I'm in complete agreement about there being no real difference in the safety & purity of bottled vs. tap water, with one caveat: here in the southeast US, water is notoriously "hard", due to the limestone deposits under our feet built up when this was a shallow prehistoric sea. I guess I'm gonna have to swallow hard & take on the cost of a water filter, or maybe even a softener, just to get my wife to stop spending $$$$$$$$$$ on that damned Dasani water...I've told her everything mentioned here, that it's just tap water in a costly & environmentally unfriendly package, but she knows what she knows & don't try to confuse her with the facts!

As to how we all came to believe this fantasy that the bottlers have sold us, remember the words of Dennis Miller some years back..."'Evian' spelled backwards is 'naive'"...


And PF...for shame, teasing WI with that naughty picture...
