Bottled water is stupid

Bottled water has got to be the single stupidest successful product ever invented. Water literally falls from the sky for free. It comes out of the tap for free, too. Why pay for it? You're just paying for tap water in a plastic bottle. None of these bottled water brands are actually spring water or taken from a pristine stream in the Rocky Mountains; they're all just bottled tap water. Not even filtered tap water! Just plain old tap water!

Even LaCroix, which was made by homeopathy buffs and tastes like TV static that once saw a fruit in a past life and carries the vague memory of that sight in its half-remembered dreams, is a better product than bottled water because at least LaCroix has carbonation and the ghost of a shadow of the idea of flavor in it!

Actually a selling point of most bottled water (as opposed to the gallon jugs of "drinking water" which *are* tap water) is that they *aren't city water.

Nestles and others are sharply criticized for that water from natural sources to bottle. Often without proper permits and to the deteriment of the local water supply.
