What appeared to be an unusual new health drink was apparently all a misunderstanding.
Bottles labeled "Asparagus Water" briefly appeared on the shelves of a Whole Foods store in California.
At $6 a bottle, the asparagus stalks in liquid became a target of ridicule on social media.
Whole Foods says the drink was supposed to be water infused with the essence of vegetables, like asparagus, but was made incorrectly. It has since been removed.
