Bottled water

[Mr Aleks]

Do you buy it? What do you think of it compared to tap water? And if you do buy it, why?

 

[flashy]

yes i buy it, i buy it because i want it, and why do i want it? because i am probably thirsty at the time

 

[panther]

dont buy it!
tap water is good enough, just pop it in a jug and pop it in the fridge, simple, nice cold water

I installed my own carbon filter system which has its own tap -easy peasy.
I dont like the chlorine -can smell it when I run a bath, so leave it evaporate off for about 5 minutes -am thinking of dechlorinating bath water - seen something that can be added and is natural but cant remember where (on web) I saw it

Tap water has all kinds of things added to it. Bottled water doesn't, unless tampered with.

I drink both, but keep tap water to a bare minimum.

 

[Mr Aleks]

I had a look today at some in blackburn and saw this on a bottle of a well known brand

"taken from a municipal water supply"

Now municipal means tap basically.

We pay more for this water per litre than petrol.

municipal means shared btw

I don't like the taste of tap water. it's like drinking bleach:

could very well of done

 

[Mr Aleks]

So the "mineral" water we buy could also have been p**sed out by someone.

 

[flashy]

who knows what goes into ANYTHING we buy nowadays Margaret

Water is naturally in cycle (nothing new under the sun)
So the only water that might not have been p**d will be that which has been frozen in the polar caps for eons

I buy it because I can't stand the smell of the water that comes out of the taps. It reeks of chlorine and makes me feel sick.

 

[panther]

eres a question for ya...
Why does mineral water thats trickled down mountains for thousands of years have a use by date?.....emmmmm.......

 

[Mr Aleks]

Just something i found on a website....

Coca-Cola's Dasani brand of bottled water was found to have illegally high levels of bromate, a cancer-causing chemical, say company executives in the UK. Coca-Cola, which had called their water, "as pure as bottled water gets," immediately recalled 500,000 bottles. It is, of course, a public relations disaster for the company, which has been trying to develop new markets other than soft drinks.

Because its been processed more than tap water most likely so making the trickled down mountains for thousands of years bit bulls**t

When we're on hols in the caravan I happily drink the tap water there as that doesn't smell of chlorine either but when you turn our taps on it usually smells like the swimming baths.
