    That's a lot of snow - but you're in Canada so you probably have an endless supply!



    Evidently it takes takes about 10 cups of snow to equal 1 cup of water.

    80 cups of snow.. that's manageable... I wonder if my boss will allow me to bring in a portable freezer for my desk.

    I also live in Canada, and have a backyard full of snow. Some of it is yellow from my neighbour's dog.
    I was thinking we should get in business together. Snow is really an untapped natural resource. It's basically everywhere in Canada so i think we should package it and sell it as an alternative to drinking water.
    We need a catchy name, like WhiteSlim, 0 calories. And a slogan, i am thinking: Eat Whiteslim, be a special snowflake!

    My agent will be contacting you shortly.

    What about the brown spots from your dog... Whiteslim Fibre Bars?

    I follow a water conservation blog (I kinda get into that type stuff) and they have a system that collects rain water and filters it so it can be used for drinking water.

    :drinker:

    You're eating it, not drinking it, so no, it doesn't count.

    How do you figure? Water in any form is still water, h2o in solid, gas, or liquid phase is still h2o.

    TOTALLY FALSE. Well, partially false. If the original poster swallows gulp-fulls of humid air there is no way that her body is going to find that at all useful. There is so much bad facts on this sight.

    not to mention all the burping... I could get fired.

    I live in canada too, born and raised. I love to eat snow, its my favorite way to get my water intake. I eat about 15 cups of snow per day, and I love taking my dog sled out to find fresh untouched snow to munch on. watch out for polar bears though....if i see one i hide in my igloo, they can never find me. :)

    What I really want to know is, if you add cherry syrup and make a snow cone out of it, can you count it as a fruit too?

    must be true!

    what if I let it melt in my mouth first?


    But if we chew it wouldnt that be like those negative calorie foods....yeah I think it would burn off more calories to chew it than to drink it making it a win win situation. Yeah Id go with that.....

    that is excellent! Do they have a heater to attach to the device? What about a conveyor belt, or do I need to shovel it?

    You could probably even log that as exercise.

    Wait a second - bicep chest has an awesome idea here. Calorie is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 deg C.

    This means that if you consume water that's no more than 36 deg C, one less than body temp 37 C, you will be consuming negative calories for EVERY GRAM OF WATER!!!

    HOLY **** SOMEONE GET A PEN!!!
