I bought a 24pk of bottled water yesterday

And on the back of the label it says this.......

Source: Municipal water supply

So apparently I just bought tap water?

Looks like you just buy your tap water, someone got screwed! :rofl:

 

[acenipplelicker]

it may have been filtered- some areas have water from mountain snow and its usually good stuff

they were taking bottled water from North calif source which has a drought going. an end was put to that when is was publicized.

actually tap water is charged for in your water bill every month- either way its not free

Unless you're somewhere with bad water, you're just wasting your money on bottled water. I remember a Penn & Teller Bullshit where they gave people water all coming from the same garden hose and spigot, telling them it was different specialty waters, and the subjects tasted a difference just because they think it's there.

It could've been bottled from the bathroom sink at a Mountain Springs Stop & Go gas station in Flint, Michigan and it'd still technically be bottled water.

I have a solar-powered clothes dryer I can sell you. And if you act now, I'll throw in the accessories for free.

Where I live there's a high sulfur content in the city water supply, fairly common problem is our part of East Texas. We use our tap water for washing clothes, washing dishes, taking baths and flushing the toilet. Cooking, coffee, tea, or anything else consumable is bottled water, and well worth paying for. Britta and other filters can only handle about two gallons before they're tapped out.

bottled water= bottles for water

how else you gonna carry w youf cupped hand- bottles way more efficent

I remember in Tokyo they specifically sell bottled "Tokyo Tap Water" because the purification system in the city is so advanced it's just as good as spring water, maybe even better.
I agree it's mostly psychological; just get a filter and I'd say you're fine with tap, unless you're in some place that specifically has had a history of water issues.

 

[GodsEmbryo]

Depending on the source 25% to 50% of so called bottled water is tap water anyway

Next time I will get either Spring water or Distilled.

The water in my area is so chlorinated it almost burns your eyes sitting in front of the fucking sink doing dishes.

Bottled water is a big industry. I remember that Leave It To Beaver episode, where they turned off the water in the Cleavers' neighborhood for a whole day to do repairs. So Beaver decides to start selling water door to door that he'd poured into cartons before the supply was shut off. You can bet the Beav got a stern talking to from Ward about the evils of profiteering!

Sometimes during the Summer when it's really hot my tap water smells like dead worms. You know that smell you get the morning after a fresh rain. That stinky funk with dead worms all over the sidewalks and shit? I think I might puke just thinking about it. Bleh

The municipal water supply where I live goes through cycles of over-chlorination/no chlorination/smells-like-rotten-eggs/looks green/looks brown/looks like sewage, and a few others. Worm-dirt isn't an unfamiliar aroma coming from the tap. Yeah, I buy bottled water, wish I didn't have to but I'm not drinking the shit coming out of the faucet.

I do feel for you guys where tap water is undrinkable. You'd think that every first world country would have fixed that by now.

Now if they could just insulate their homes. Fuck, it was cold/hot as tits/hell.

LOL I hear you. It's amazing that for such a technologically advanced country, central heating isn't standard.

I can fill a glass with my tap, set it on the counter for about 15 min and it's got sediment at the bottom of the glass. WTF is that shit?

I don't have to wait fifteen minutes for the shiny oil slick that floats on top.
