drink for thought

Do you drink bottled water? I think that it is safe to say that most people do. Do you ever think about where that water comes form? When I drink polan spring I just think “what it means to be from Maine” and feel better about myself. It is pretty much the same feeling with any other bottle water I drink. However it shouldn’t be. Recently Pepsi released a statement that explained that there bottled water aqufina is not from a tap some where up north rather it is tap water just like anyone could get out of their sink provided they had a good filter. This boggled my mind. I could not believe it. I found this out in my cultural geography class today we watched a movie on it. One of the stats that I remembered is almost as amazing was the initial point. Think for a second how much more expensive bottle water is then tap. I am sure your guess is not even close because if you knew the right answer you’d probably never drink bottled water again. Bottled water costs seven thousand times more then tap water and some times for the same product. Lt me just put this in perspective for you my car is worth about 2500 pretty crappy I know but that not the point lets call my car tap water if I were to pay the bottled water price my car would have cost 17,500,000 for the same product - wild i know
