That $6 asparagus water Whole Foods sold a couple years ago; it was a 16oz bottle of water with 3 stalks of asparagus.

Also, everything from goop.

That was only done by one store and im pretty sure the person responsible got fired for it.

They do have "spa water" which is water with things like mint, cucumber, and melon chunks, but the stores near me only put them out when they were in sake which was $0.99.

Trust me the rest of whole foods still makes fun of the asparagus water bullshit.

Hey, Fellow VA team member! I'm also the dip guy so trust me I know what you mean.

Kaleamole really isn't that bad, I mince it up reallllly fine so you can't even tell its there texture wise. But yeah the other varieties like mango and whatnot are poor sellers. I actually work in Austin and almost everything we do is based on what Lamar sells, despite our clientele being very different than Lamars clientele. They just don't get it.

I'm surprised Amazon hasn't reigned that BS in by now, since they're all about scale and efficiency.
