reducing the water capacity of your brain. We welcome questions and comments from loyal consumers and appreciate this opportunity to assist you.
We ask that you please contact your medical care provider, as we are not medical professionals trained to respond to this type of inquiry. We do apologize for any inconvenience.
At Zephyrhills® Brand Natural Spring Water, we are committed to providing you with products that live up to your high standards for taste, quality, nutrition and enjoyment. Your feedback is valuable to us, as it helps us to improve our products and services.
Should you have any additional questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us at (phone number and hours of operation followed).
Final Thoughts: You have to admire a company that admits they don’t know the answer to something. Although, if the brain is about 75% water, you’d think water experts might know more about why it’s being sucked up by a vital organ like a sponge.
These days, millions of obsessed people carry bottled water around like standard accessories such as a purse, wallet or Valium. They have bottled water on the brain, which may explain why so many find themselves feeling drained after just a few minutes without drinking. With intelligence levels at an all-time low, is human thinking being diluted by water? Is it time to consult medical professionals for answers as Zephyrhills suggests?
Here’s where you can learn more about Zephyrhills Spring Water. However, when you find your brain is swimming with questions about a product or its packaging, get your thoughts together and Write The Company.

You THINK you’ve never drunk chemically treated sewer water! You’d be amazed at what they can do at those treatment facilities…I know. I took my class on a science field trip once. Absolutely amazing. From waste to water in exactly that order.

Thanks for pointing that out. Now I’ll need to schedule an IV to get some liquids in my body.
