Bottled Water vs Tap Water

I used to consider myself the last person to fall in the whole botteled water trap. Now i am in that trap. :frowning:

The market for bottled water in N. America has grown 10 folds in the last decade and a half and unfortunately i have contributed much to that statistic.

Its not that i dont drink tap water, i still drink it whenever its more accessible.. its just that bottled water is so much more readily available now. For the past couple of years now ive been addicted to it.

ANDDD (believe it or not) it tastes soo much more better.. so pure, so virgin! I told a friend of mine i can tell the different between bottled water and tap water and he kept insisting there isnt any difference.

For those of you who dont believe me, do this little test. Buy two bottles (any size, any company) of water as long as theyre the same size. Open both their caps (break the seal that is). Now empty (or drink) one bottle. Once emptied fill it up with tap water. Put the cap back on. So now you have two bottles, one with bottled water and one with tap water, both capped. Leave them anywhere in your home for a whole day. Come back the next day and you will see the bottle with the tap water has many bubbles formed inside it whereas the bottled water has no or very less bubbles in it. I dont know how good or bad that is, but it proves there is a difference!!!

Now if you will excuse me i have a 2L bottle of Naya to chug down. mmmm

Put the tap water in the bottle and wallah! :sunny:

Re: Bottled Water vs Tap Water

u can always buy bottles water with flouride…especially for young children.

When i go out i grab a bottled water with me and go out.
when im at home i drink filtered water…i believe that filtered water still contains flouride…am i correct? :confused:

Re: Bottled Water vs Tap Water

The water in my part of the UK is Hard Water. I used to drink tap water for a long time. Its only in the last couple of months that I switched to Bottled Water. I think it has a positive effect on my general health. I plan to stick to it.
