Man trolls festival-goers by selling hot dog water for €24

People will buy anything!

An artist fooled festival-goers this week with a bizarre product.

Douglas Bevans set up a booth at the Car Free Day Festival in Vancouver and started selling bottles of hot dog water, which was basically just a hot dog in a bottle of water!

He claimed it was something of a miracle juice - helping people to lose weight, look younger and increase brain function.

??We Launched our Sensational new weight loss and rejuvenation miracle water to the public at #carfreedayyvr this past weekend. We sampled over 16 gallons of this salty and satisfying brew to you! Did you get a chance to wet the whistle with us!? Post a comment below and tell us what you thought. #hotdogwater #yvr #hotdogs #water #rejuvination #weightlosssolutions

Douglas wanted to highlight how easy it is to be lead astray by misleading health marketing.

And it worked - people were queuing up for the stuff. At €24 a pop!

Speaking to Global News, he said:

"They've been drinking it for hours, we have gone through about 60 litres of real hot dog water".
