I thought it was interesting when i moved to this country that the vending machines were selling bottled water at prices just a couple cents below the cost of soda. Maybe it was really made as an alternative for those soda junkies who need to feel a bottle pressed against their lips..who knows? Anyway, since this is the land of the free, bottled "tap" water or what ever it holds is a consumer's perogative.

When you think about it people drink water from the tap all over the world and I don't think its any harm to them. I don't what that says about us if we are willing to pay $8 for a bottle of water thats pretty much free if you have a cup.

Rumor has it has Dasani water is actually tap water! On the topic of tap water, I prefer to drink the tap water in Brooklyn rather than in Queens, because from my experience it actually tastes better.

Sometimes I even wonder if the bottled water itself is actually tap water, but just with a label indicating that it's spring water. I drink both tap and bottled and to me it's pretty much the same.
