Hungry for some Thorpedo?

The guy is in and of himself, an empire... at least that's what he's seemingly making himself. He's got a line of underwear, jewelry, endorsements all over the damn place and now these food products. Well, just water at the moment. More specifically, Thorpedo Advanced Hydration Ultra Low GI Energy Water©. Heh. Catchy. Not really. He's going to try and market this stuff to the US. Maybe it will be the next big thing since Gatorade and Red Bull... but I do have a tickling suspicion the first thing Yank marketers will change is that moniker. Although I'd like to be there when/if they try and write a jingle for "Ultra Low GI Energy Water". It sounds more like something you'd put in your carborator, doesn't it?
Maybe if they change the bottles so they're the shape of Thorpey's sveltness, not unlike the shapely Gaultier perfume/cologne bottles. I might just get a bottle.
I am left with the lingering thought though.... why doesn't he just open a restaurant like every other celebrity out there?
