How much would you spend on a bottle of water? Would plain H2O taste any different when served from a glass, crystal-encrusted bottle?
Bling H20 is a new upscale beverage that costs over $50 a pop. Billed the "Cristal of Waters," the Swarovski crystal-adorned bottle is served to executives and movie stars all over the country. NPR took a bottle from a Westchester, NY "water bar" back to Manhattan and gave New Yorkers an informal taste test to see if they could tell the difference between Bling and regular municipal tap water.
