Factoid: BLK water

BLK water

This is blk. water, black spring water imported from Canada. It’s black because it's infused with fulvic acid, a naturally occuring substance found in pre-historic plant matter such as peat and coal.
Blk. contains natural electrolytes and 77 trace minerals that regenerate your body's  cells faster than regular water while proving a large infusion of antioxidants.

Evidently, blk. is the next Perrier.
