The Story of Bottled Water

How the soda industry bamboozles us into the biggest con ever.


So...how much of this shabby, inferior, energy-guzzling, unsafe product do you buy?

It really is a scam, isn't it? I bring my own water with me everywhere I go. I have bought bottled water but only in places where bringing your own is banned and it's either buy some water or dehydrate.

I remain convinced that the ban on liquids on planes is only to drive up sales of bottled water.

I remain convinced that the ban on liquids on planes is only to drive up sales of bottled water. Agreed! They pull that crap in the Six Flags New England two miles down the road. My friend couldn't even bring in HER bottles of water. And *those* bottles were BABY bottles, to make for her daughter. Think about that a second...

The water they sold in Six Flags is Freedom Water, obviously. Bringing your own means that socialism has won and you might as well just tattoo the hammer and sickle on your forehead.

Seriously, that's just insane. Water for baby formula has to be boiled, right? You can't just use any water. And what on earth did they think your friend was going to do, pretend to bring in water for her baby and drink it herself? Actually, that's probably what they did think.
