Spotted on the chemical storage shelf in an adjacent laboratory. Now where did I put the MSDS?

I sent them an email and this was their response:

'Thank you for your email regarding our Dehydrated Water. It is a patented product and we began "manufacturing" it in the 1960's when space flights began. I am not sure if it qualifies as a collectable item but we do receive emails such as yours from time to time. If you would like to purchase more, please call our Customer Service Department at 800-323-3663.

Old but syill amusing...

David Reeves says:

Well given the renewed interest in this, I just went next door and took another look. The can does not have an expiry date, and members of the lab reckon that it may well have been there several decades...
Posted 26 months ago. ( permalink )

David Reeves says:

Here is a typical MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for water, which presumably would apply to this product too.

My favourite part:
"Emergency/First Aid Proc: EYES: FLUSH WITH POTABLE WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEE MD (FP N). SKIN: FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. SEE MD "

Hi David, I just added your picture to my recipe for home canning dehydrated water (in French only, sorry !). It's a home canning blog with this "april fool" joke running since a while now. This page is linked from many recipes using "eau mouillée" (wet water) in the list of ingredients.

Your picture is the perfect addition to it.

Thanks for sharing !

I thought that was funny since I hear Bugs are water cooled!
