i have no idea why anyone would bother buying bottled water. bad for the environment and ridiculous to pay for

[daem]

I generally buy it because it is cold. No other reason really...I'm a man of convenience, and this meets my need when I'm at a gas station or out and about.

[Bojangles69]

Sorry but tap water doesnt have pain medication.

Which is why anyone with half a brain buys bottled water..

[T_Own]

last time i checked its a little hard to get tap water when i'm out.. it can have whatever it wants in it, but bottled water definitely tastes better than most tap water, its much more convenient and doesn't cost all that much really

drink any bottle water with "reverse osmosis" and you are safe. stay away from the "spring" waters. they are generally straight from the ground with just a filter from here in Florida. for example dasani is made with reverse osmosis. the water that is not use for bottled water is used in the making of all coca cola products. so you pretty much know it is safe stuff.

For safety I only use bottled water when I am abroad..... which is most of the year! Why pay for bottled water in your home when it costs more than beer?

Evian?!? Bitch!!! I said Pellegrino!!! (Cartman's Jennifer Lopez hand puppet from South Park)

I use the reverse osmosis from wally world. I get it at about $.24 per gallon. I pay less than $2 for a 5 gallon refill.

Evian spelled backwards is NAIVE

If you guys are just figuring this out... wow. Dasani and Aquafina is filtered tap water, and that has been public information for years.

[CeeLo]

I heard it before, but it's still yesterday's headline!

Dasani is RO water. It's pure H2O.

Any RO (reverse osmosis) water is good for you. It removes all the contaminates.

And truth be told, bottled water doesn't have to adhere to the strict laws against contaminates that are in tap water. So technically it can be more contaminated.

[j4ever41]

i never buy bottled water unless i am out and about, i have always thought the whole bottled water industry is a big rip off.

[JiGGaMaN]

bottled water has pain medication lol. ill let you know when i start nodding from a bottle of water.

yep filtered tap. that was all i was saying.

[IronReload04]

I buy it just for the bottle, and use the bottle for like a month or 2...couple months later, spend 1.50 for a new one

LOL. Yeah, I do that to.

[AdamGH]

Some areas across the united states the tap water is probably good. New York comes to mind as having great water. it really depends where you live. the government in florida spends little on keeping the waters clean here. florida has some of the worst water in the US. Whats funny is we sell the most spring water. Stick with Dasani or Aquafina who use filtered tap water using the Reverse Osmosis method and you dont have to worry about it.

haha, i picked up my Nestle pure life bottle at my dad's house tonight and it's from Greenwood Indiana and it says Source: Public water system.
