People who buy bottled water are fish at life.

A couple more things:

1. Tap water has extra GOOD things in it, such as fluoride.
2. Yellow water is not bad for you usually, it just means you got a little rust in a pipe you hadn't used for a while.

3. It is bad to use the soft plastic bottles over and over again.
4. To deep clean a bottle, toss a little vinegar and baking soda in there, let it fizz, then add some water and swirl around.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine also. I know people that carry bottled water in their own fridge that they drink instead of tap water, WTF?

I see you've been in my fridge, you little bastard. Probably stealing my Dasani, eh? Yeah, I thought so.

How you can possibly compare central Iowa tap water with Dasani is beyond me. I think I pay, what, $.25 a bottle on sale? Well worth it. Tap water sucks.

Let me get this straight...rusty water is okay, water in old plastic bottles is bad for you?

[guids]

he said reusing the plastic bottles, not straight from the bottle. it isnt an easy task to sanitize those plastic bottles, well my time is worth more than it is easy.




In all reality, Im not too worried about it as Ive never gotten sick just reusing the jugs.


one thing I will say, is that there is no sweeter water in teh world than drinking straight from the hose on a hot day.

Tap water is for poor people.

Who the [censored] uses a faucet so seldom the pipes start to rust, then decides to fill a bottle with water from the faucet, and THEN decides to drink the water when it comes out discolored?

By the way, I do buy bottled water these days, but it's usually Safeway's label, or the Costco Kirkland brand. It does seem excessively elitist to me to pay 2-3X as much for a brand name. That or kinda stupid.

Also, I wish someone could explain to me the difference between drinking water and spring water. Which should I be choosing to maximize my drinking experience? On the one hand "drinking" water seems to be the obvious choice because I plan to drink it. On the other hand, spring water comes from a spring, amirite!? Hard to not want to drink water from a spring.

I think the real fish at life are the people who get all worked up about something that saves you literally pennies. Are you also one of those people who goes out of your way to go a gas station on the other side of town to save 5 cents a gallon? My dad does this and it drove me nuts when I was growing up.

I prefer the taste of bottled water to tap water so I buy the 24-packs from the grocery store for about 15 cents a gallon. Of all the little things I could do to save myself money, switching to tap water probably isn't in the top 100.
