I saw that on the news and man am I pissed. Lets hope some cleaver lawyers find ways to get these guys. I never thought the water tasted any better than tap, it's pretty much tasteless anyways, but I figured maybe the bottled stuff had less chemicals and was safer than tap.
I mean who do these think they are deceiving us like that, the government?
 
nope, I just drink tap water period - at least in my town, it's good quality
 
You have to read the lables. Dasani is also bottled tap water. It's nothing new. Just another case of corporate America being sly with the public. And we fell for it.
I drink tap water all the time. We have a well here at home and tons of springs, streams and ponds around so we get natural un tampered with water at the faucet.
We have thought of bottling it. LOl
 
People have been saying that Spring Water is only tap water in a pretty bottle for years. It's the first thing that people say when you pull out a bottle. Regarding the hope that lawyers might sue Pepsi, look at the bottle- I believe Aquafina says "bottled water", thus not misinforming about the product. It's a very small technicality that might protect them from legal fallout.
 
Coke and Pepsi (along with pretty much any other soft drink manufacturer) have been selling plain old water (with at most a few cents worth of flavourings) for an enormous mark-up for years. Now they have just cut out the flavour additives.

I keep a 2 litre water bottle in the fridge and fill it from the tap, (Manchester tap water is very nice).
 
Nope:

I only drink distilled water, distilled from my "Polar Bear Distiller"

http://www.polarbearwater.com/

The model I bought years ago, cost me ------- but it has paid for itself over time, considering that Pepsi etc just bottles filtered water and charges over a $1.

I have the comfort of knowing I have distilled water, pure, and can go to the ocean, 2 blocks away and dump sea water into the machine and have fresh water in an emergency.

I have 16 litres of water on stand by at all times, and a food supply, I live in an earthquake zone, Vancouver Island, but I know, if it tears loose, it doesn't matter what preperations I have, we are screwed.
 
I don't think that fairly characterizes Pepsi announcement. What it announced was that "The Aquafina in this bottle is purified water that originates from a public water source,". That's a big difference from just tap water. They process and purify the water. The reality is that most bottled water originates from tap water, so it's really not that big of a deal.

I drink from the drinking fountain all the time at the gym. I really don't have an issue drinking tap water, but I also buy bottled water. I often grab a bottle of water to drink when I am driving somewhere. I used bottled water and Gatorade to replace carbonated beverages, so even if paying for bottled water is a rip off, it's better than buying a Coke.

The water is [STRIKE]"purfied"[/STRIKE] processed by the town of Ayer's municipal dept so it is a little mis-leading though technically correct from a legal standpoint, just more marketing BS.
 
We have kiosks in our town that dispense filtered water inexpensively. They are clearly labelled as starting with city water and then show the stages of treatment that the water goes through. I use it because my well water has sand in it.

Another issue here is the trash produced by throwing away all of those plastic bottles that the water comes in. What a huge source of pollution that must be.
 
I do drink bottled water, it's just so easy to put it in the fridge, grab and go.

I've know for a while what it was made from.
 
So where did everyone think the water came from? There's some mystical spring in the mountain, and people hold the bottles under it, one at a time? Of course it's tap water! It's just from a better tap than yours.

I've lived in the Sierra mountains, and the water that came out of the tap was as fresh and clean and tasty as you could hope for... it was snow water from further up the mountain that had been gathered in cisterns during the winter. So why not bottle it and send it to those poor schmucks who live in the Central Valley and have sulfur and cow-waste in their water?

Oakland has a really good water treatment system, it's charcoal-filtered in covered reservoirs, so it's pretty clean. I only drink bottled water because, well, it comes in a bottle... portable and all. I tend to refill the bottle a few times from the tap before I throw it in the recycling bin.
 
i don't drink water at all. it's bad for you ya know

well I constantly drink juice. cranberry is my favorite. I have some White-Cran Peach and some Cran-Apple in the fridge right now ;)
 
We have a reverse osmosis system under the sink, with a tap that's just for drinking water. It's great; that's what I drink. Put it in a nalgene container or something of the like and I'm set.

yeah i agree with this. i suspect these bottled waters go through a three stage filtration process after they come out of the tap.

it's suspect it's UV sterilizer, reverse osmosis, and then carbon filtered. so to say it's "just tap water" i don't think is entirely accurate. but if folks have been thinking it comes from some spring up in a mountain then that's just silly i think. there isn't enough water doing that to make all the bottled water out there. i drink tap water with crystal light in it. ;)
