In this episode, Carol Elder, the co-owner of the famous mineral water company Crazy Water, shares the intriguing history of mineral wells in Texas. Founded in the late 1800s, Crazy Water has a legendary origin story involving healing properties that cured a settler's rheumatism and a woman's mental health issues. Over the years, Crazy Water saw a resurgence, becoming a staple during the natural water craze in America. Today, it is one of the few remaining mineral water companies still bottling its water, primarily distributing within Texas but slowly reaching other states.
