It’s from Wayne’s World, Nellers, which is well worth rewatching.

That's two things I've learned from this thread today.

"Product contents have been vacuum packed for freshness"

On a packet of replacement mop heads for a steam mop!

The whole article by Adam King in the Sunday Times Magazine, debunking celebrity health nonsense, is worth the read, but I will titilate you with this gem:

“Don’t find water hydrating enough? Meet the supermodel Miranda Kerr, who absolutely agrees, and has made it her life’s work to address this vital issue. Her solution? Shove it in the kettle. “It’s super hydrating … I feel like water hydrates me quicker when it’s hot.” It doesn’t. It’s water. (I’m going to be furious if it turns out she’s right and wins a Nobel prize for her tireless research.)”

it probably contains less dissolved air and minerals so it is closer to 100% pure water than it is when it comes out of the tap.

Why isn't there an anti-mineral water movement among celebrities keen on "pure" water?

Minerals are good, it's not like they are chemicals or that

Not sure about that hot water thing. It seems logical that if something is experienced as more refreshing, it is more hydrating. And a cold beer is more refreshing than a warm one.

Wouldn't boiled water contain *more* dissolved minerals than before boiling?

It does Carpathius. The steam would be pure water, if you re-condensed it.
However, the minerals may work to rehydrate, think about electrolytes...

It is not perfect
-It can only be washed with cold water, not machine washable and dry
-It may have some flavor, but it will dissipate after cleaning
-It can only accompany you to exercise but not to attend a dinner party
-It is soft, comfortable and flexible, allowing you to do whatever you want
-It has a reasonable size from S to XXXXL, please pay attention to the size chart
-It will make you sweaty, are you ready?
