Just your periodic reminder that #bottledwater (thousands of times more expensive than tap #water) can have water quality problems. And this may just be the tip of the iceberg: FDA conducts almost no inspections of BW plants.

What's crazy is that people can be conned into buying a product freely available from their kitchen taps. At the same time, denying local communities the right to their own water and creating a massive pollution problem with the manufacture and disposal of plastic bottles afterwards.

If ever there was a wrong way to drink water then this is it.

@riggbeck @petergleick I was going to say that I'm surprised no one is selling bottled air, but a quick search shows that... of course they have.

And verify the true origin of the water. Some national brands just bottle, market & sell city tap water, even in the midst of a seven-year drought with strict resident water use restrictions. 🤬
