Water doesn't have a taste. If it has a taste, that's probably a bad thing.

Side note, I've drank water from the faucet all my life. I think people who buy bottled water are fucking pansies.

THANK YOU! Fucking retards spending money on water, not to mention the vast amounts of waste they produce by not reusing the bottles. Hey yuppies, get a Brita pitcher and a naglene water bottle!

I buy bottled water sometimes, but usually only in places where I don't have access to a faucet, or if I'm on a long drive. About three weeks ago the girlfriend and I drove across the state. After two hours of 90 degree weather in a car with no AC, bottled water doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Other than that, I generally bottle my own in old jugs of juice, or I'll use them to hold tea or other drinks I've made. It's not so bad, if you can wash all the old fluid out.

15 ponds? :D seriously though, 15 lbs is a serious amount of poundage to lose.

Most bottled water comes from the same faucet anyhow. Heck Aquafina is Detroit City tap water. Sure, it's coming from the largest fresh water resource in the world, but water is water.

I'll agree with you on the subject of bottled water. If you ever needed an example of how slick marketing can fleece the populace then look at bottled water.

I also think bottled water is a rip off for the most part but Im not sure how safe I believe tap water is anymore at the same time. I drink water from the tap, the baby gets bottled water for formula.

Hasn't killed me yet. In fact, I never seem to get sick. I get a cold once a year. Every few years an honest flu-bug.

Isn't the rule "If it's brown, drink it down. If it's black, send it back." ?
