This is only funny to us because we speak English. This is a Japanese product which is a water base that also contains other ingredients to aid in weight loss. Thus it is water, for dieting. Diet Water. It’s more Engrish than anything.
Tesco in England have actually started selling this same stuff, they called it ’slimming water’ or something similar. Sure it contains L-Cartinine and a couple of others but they aren’t anywhere near as effective as they claim it to be with the name of the product. Infact the slightly boosted metabolism won’t make a difference after you take into account the calories from the amino acid.
This is no worse than Vitamin Water and all the other stupid drinks they make you think will help you lose weight, but in reality are so loaded with sugar you have to work out for 90 minutes to burn the calories off.
Vitamin water does not help weightloss. It helps you obtain the vitamins you need. By drinking different flavors, you get the different vitamins you may lack. No where does it promise to aid in weightloss.
Diet water? How can water possibly be “diet”? Unless it contains plat fibre or soemthing to bulk you up.
If you like diet water, I have designs for a zero-pint engine I’ll sell you. Only cost you a few million, but you could make billions!!!!!!1111!1!!!one one one
That means nothing,man,stop with Babelfish that’s ridiculous

It’s good to know that Americans know their history…
I don’t know if you remember those little tidbits about us winning our revolution because of France OR the basis for American democracy coming from France.
I do not know ’str8outdatrailer’ but I don’t assume any level of intelligence or general knoledge from strangers on the internet. Especially from Americans. (Sorry – but tis true)
Calm down, he is kidding. If you dont realize that then something is seriously wrong.
Now for another thing. I am American, and I am willing to bet that not only am I smarter than you, I am also in better shape(the other American stereotype.

UNLESS- we’re assuming they are saying that the water itself is Diet. PERHAPS- it’s like Vitamin Water or something, and it has extra stuff added in order to assist you in dieting.
I went to their site – in fact, it does have a lot of “diet” ingredients, like magnesium chloride and vitamin B6, supposed to help you have energy and lose weight. It’s not the only brand of Diet Water, either!
Anyway, this isn’t even a fail. Bottled & rain water never contains only H2O and some elements can contribute to a diet. The only pure water you can find is from labs and for very specific purposes. Failblog education fail.
the “Stacker” company has a ‘diet water’ that is caffinated and has various minerals. I recall the packaging says that drinking it helps you lose weight through a “thermogenic” effect.
I never bothered to look it up, but to me that makes it sound like they’re suggesting drinking cold water will make you lose weight because your body has to burn calories to heat it up.
Distilled and Deionized water is the stuff that is ALMOST pure, technically you pretty much have to order HPLC grade water from sigmaaldrich.com if you want -PURE- water. Doesn’t matter, pure water tastes stale anyways.
it all seems the same here in australia, but there isnt much choice here.
but then again, most of the nerves in my tongue are dead so i cant taste much.
yes, because i’m a massive marketing whore.
Nope. Mineral water or spring water comes straight from underground resevoirs. And it tastes alot better. But just ‘bottled’ water could be from the tap, and that IS pointless.
Its not actually a consumer fail, such things exist in England, along with detox water etc – they add some appetite suppressant chemicals which supposedly cuts out the need to snack
I am…really, really impressed with you guys. We made it 65 comments without someone yelling photoshopped. Which is handy because this one is not. Read about it about a week ago on a top 10 list of weird Japanese products.

I don’t see how this is a fail. Sapporo could be adding vitamins and supplements to their water that could help catalyze a higher metabolism or help people lose weight or break down fat, such as caffeine or vitamin C. This water may not be any different from so-called vitamin water and the like. This is a FAIL fail.
err… i’m not even sure why this picture is still here, since it obviously isn’t a “FAILURE” except maybe in that the name sounds weird to SOME native speakers. i totally understood the picture and had to look at the comments to see if i might not have gotten what about it was the failure… obviously, the people who thought it was a failure and kept arguing abou it deserve a “FAIL” stamp on their foreheads…
This water actually do help you with your diet, in fact any water will help. Anything that is colder than your body temperature will have to be heated up to your body temperature inside you body. Since water has no calories, cold water is negative calories which is going to help with diets, but then the effects are minimal compared to other form of diet.
I wonder how many people bought that one instead of the “regular” water just because it had the word “diet” on it. Who’s the more fail, the people who thought of the packaging gimmick or the people who fell for it and bought it?

I don’t know if you remember those little tidbits about us winning our revolution because of France OR the basis for American democracy coming from France.
But then again, you attended an American school.
Gullibility fail? Naiveté fail? Didn’t the part about “only real language is american” tip you off? Or do you seriously think str8outdatrailer believes there is an “american” language. “what?”, you need a sense of humor transplant. I feel I shouldn’t have even responded to “what?” because his/her reply speaks for itself as a clunker.
of course there’s a bleeding american language … they call it English … but it’s very different from real English spoken by English people
I do not know ’str8outdatrailer’ but I don’t assume any level of intelligence or general knoledge from strangers on the internet. Especially from Americans. (Sorry – but tis true)
Calm down, he is kidding. If you dont realize that then something is seriously wrong.
Now for another thing. I am American, and I am willing to bet that not only am I smarter than you, I am also in better shape(the other American stereotype.
well your obviously not that smart as you opened bracket but didn’t close it

not with 10 000 lols could you do this
since it’s a Japanese product … Japan’s congress is called the Diet. Maybe it’s water that’s endorsed by some hunky senator. or something.
UNLESS- we’re assuming they are saying that the water itself is Diet. PERHAPS- it’s like Vitamin Water or something, and it has extra stuff added in order to assist you in dieting.
Don’t always assume someone is stupid.
I went to their site – in fact, it does have a lot of “diet” ingredients, like magnesium chloride and vitamin B6, supposed to help you have energy and lose weight. It’s not the only brand of Diet Water, either!
I will. You’re stupid.

