Presidential Bottled Water: H-2-Obama

There is some noteworthy bottled water activity happening in Portland, Maine courtesy of Mount Desert Spring Water.  In an effort to stimulate sales, the bulk bottled water company has now created an individual size bottle of private label H-2-Obama water with, you guessed it, our President's image on the label. 

What is particularly interesting in this story, besides the WCSH6 newscaster's pronunciation of the word desert, is that Mount Desert's owner, Rick Evangelista, thinks that individual bottles will up his total sales.  More than likely though, this is innacurate. As we have been covering here at TapIt, sales are down down for individually bottled water for environmental and economic reasons.

Also interesting in this story, are the reader's responses to the piece.  It looks like some Mainers are 1) proud of their delicious spring water and 2) not yet completely digging our President's policies.
