People who buy bottled water are fish at life.

Good point, but I don't like to rip on iron cuz he's such a nice guy that he doesn't even allow check-raising in his home game cuz he thinks it's rude.

I drink tap water all the time in nyc as it's very good, but tap water at my parents is disgusting (very hard). lots of coastal places like outer banks have nasty water also, the taste is a lot different.

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.

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?

This threw me too. I use my taps at least 99 days out of a hundred, and almost certainly more. Those pipes are not unused, ever.

And anything yellow I am sure as hell not drinking.

I buy distilled water for my fish and plants. If that runs out I drink tap water. Tastes a little worse but you get used to it.

I get bottled water when I'm out somewhere. I never drink soft drinks so if I'm thirsty it's either a smoothie a juice or a bottle of water. They're selling convenience, it's not the product itself.

It'd be interesting to know how much more a soft drinks company have to spend on filling the bottles, over whatever processes bottled water goes through.

I only drink tap water, paying for bottled water just irks me. I also live in Truckee and we have some of the best tap water in the country...but even when I visit other places, tap water is good enough for me.

bottled water simply tastes much better, depending on where you are. some places have very good tasting tap water, and i can imagine people from those places not being able to understand the sale of bottled water, but in some places the tap water is really disgusting.

OP –

Tell you what, move to New Orleans for a few years and drink the tap water. We’ll see what you think of bottled water then.

The first week I bought my house, I received a letter from the local water company stating it was required by the EPA to provide notice to all residents of a “high fecal content” in the tap water. Luckily the water department assured me that this is the same water its residents have been consuming for years.

Good times. Thank God I got the out of that hole.