yeh that was my first thought, too

Anyway, this isn’t even a fail. Bottled & rain water never contains only H2O and some elements can contribute to a diet. The only pure water you can find is from labs and for very specific purposes. Failblog education fail.
yeah but the other things what are in water anyway are meant to be good for you anyway so taking them out dosn’t make it better

WTF yo. who the hell thought that up, an idiot? there is nothing in water but oxygen and hydrogen.
The only bottled water that’s even close to being just oxygen and hydrogen is distilled water. All other water is full of junk.
Distilled and Deionized water is the stuff that is ALMOST pure, technically you pretty much have to order HPLC grade water from sigmaaldrich.com if you want -PURE- water. Doesn’t matter, pure water tastes stale anyways.
Nerd fail
I think that was a complete nerd success actually…
Maybe a give-a-shit fail….
Agreed.
Here’s a hint to the people who think that bottled water differs from brand to brand.
It’s all from the tap.
Oh, except for if it’s rain water.
EVIAN makes NAIVE if you spell it backwards…
Get a tongue. Water _tastes_ different, at least in Europe.
Fail for being a marketing cow. (see the anti-bottled water propaganda)
it all seems the same here in australia, but there isnt much choice here.
but then again, most of the nerves in my tongue are dead so i cant taste much.
yes, because i’m a massive marketing whore.
understood everything in that last sentence except “massive marketing”
must just be how aussies speak.
i have strong roots in marketing
I understand that when you drink a bottle of water in Australlia the water swirls the opposite direction that it does here in the United States.
CHRISTINE FAIL, CAPITALISM WIN.
water tastes different depending where you are because there are different minerals in it
Nope. Mineral water or spring water comes straight from underground resevoirs. And it tastes alot better. But just ‘bottled’ water could be from the tap, and that IS pointless.
Fail blog fail.
This kind of package text is typical for japanese products, nothing special about that.
1st: Japanese products fail!
2nd: Japanese consumer fail!
True. Japanese English doesn’t necesarily have the same meaning (and definitely not the same pronounciation).
P.T. Barnum would be proud.
How much NORMAL water a Sumo drinks per day?
one millionth the calories, same great taste.
Diet water…
That why we use to say that american people are stupid…
“use to”, it’s “used to”, and this product is anything but American.
Yup. That looks like something that would appear in a large American chain grocery store to me!
well.. maybe its natrium-por water… thats dieet to
die et?
is that what the army guys thought, when they hunted ET?
I think it is an imperative command for the word “Diet,” and then more of a presentation declarative exuberance for “Water”
Its not actually a consumer fail, such things exist in England, along with detox water etc – they add some appetite suppressant chemicals which supposedly cuts out the need to snack
Failblog fail
So… after I drank that water, I don’t feel the need to have a diet chocolate bar?

You are all on the wrong track. In Japan, the Diet is their bicameral legislative house, so this is like “Congress Water”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_of_Japan
LAST, hahaha
It’s just classic Japanese English. (actually Engrish)
http://www.engrish.com
The concept reminds me of a Steven Wright joke …
“The other day I bought some powdered water at the grocery store. But now I don’t know what to add to it.”
you add heat.
So it’s my tap water that’s been making me fat all this time!
Tell it sister.
I saw something called ‘Skinny Water’ sold in Tescos today, £1 for a little bottle. That’s Tescos for you.
bottled water is FAIL, unless used or needed for emergencies. ‘diet’ water is FAIL squared. most* bottled water is from tap. bottled water generally costs more than gasoline.

Marketing Genius!
If you’re not going to be a part of the solution, there is good money to be made in prolonging the problem.
Dieters will buy anything.
Maybe the bottle refers to this Diet.
This water contains several appetite suppressants in it so that you wont want to eat much after. The appetite suppressants are the same as those found in any of those meal replacement shakes in the US.
Urgh.. Horizontal stripes make you look fat -> that’s not diet at all…
I don’t see how this is a fail. Sapporo could be adding vitamins and supplements to their water that could help catalyze a higher metabolism or help people lose weight or break down fat, such as caffeine or vitamin C. This water may not be any different from so-called vitamin water and the like. This is a FAIL fail.
Ahaha, I just saw what Kuyar said. So… I was right.
water = diet for anorexics
so
diet water = diet(diet for anorexics)
Seeing that picture as a fail is a fail in itself. :/
Photoshopped!
No, just kidding! XD
Anyway, I bet they put Diet in just to boost sales, because there’s people out there who only buy “Diet” foods.
Most people should be smart enough to know that water is about as “Diet” as it gets.
Bottled water = Environmental FAIL. No reason for anyone to buy a second bottle of water, , just keep refilling the first bottle.
Economic win
Except in those schools with contaminated water. Contaminated water = Toxic Avenger Win!

I would be tempted to buy this just so I could say I have purchased diet water. Too humorous to pass up.

Probably costs more too.
Actually this fail is a fail, this water is actually diet :S I read it in the news that this has less calories or something. ^^
