*promote the dangers of too-pure water!

His idea is still a good one, making ultra pure ice cubes (or spheres) for perfect cocktails. You wouldn't be drinking enough pure water to worry about, and it would mix with the alcohol before you drink it anyway, so it would not be pure H2O anymore. The lack of taste and impurities would allow it to cool and dilute your drink without changing it's taste, exactly what you want in a cocktail ice cube. Even better that, if used without alcohol (or something impure), they're technically poison! Call them 'death cubes' or 'virgin ice' and you'll have trouble keeping up with demand!
Oh....wait....isn't that already a product?

I want to punch this man in the dick.

He's about a 7 out of 10 on the obnoxious scale

If you just want to cool a drink without diluting it or changing the flavour, you want whiskey stones.

You should never put ice in good whiskey. The cold traps actually "closes the nose" (i.e. you can't smell it as well). Conversely, a drop or two of water in whiskey "opens the nose" (improves the aroma).

Once upon a time, National Geographic was serious, educational, and interesting. Now they find the need to be all "EXTREME" with people like this guy pandering to the audience, because clearly the general public is too stupid and has too short an attention span to actually listen to the stuff.

And yet, somehow we can tolerate David Attenborough's completely dry and boringly British delivery.

[EDIT]Oh, and remember the old theme song? Now THAT was a theme song!

Maybe they should get the water scientist to host the show. She's more entertaining.

whiskey stones don't involve a phase change and are not nearly as effective as ice at cooling. Ice slightly dilutes the drink which is often desirable as dilution can actually free some of the aromatics which are dissolved in the alcohol. i.e giving a better nose. It's all a matter of preference.
How about drinking pure heavy water (D2O)

He was trying for 8.5

So how is this different from distilled water?

...by a factor of about 4-6 or more additional water-tweaking processes (electrodialysis, reverse-osmosis, carbon filtration, etc). They probably start the process with some insane, lab-monkey distillation...Betcha this stuff is great for washing-out wounds, eh?? Be nice to have a bottle or two for the bug-out bag...

How is this video is in the top 15 is the real mystery (congrats, esoog)
