In Most Cases Bottled Water Is No Better Than Tap Water

Bottled water vs tap water... the debate continues.

Kudos to the advertising company that first succeeded in marketing bottled water.  It was pure genius to convince the public to buy something that was free and plentiful throughout the country. 

Unlike Wall Drug whose marketing campaign consists of advertising free ice water to draw in customers for their other products, bottled water marketers went after the high class market saying theirs was better than water out of the tap.  In the end, this made the expensive plastic container of water a status symbol of sorts.

Personally, I just refill my empty throw away containers with tap water, a technique that works at the airport to avoid paying for a high priced drink of water as well.
