Karim Mansouri—Getty Images  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Oct 29, 2018 4:50 PM UTC An art installation that satirized the culture of wellness marketing set up outside of [Gwyneth Paltrow’s](http://time.com/money/5114870/gwyneth-paltrow-engagement-ring-value/) In [Goop Health](http://time.com/4710464/gwyneth-paltrow-ceo-goop/) Summit this past weekend in Vancouver. “Hot Dog Water” parked outside of the $400-per-ticket health summit by the “CEO” of the company, Douglas Bevans. Bevans and associates dubbed “extraction experts” passed out samples of the questionable drink that they described as “keto-compatible” and had the ability to “increase\[s\] vitality.” According to [_The Star Vancouver_](https://www.thestar.com/vancouver/2018/10/27/hot-dog-water-gets-turned-away-from-wellness-event.html), Bevans parked Hot Dog Water outside of the first-ever Goop summit in Vancouver as a way to bring attention to dishonest product marketing. “Goop is the face of the controversy with healthy lifestyle quackery that permeates in this credulous age,” he said. “They are the poster child for bad and questionable product marketing.” This isn’t the first time that Paltrow’s lifestyle and wellness company has been questioned for endorsements. In the past, Goop has come under fire for promoting products like [“healing energy” stickers](https://gizmodo.com/nasa-calls-bullshit-on-goops-120-bio-frequency-healing-1796309360) and [jade “yoni” eggs](http://time.com/money/5390761/gwyneth-paltrow-goop-net-worth/). The brand was recently reported to the U.K.’s trading standards and advertising watchdogs over the claims about products, The Good Thinking Society confirmed to [CNBC Monday](https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/29/gwyneth-paltrows-goop-reported-to-uk-watchdogs-overadvertising.html). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5437804/hot-dog-water-goop/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5437804/hot-dog-water-goop/"},"headline":"Vitality-Boosting 'Hot Dog Water' Vendor Tries to Disrupt Gwyneth Paltrow's 'In Goop Health' Summit","datePublished":"2018-10-29T16:50:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:42.535Z","description":"We're guessing this isn't going to make the 2018 Goop Gift Guide","url":"https://time.com/5437804/hot-dog-water-goop/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt301d1ee18389ab02/69893dbb4ee262175c313397/goop-summit-bans-hot-dog-water.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt301d1ee18389ab02/69893dbb4ee262175c313397/goop-summit-bans-hot-dog-water.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hotdogs cooking in water","caption":"Hotdogs cooking in water","creditText":"Karim Mansouri—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5437804/hot-dog-water-goop/","name":"Vitality-Boosting 'Hot Dog Water' Vendor Tries to Disrupt Gwyneth Paltrow's 'In Goop Health' Summit"}}]}] ```
