September 18th, 2008 0 min read By [David Meerman Scott](https://www.davidmeermanscott.com/blog/author/david-meerman-scott) ![](https://www.davidmeermanscott.com/hs-fs/file-1081643755-jpg/blog-files/llwatlog_2.jpg?width=100&height=19&name=llwatlog_2.jpg) I enjoyed a terrific "urban, contemporary, creative French" meal last night at [Restaurant Garcon](http://www.restaurantgarcon.com/welcome_eng.html) in Montreal. As usual, I just can't help looking: product labels, menu font choices, meal descriptions, restaurant design, wait staff clothing. Always a marketer, right?

It comes from our sources beneath certified organic fields in west Wales in the UK.” OK, I get that sometimes you just have to jump on the latest thing. In food, organic is popular now. **But water?** [![Llwater](https://www.davidmeermanscott.com/hs-fs/file-1081643770-jpg/blog-files/llwater.jpg?width=250&height=272&name=llwater.jpg "Llwater")](http://freshspot.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/09/18/llwater.jpg) [ David Meerman Scott ](https://www.davidmeermanscott.com/blog/author/david-meerman-scott) David Meerman Scott is a business growth strategist, advisor to clever entrepreneurs who are building emerging companies, and the international bestselling author of a dozen books published in 30 languages.
