It's not impossible to imagine an established brand being successful with better packaging and marketing. But it's clearly just Joe from the produce department filling bottles with water and asparagus, haphazardly slapping a generic sticker on it, and calling it a day. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the lone initiative of a creative store manager who wasn't thinking too much or hard about it. I've seen equally egregious products at Starbucks.

Oh this is even better! You're telling me the asparagus water is hand-made? And Made in America? Bump that price to $10, this shit is gold! And fire Joe and replace him with Jane and then we can charge $15.
