fabioWe are very close to inventing water from first principles
Bytebro 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇬🇱Related: I recall someone said not that long ago basically that "These companies do not sell you bottled water. They sell you plastic bottles".
There's always rain-water, or tap-water, of course. And not infrequently, the bottled water can have more contaminants than either of the other two.
Finally, I vaguely remember a TV comedy sketch years ago (sorry, can't remember what series, but in the UK. _Not The Nine O'Clock News_, perhaps?) where they re-did the Volvic advert thing banging on about 'filtered through ancient rocks for thousands of years, blah blah', and then the narrator asks "so why does every bottle come stamped with a best-before date six months from now?" - or similar; haven't done my searches sorry, but you get the point!
