Dehydrated Water

It is pretty obvious that the website about dehydrated water is a hoax. We were at first pretty sceptic about the concept presented by the website. The more you read, the more you realise that the site is in fact what you would call a hoax. First of all, it is impossible to find the name of the author, nor any street address. We can’t really find any sponsor that is qualified to write about water quality, which makes the concept of dehydrating the water even more absurd. Since we don’t know who is actually responsible for that website, we cannot say that it is a reliable source of information. During our quick visit, we were unable to notice any obvious spelling mistakes or grammatical errors in English. The website is well designed, and someone conducting a real research about dehydrated water would be able to find the information he is looking for fairly easily, even if it is a scam. All the links are functional, and there is even a store section that is verified by PayPal, which is a recognised association in charge of providing secure on-line buying services. To conclude, this site is obviously a well done hoax site, because the concept of dehydrated water is by itself impossible. However, the information is well presented and the intent of the website seems to be a joke, but the store section might be the author’s way to make a small profit out of a good laugh.
