Bottled water vs. tap water
2004-10-16, 6:31 PM #41
If I have the option, I'll usually buy something flavoured instead of water, because it's usually the same price or cheaper, and contains sugar in addition to water. <3 sugar.

that sounds biased to me. while it offers facts, it also seems to try to persuade you to buy some sort of alkaline ionized-water thing.

Besides, if the guy has terminal cancer, why does he even care whats in his water? He's going to die anyway.

Personally, I drink spring water.

I drink water out of my toilet. Does that count as tap water?
2004-10-16, 7:14 PM #46
Yea, I buy the 24 packs, or whatever the large packs are. I'll either have it in my room so I don't have to walk a minute and a half to a decent water source in my dorm hall, or you can always go around selling the bottles a dollar a peice. At 4 dollers per 24 pack... that's a nice way to make money. Yes, I will go to a beach with a cooler offering to sell bottles. Yes I will go around in school selling bottles. Yes I will do anything to sell stuff like this (buy in bulk for cheap, sell individually for a rip off)

As of recent though, I've found myself eating and drinking alot healthier. The only soda I will drink now is Mountain Dew. Simply because it is the nectar of life. Alot more water and (real) fruit drinks, etc.

Coke = $1
Water = $1.25

Coke = water + sugar
Water = water

Yay Coke.

Gatorade = water + salt
Gatorade = $2.25

GG Gatorade.

There's salt in gatorade? That's funny.

His opinion is obviously wrong... do you really trust a man who uses ASP????

He's a terminal cancer survivor.

Both in Arizona and recently, Oklahoma, we have been told that it's probably best not to drink unfiltered tap water if we don't have to, so we buy some bottled water, and also, our refridgerator filters water so we use that, too.

Bottled water definitely tastes better than the tap water I'm used to.

When I hiked the alps in Switzerland there was a continuously flowing drinking fountain filtering glacial water directly from the mountains. Maybe the atmosphere had everything to do with it, but that was the best water I have ever tasted.

Fixed.

And as far as I am concerned... I'll drink tap water until the day it kills me... or until the day when I'm still just fine from drinking tap water. If it's good enough for me to shower in, it's good enough for me to drink.

People that have or have had cancer are incapable of lying. In all seriousness, I didn't post the link as if it were true, I just posted it because it was an interesting read. I agree, it's always suspicious when someone bashes things and then tries to sell you something that is supposedly better. Either way, still an interesting read.

I'm going to take a page from my Chemistry professor and say:

I pay 91 cent/Litre for gas and I get angry. Where as I pay $2 a litre for water! WATER! Gaoline is a non-renewable resource. Water makes up 70% of the Earth's surface.

Also, bottled water tends to have more chemicals in it than your tap water. Perrier water, is famed for having a distinctive taste, that has a lot to do with the fact that it has Benzene in it. That's not a problem, if you don't care if your kidneys fail!

Anyways, I drink tap water. In the case of here in the city, filitered (gets rid of the chlorine taste). In my home town the water is some of the best you can find anywhere (seriously).

Also, flouride is put in your water by Communists to steal our essence!

Flouridization is a commie plot. Everyone knows that.
