The Product

L’Desh Fresh touts itself as a unique alternative to traditional high-end bottled waters. L’Desh Fresh's main flavor enhancements include arsenic, mud, urine and microscopic parasites.[2] These product attributes playfully call attention to harmful substances found in contaminated water from underdeveloped areas of the world.

The specific origin of L’Desh Fresh's water source is never revealed. Some argue that this is a moot point because contaminated drinking water can be found in almost any developing country.[3]

Internet

There is a product Web site for L’Desh Fresh[4] explaining the company's fake philosophies and approaches to bottling water. After spending a few minutes reading through the site, it becomes obvious that L’Desh Fresh is a spoofed product attempting to shed light upon world issues.
