In the first Charlie and Chocolate Factory, the chocolate river was real, but it soon spoiled into a rotting sludge strewn with other trash.

2. Water

For making up 70% of the Earth’s surface and being crucial to all life on Earth, water’s kind of the GOAT. But it's nothing compared to...

1. Dasani Water

With new, Dasani brand swimming pool water, you can have it all! It has all the purified, refined taste of sodium chloride, the thrill of paying for overpriced water, and best of all, supporting the Coca-Cola company. Forget about an Aquafina brand swimming pool, we have Dasani at home.
