    Crazy Water from Mineral Wells, Texas is one of America's most mineral-rich bottled waters. With history dating back over a century, it stands alongside European heavyweights in mineral content.

    Overview

    Why it is different

    Unlike any other major American brand, Crazy Water offers multiple mineral-strength tiers — Crazy Water No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 — each progressively higher in dissolved minerals. The numbering lets drinkers pick their preferred intensity.
