Well everyone knew this, but for those of you who still drink bottled water maybe this will just help you off the habit.

IT IS A WAIST OF MONEY!!!!!!!

Is that supposed to increase sales or something? Seems like it'd do the opposite...

San Francisco banned bottled water, I'm so in favor of that. Paying for water? That's so stupid. You're just paying for plastic.

If anything, they should come up with a water bottle that is also a purifier.

Another great stoned idea...

Fiji is an island... Mt.Fuji is the volcano in Japan...

Anyways, I always buy bottled water. Yes tap is cheaper, but I dont mind paying $2.99 for a case of 24 poland spring... And then I go and refill the bottle out of the tap when I'm done. I honestly don't mind paying fort the plastic.

Aquafina in particular always tasted like ass to me anyway.

For anyone who hasn't read the story, the mayor of SF banned city departments from using city money to buy bottled water.

Good idea if you ask me. If the city's water supply isn't good enough for them, it shouldn't be good enough for their city.

I don't buy bottled water unless tap water isn't convenient... Water is water to me I guess. *shrug*

A lot of bottled water is simply tap water. Coke does a lot of shit in third world countries, buying up and using all the ground water for their Dasani label. Fuck bottled water. If you're worried about, get a filtration system (even if it is Britia on the tap) and drink normal water. Fuck paying for it, for the sake of all that is holy, does it not strike you as sick that we pay for something people used to be able to drink straight out of a river? It strikes me as being sick.

Cavities are on the rise as bottled water sales increase....

Tap water for life.

yeah i never quite understood how bottled water was more expensive than coca cola or other soda.

it's a fucking scheme.

I read somewhere flouride isn't good for you in the long run and it has alot of negative side affects.I think it was a conspiracy,but my rule is 80% of conspiracies are true.Unless it's a conpiracy hiding a conspricay but we hardly get that.

I don't drink tap water....Yes I'm sad to say it I purchase bottled water,but not the small ones(16 oz) but by the gallon.

I've been interested in obtaining a screw on filter;procrastination is a bitch.

A bottle of Dasani costs less then 1 cent to make. That is not including the bottle. I just drink good tap water, with ice.

Everyone should know this by now. All bottled water is tap water with filters and its round 15% of them that have bacteria in them and Penn and Teller have a Bullshit episode on bottled water. Big problem with bottled water is people don't recycle the bottles and they fill up landfills.
