Not to rain on his parade or anything, but didn't he really just invent putting water into a cardboard milk carton?

Ahh yes, but that's got to be worth what, 30, maybe 40 patents at the good 'ol USPTO?

I remember getting Vittel water in cartons like this in Germany in the late 80's. I do think he might be a little late to the party. His carton actually looks a lot like the Tropicana orange juice cartons in stores now.
