Whole Foods has pulled a new product off shelves after customers started complaining on social media.


The drink was labeled as "asparagus water" and sold for $6. It was basically water with a few stalks of asparagus.

Marielle Wakim, associate editor of Los Angeles Magazine, posted a photo of the pricey concoction on her Instagram page and wrote, "Somewhere in L.A., Whole Foods executives are laughing at all of us."

Whole Foods says the drink, sold at a Brentwood store, was actually a mistake and meant to be infused with asparagus and not contain actual stalks.

1. Reminds me of something labeled 'maple water' I tried a year or two back.

I thought it was going to be maple syrup before it was boiled down to thicken it up, ie, sugar maple sap. Instead, I'm pretty sure it was just rainwater collected under maple trees, maybe.
