Water from all oceans

 Selling water from all five oceans in little bottles

Travel around the world, collect water from all oceans and then sell it in little bottles as ornament. I can easily picture myself an obsessive collectionist wanting to buy 5 little bottles each one with water from each ocean so he could have a great conversation starter and impress his date. Just don't get the water out of the faucet.

       "Just don't get the water out of the faucet."
Why not? The water from my tap probably came from all oceans (ever) at some point or another.

       Wasn't this baked in Adam Sandler's "Waterboy"? He collected water from everywhere. The special water to him was melted iceberg or something.   

       He put them into little perfume looking bottles.

       They're all connected, so there's only one ocean. the rest of it is just a human construct.

       Urine of famous people. I'll bet no one has done that. Or the urine of everyone in a country, all mixed up. Collected at every sewage treatment facility, filtered and clarified. This could become America's final export before it becomes a pure consumer, manufacturing nothing. The American Essence, four ounces in a red, white, and blue bottle.

       With a label that reads "Hecho en Mexico".

       [ldischler], yes they have and not just urine.   

       I saw a link a while ago for sealed vials containing hair, urine and faeces of famous people. Takes all sorts.   

       I like the idea, I imagine it as small old fashioned bottles in a nice rack with brass labels. In a museum in Sydney I saw a range of photos of seas and oceans all taken in the same format of overcast sky, water and no land in sight. You simply had to assume that the oceans where the right ones but it was quite interesting to see them side by side.

       I guess there would be the thrill of finding that all seawater is between 3.0 and 3.8% salt. Ho-hum.
