https://globalnews.ca/news/4279607/vancouver-festivalgoers-invited-to-enjoy-a-cool-glass-of-hot-dog-water/Thousands of people packed Vancouver’s Main Street on Sunday to take in the annual Car Free Day festival.
And among the food vendors, merchant stands and music was one stall that stood out, inviting the public to enjoy a chilled, refreshing, healthful glass of Hot Dog Water.
Yes, that’s right. Hot Dog Water.
“We’ve created a recipe, having a lot of people put a lot of effort into research and a lot of people with backgrounds in science really creating the best version of Hot Dog Water that we could,” self-styled Hot Dog Water CEO Douglas Bevans told Global News.
The drink’s impressive marketing advertises it as gluten-free, Keto diet-compatible, rich in sodium and a source of electrolytes.
It also promises to help the drinker lose weight, increase brain function and look younger.
“There’s a fair bit of it that is too science-y for me, but from what I understand from the specialists here working on it, it’s this idea of like-likes-like,” Bevan quipped.
“So the protein of the Hot Dog Water helps your body uptake the water content, and the sodium and all the things you’d need post-workout.”
A bottle of Hot Dog water would set the adventurous water fan back $37.99, while a “Father’s Day special” will get you the bargain price of $75 for two. Hot Dog Water lip balm, breath spray and body fragrance were also for sale.

Having listened with due attention to the instruc-
tions of my host, I walked over to the store, where
the storekeeper expressed his readiness to show me
the mummies. Accordingly he led the way to a small
house, the residence of the prophet's mother. On
entering the dwelling, I was introduced to this emi-
nent personage as a traveller from England, desirous
of seeing the wonders of Nauvoo. She welcomed
me to the holy city, and told me that here I might
see what great things the Lord had done for his
people. " I am old," she said, " and I shall soon
stand before the judgment-seat of Christ ; but what
I say to you now, I would say on my death-bed. My
son Joseph has had revelations from God since he
was a boy, and he is indeed a true prophet of Jeho-
vah. The angel of the Lord appeared to him fifteen
years since, and shewed him the cave where the
original golden plates of the book of Mormon were
deposited. He shewed him also the Urim and
Thummim, by which he might understand the
meaning of the inscriptions on the plates, and he
shewed him the golden breastplate of the high
priesthood. My son received these precious gifts,
he interpreted the holy record, and now the believers
in that revelation are more than a hundred tliousand
in number. I have myself seen and handled the
golden plates ; they are about eight inches long, and
six wide ; some of them are sealed together and are
not to be opened, and some of them are loose. They
are all connected by a ring which passes through a
hole at the end of each plate, and are covered with
letters beautifully engraved. I have seen and felt
also the Urim and Thummim. They resemble two
large bright diamonds set in a bow like a pair of spec-
tacles. My son puts these over his eyes when he reads
unknown languages, and they enable him to inter-
pret them in English. I have likewise carried in my
hands the sacred breastplate. It is composed of pure
gold, and is made to fit the breast very exactly."
While the old woman was thus delivering herself,
I fixed my eyes steadily upon her. She faltered,
and seemed unwilling to meet my glance ; but
gradually recovered her self-possession. The melan-
choly thought entered my mind, that this poor old
creature was not simply a dupe of her son's knavery ;
but that she had taken an active part in the decep-
tion. Several English and American women were
in the room, and seemed to treat her with profound
veneration.
I produced my wonderful book. The old woman
scrutinized its pages, and in an oracular manner
assured me that the Lord was now bringing to light
the hidden things of darkness according to his word ;
that my manuscript was doubtless a revelation which
had long been hidden, and which was now to be
made known to the world, by means of her son the
prophet Joseph. She then directed me up a steep
flight of stairs into a chamber, and slowly crept up
after me. She showed me a wretched cabinet, in
which were four naked mummies frightfully disfi-
gured, and in fact, most disgusting relics of morta-
lity. One she said was a king of Egypt whom she
named, two were his wives, and the remaining one
was the daughter of another king. T asked her by
what means she became acquainted with the names
and histories of these mummies. She replied, that
her son had obtained this knowledge through the
mighty power of God. She accounted for the dis-
figured condition of the mummies, by a circumstance
rather illustrative of the back-woods. Soine diffi-
culty having been found in unrolling the papyrus
which enveloped them, an axe was applied, by which
the unfortunate mummies were literally chopped open.
I requested her to furnish me with a " Book of Mor-
mon." She accordingly permitted me to take one of
the first edition belonging to her daughter Lavinia,
for which I paid the young lady a dollar.
