Whole Foods is the new PT Barnum.
Is Whole Foods trolling its own employees?
But it's WF!!!
You might want to revisit the link, which has been updated with the following information: "The product was made incorrectly and has since been removed from the one store where it was carried...(T)his product isn't and never has been available for online ordering on Instacart and was only ever offered in one store."
I have to admit...while I get that it's gone and it's definitely ridiculous - if someone's would buy it, why not. It's not mislabeled, it's not like asparagus is particularly buzz worthy health wise so I don't even get a tonic huckster vibe from this - it's just ridiculous. And there are lots of people out there buying ridiculous.
But it's more fun to try to gin up a lot of outrage at a company* you dislike than it is to shrug at people who buy stupid stuff.

Christ on a bicycle- the mind boggles.
There's a WF up the hill from work, and their ready-to-go cooked dishes and sushi are a nice counterpoint to the hospital cafeteria that we're stuck with most of the time. But I think if you're gullible enough to buy asparagus water for $6, then I won't make fun of you to your face, but might when you're not around.
