Talk about salesmanship, I’d like to meet that person who sold the first bottle of water!!!

All those bottles of water. Were filled from the fountain on the right. Flavoring added to the first item.

Value added

“Its got electrolytes.”

Evian is naive spelled backwards.

Does that tell you anything about bottled water customers?

the manufacturers of all those products are happy to be making water…

Just just water water, please.

Hmmm….pretty sure the “just water” has some ingredients you don’t want

Careful. You can die from breathing di-hydrogen monoxide.

I find that when I ask for water in a restaurant now the servers try to shame me into buying the bottled. water by saying, “oh you just want tapwater?” like it’s poison. My answer is usually yes, it’s the cleanest water available to the public in the history of mankind.

What? No Holy water?

Holey water is bubbly

Water is all you need to drink. Everything else is pure advertising. You will probably spend the equivalent of a college education on water with additives of one sort or another.

I felt the same way about bottled water until I took a job in a international engineering and consulting firm which took over 3 floors of a large office building. When I started I noticed there were no drinking fountains on any of the floors. When I asked about it I was told that when they took over the space the engineers had demanded that the building remove them all. That was good enough for me. Before that I thought it was a bunch of hooey. They had the evidence to prove me wrong.

Not so sure that the “Just Water” is just water, purity-wise…

I grew up in the ‘60s and 70’s in Buffalo NY. We drank water from the Great Lakes, most notably, Lake Erie. It didn’t kill me or make me sick so I figure tap water won’t shorten my life by much. But, think, plastic bottles are made from a petroleum by product. No matter how it is made “Safely” some plastic by products will leach into the water. Tap water in a glass is much safer!

It’ll never sell. Like "just coffee " won’t sell
