1. What is it packaged in?

How do you transport it or store it?

2. I think they mentioned seaweed.

3. That's the outer shell but you have to put them in something

to transport them. I can't figure out what they use and google isn't helping.

4. One of those things I will have to experience drunk.

In fact, it will probably be a bigger seller if they can turn it into shots!

6. The outer shell is the same as the inner one and can be discarded

Yuka Yoneda from Inhabitat gives a demonstration of how to do just that using a process called spherification, which creates a liquid with a soft membrane that you can eat. The process combines drinking water with sodium alginate, which comes from brown seaweed. After those two are combined, spoonfuls are put into a bath of calcium lactate, which is a salt that can be found in many items like baking powder, antacids, and cheese. Inside the bath, a gelatinous membrane begins to form, though the water stays liquid in the middle. The result is a refreshing drink of water that doesn’t require a separate vessel like a bottle or a cup.

The outer layer of the package is always meant to be peeled like fruit–one thin outer layer of the membrane peels away to keep the inner layer clean and can then be composted.

7. I bring a big old bottle everywhere with me...and I drink it..LOL

Those bubbles would get squished in my purse or backpack or whatever I'm trying to tote it in. And it looks like each little bubble is about the size of an ice cube, so I would need at least 16 for the size of a small bottle of water.

I reuse my water bottles until they are practically falling apart, then I recycle them.
