Please explain why you would pay 500 times the utility price for a bottle of water when 1. It's usually just municipal water bottled 2. The price of shipping it 3. The environmental price of plastic bottles 4. Utilities have to follow extremely strict standards Seems to me to be the scam of the century, absurd if you think about it really.
I buy bottled water in bulk that I use very sparingly for moments when I know I'm going to need a disposable, portable amount of drinking water and also for emergencies. Otherwise I drink tap.
It is occasionally necessary to drink water where the utility is not available and you don't have the foresight/work-ethic to bottle your own water. In those cases, bottled water is quite convenient. In the other 99.9% of cases, it's a scam.
Sorry, but Ozarka tastes better than the tap water in my apartment and at the water fountain at work. Plus at work, I get it for free... May be a scam, but I see the justification.
I seldom buy bottled water. I have a four-station reverse osmosis water filter at my house and we drink/cook using that.
Awesome! FINALLY someone brought this discussion up once again before the end of the year. Great job OP.
1. The stuff I buy isn't 2. ? Is this not mixed in with the cost already? 3. Is less than the price of the computer you typed this on. 4. And they use chlorine which is cheap and tastes bad.
Yeah, we’ve been through this topic ad nauseam on this board. No reason to start a new thread on it. Topics like this seem to bring out the worst in people and are best avoided. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go start a thread on tipping etiquette.
Actually, it isn't. Bottled water is free of ions such as K, Na, Al, F, all of which have raised levels in tap water. Bottled water is usually processed through some reverse osmotic process to purify it not only from ions but from carbon containing materials such as certain bacteria and other harmful junk. You don't believe me? Take a freshmen chemistry course, chances are you'll do a water project and see that bottled water as opposed to tap water has close to nothing in it.
Heh. If Schaub keeps on his current pace, Atlanta is going to have the world's worst track record for trading quarterbacks.
