the other thing that is really amusing to me is that whole Essential Water (TM) thing. First of all, isn't water, by our very nature and design, Essential by default? Secondly, when I investigate, 'essential water' is water infused with Rosemary and Sage essential oil. Hello? You can't copyright fragrances or essential oil formulations because it's like copyrighting a recipe. You can't copyright things that are nothing more than a re-combination of ordinary items. You can only trademark the name, that's why perfumers can make legal knock-offs of scents. But to take water that has a couple drops of essential oil in it and trademark it is just stupid. That's like trying to trademark Lemonade (TM). Meh.
