Jeez, that smarts."

It's just distilled water with electrolytes added, which is why I believe they call it smart water.

Bottled water is a scam. The US is among he top nations in the world for water quality straight out of the tap.

That said,...bottled water is stoopid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfPAjUvvnIc
Let me add that I do like to use Brita Pitchers. Also NSFW.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Prince Edward Island | | | I can't drink tap water, especially in cities. You can smell the chlorine from the next room and it gives me heartburn. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't quench your thirst and leaves your mouth pasty. Bottled water for me please, especially the kind with a little bit of calcium added. Our house has a water cooler on every floor like in an office. Basement, living room, upstairs hallway. It's pretty much all I drink. That and alcohol.

Not the case here, tap water and bottled water are indistinguishable.
This is true, even at my cabin, far north enough to be nowhere near any cities.
I guess I'll have to buy a water filter if I ever move to Canada.

I cannot believe how the majority of people buying bottled water (especially when their tap water is fine at home) cannot think for more than a second about how they're being completely ripped off. Not to mention that they're supporting companies who are exploiting people and communities, and destroying the earth at the same time.
Worst case scenario use a filter on your tap.
