Talk:S.Pellegrino

Uranium content and editing Info Box

The uranium content of San Pellegrino seems higher than any other major brand available in the US (e.g., Apollinaris, Evian, Perrier). This should be included in the info box, which seems to be uneditable. Why? Also note that uranium content is in micrograms, and that the milligrams content in the info box isn't present. Again, why?

Dstlascaux (talk) 04:52, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Uranium content is not noted because Nestle has ran around the world and bought every spring. Then Nestle in every country these springs are located at, has past laws to make ownership of private springs impossible, corpate springs impossible and any free springs become parks unable to ever become commeral. Next Nestle has gone so far as to shut down spring wells. Seattle is a good excample of this... there is only one left in the total city. They Screw the Union workers saying there some form of compitition but they own every major brand. Nestle knows their water has gamma radiation in it. They just wont tell you about it. Try to take it to court, it only cost a small fee to file a suet. Just have sample after sample. All you have to do is wave around Uranium and the jury will panic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.30.134.216 (talk) 02:12, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Trace Minerals

Trace minerals are getting more and more attention for their health benefits. Is there any data on the trace minerals present in San Peligrino water? These would be lower than the 100 microgram level covered in the article.

Is it Chlorinated by Man or is the Chlorine mentioned naturally Occuring?

Chlorinated is layman for sticking bleach salts into a water body... water is not bleached. Chlorine the element is a gas and deadly...so no there is no chlorine gas.

What they mean by chlorine as a mineral is salts in the water per volume. Salts are anything the Chlorine can bond with, which is almost anything that the Cl- can connect with. HCl is a type of acid as well.

However in this case they mean this pH 7.7

Calcium (Ca) 181.0 Chloride (Cl−) 57.5 + Sodium (Na) 36.1 = NaCl 36.1 of table salts

Bicarbonate (HCO3) 239.0 Fluoride (Fl) 0.5 Lithium (Li) 0.2 + Cl LiCl = 0.2

Magnesium (Mg) 53.5 Nitrate (NO3) 2.2 Potassium (K) 2.5 + KCl = 2.5 Silica (SiO2) 7.5 Sodium (Na) 36.1 Strontium (Sr2) 3.2 Sulfates (SO) 459.0

So on and so forth but not all combine so nicely. The Cl- is the key.

If you noticed the Sulfates... well normal SO is very rare in nature besides at Key locations... at those locating you also get Uranium sulfate (U(SO4)2) is a water soluble salt of uranium. It is a very toxic compound and should not be ingested.

Yes that is right this water is freaking Radioactive! OMG! Maybe from th strontium as well — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.30.134.216 (talk) 02:30, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Natural Carbonation?

Doesn't it say on the label (I don't have one in front of me) that [unlike Perrier] it is not naturally carbonated? (This applies to the larger bottles sold in the US.) Gront 04:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci was long since dead by 1899. 212.29.136.29

My error

--where it says da vinci later wrote a treatise on the subject... it sounds like they mean to say that he wrote a treatise on the subject of san pellegrino miracle water, rather than his writings about the physics of water. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.94.120.100 (talk) 04:57, August 21, 2007 (UTC)

Statistics

Statistics need to be cited. Also, there should be a longer list of celebrities, or the section should be removed altogether. -Breathstealer 09:08, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Cost

San Pellegrino is not cheap but this cannot be correct: "Currently, (2005), a bottle of San Pellegrino is sold for around $10 in New York.". I used to buy a carton of twelve 1 litre bottles for about $22 in Australia. --Sleepyhead 08:58, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi, $22 AUD in GBP is about £9. $10 for one bottle sold in New York is equal to about $13 AUD. Judging by what you are saying, $22 ÷ 12 [bottles] is equal to $2 AUD per bottle. Hence, $2 AUD into United States Dollar is equal to about $2 (USD). Which seems you are correct. But according to the following website:---Requires FLASH--- It claims otherwise! To get proof; click the "history" tab next to "Geological Origin". Then keep clicking right till the end of the time line until you get to 2003. Here it explains that it costs $10 and 65'000 are sold everyday. Thanks, 17:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

That's 10 dollars at a restaurant. I haven't been to New York but I would assume a trendy restaurant would charge a hefty premium price on everything including San Pellegrino. --Sleepyhead 07:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

And which is also stated in the Wikipedia article :) I thought it was meant to be the retail price. Never mind then. --Sleepyhead 07:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

As for Cost, a typical 750ml bottle (typical wine size bottle) sells for $1.79 (USD) at BevMo (Beverages and More)on the west coast. High end restaurants typically have a 150% - 300% mark-up or more.

