dead water
H2O! Replaced now by 'water beverages'.
Dead water is called so because of the new 'aquaceuticals' market of 'enhanced' or 'designer water', like Propel made by Gatorade rich in calcium/ sodium/ potassium/ magnesium/ chloride 'lytes (electrolytes) and trace-vitamins or those that come with caffiene (or, 'caffienated water').
Dead in the water
-idiom/phrase
Many different interpretations, but here's mine.
An idea or product that is hindered by lack of careful thought and planning and does not appeal to the masses. The fault usually falls upon the developer of the idea/product. When the product or idea is dispersed to the intended audience, the audience immediately dismisses it. The idea or product was doomed from start.
