<title>What Makes A Great Hot Tub</title> 
<description>Somebody might say that the most sold spa in the World is perhaps the best.  I have to say that I doubt that very much. That would be the same as saying the most sold of anything is the best and I am sure we all know that cannot be true as the best is always a bit exclusive and to be exclusive you can not be the most sold item. It is as if you were the most common so that argument, in my opinion, fails to hold water and to underline the point for example a Bentley or Rolls Royce car might be one of the best cars in the world but it is not the most sold car in the world.</description>