I've seen it at Trader Joe's for $1.50. Just as cheap as Europe. 128.226.220.125 06:18, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

In Canada it goes from about $1.99 in regular grocery stores to about $1.45 in discount grocery stores. Not what I'd call expensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.51.125.161 (talk) 00:47, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

BS... One bottle is ($1.50 to $2.79) in the US as of (2011) You use to could buy it about (0.75 to 1.00) before Obama failed America — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.30.134.216 (talk) 02:35, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Requested Image

I have added the image request tag. I feel it is a bit "bland" so I would thank anyone who has one. Thanks, very, very much. 13:33, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I've taken a photo of a bottle and added it to the article. AJR 01:06, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Clean-up

I have cleaned up the article, but I don't know where San Pellegrino is shipped to. I put the continents where I definitely know they are shipped to. But the time line says it is posted to Africa, Middle East and the Far East. I do not know if they continue to ship it there - add in the continents Africa, Middle East and the Far East if this is still. Thanks, 11:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Varieties

I added some varieties (Aranciata, Limonata and Chino), if anyone knows of any others that would be great - this is all I know of so far - AKeen 08:18, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I've added Sanbittèr, a nonalcoholic bitters aperitif. Jstdafacts 02:51, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Copyedit

Please get someone whos english is at a good level to copyedit this - I've noticed several gramatical errors (particuary in the tense of the verbs) and I know that if I can see some, there is bound to be more... WegianWarrior 09:41, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Wow. Someone at Pellegrino should just use this entire entry as an ad for their product. Pure flavor? That's pretty kind to something that tastes like someone took a piss in a club soda. Now I'm not saying that my opinion ('piss club soda') should be added in as counter-balance, but ludicrous statements about the purity of its taste belong in an ad campaign, not an encyclopedic entry. 204.69.40.7 18:08, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You are too big of a retard to understand the finer things in life. Chill the water in a frig then drink it from a glass. You can also fill the glass full of ice and drink it but not shake or agitate the water. Loss of the gas will happen and it takes away from the flavor.

You might have pure well water to drink. Most people on the earth do not have that anymore. Something in this spring water, some trace mineral is needed by many people that live in Citys. I could be the sulfur, it could be an isotope, whatever it is we crave the crap even though it's cost. They make 6 billion a year on this water. I do not drink it to show off. I get sick and weak if i do not. I've tried for years to figure out another source of these trace minerals and the only thing that comes close is this... Liqumins Concentrace Trace Mineral drops. However, it taste like shit.

Remove sentences?

I don't understand the part that begins with "The surrounding area is highly favorable for the formation...". Someone who knows more about geology might be better suited to rewriting that. Or we could just remove it. Ksero 20:33, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Why does their official website have no contact information or information about the location of their headquarters? Badagnani (talk) 04:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Alkaline? Really?

How is it possible that sparkling water is alkaline at pH 7.7? Isn't it carbonic *acid* that makes sparkling water sparkly? Has someone tested their pH claim? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.82.182 (talk) 21:51, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

White plastic collar

What is the function for the white plastic collar immediately below the metal cap of the 750 ml glass bottle sold in the United States? Why does it have three circular "wings?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.150.169.180 (talk) 03:37, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

In Italy we drink only bottled water for no reason, and sometimes we buy glass instead of plastic bottles. The plastic under the cap makes it easier to open the bottle for the first time. Then you usually remove it, otherwise you'll have difficulty trying to close it again. --Simo94 / ^discuss 20:33, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
