Drinking water from a flask. The IUPAC structural name for water is "oxidane", oxid- because it's an oxygen compound and -ane because it has hydrogen in all 2 of the normal places. But nobody really calls it that, so i have had this idea for a long time to use some of the spurious techniques people use to promote supplements, but using them to promote "Oxidane: the world's original and best sports drink". And have a series of joke "ads" that each hype a different aspect of it: That NASA gives it to astronauts, or that Hippocrates recommended it in ancient greece, or Russian Olympic athletes drink it, It's been popular in Europe for years, Moses gave it to the Israelites when they were in the desert, maybe some lab test where cells given oxidane lived longer than ones that didn't get any. All the old tired tropes people use to promote fad supplements, and it will all be true, but it will just be water. . . . . #water #hippocrates #nasa #russianolympicteam #oxidane
