Tsunami Water Bottles Selling Slowly At Wild Oats

ROOKWOOD - Despite a big $1.50 discount this month, the Tsunami Water Bottles are barely moving off the shelves at the Rookwood Commons Wild Oats.

"I found these soon after that whole tsunami thing was in the news," said store manager Mary Fritzpatrick, "And I thought it would be a great timely product that would go over well with our earth-conscious customers. Well, they have sold about as fast as the $19 jars of raw almond butter."

The store tried displaying signs like 'Quench Your Thirst with Tsunami' and 'Hey Tsin-tsinami, Ohio!'. Alas, the signs have done little to help make the sale to Rookwood residents.
