They include honor, trust, faith, and respect. As men, we seem to face an uphill battle to retain our own identity in a world that is rapidly sinking into a bubbling pit of 'don't care'.

As much as I like the convenience of bottled water... there is a reason it is so pricey (and bound to go up in price too). To be honest... all food is going to have this issue soon. So I guess my point is that we need to start finding more technology that allows us to ship stuff around without paying that hefty price. I like bottled water for it's convenience though... not really it's taste so much. I can buy a brita and use that for a lot longer than bottles obviously - and I don't like the taste of water after a while from the same bottle. They even say water molds... so make sure you wash your bottles one way or another. Well, it's my two cents on this. :) Kind Regards, -Shaina The only thing that doesn’t work about bottled water is the fact that it takes a lot of oil to ship bottled water around the country.

I wonder if the undercounter type filters available from Lowes would help with the mineral taste you mention. It solved my iron problem and only costs about $10 every 6 months to maintain.

I cant taste the difference in the two, bottled or tap? I do use a water purifier, I do not like the taste and feeling of all those chemicals left and added to my water. I do not care if it makes tour teeth better, I like pure natural clear clear water. I would never waste so much money on bottled water though, this is a complete useless thing to me.

As for why people by it bottled instead of filtering it themselves - it's easier and sometimes not much more expensive.

How about this for a reason: not all water that comes out of a tap in this country is clean and odor free. Just because you live in an area with good water doesn't mean everybody in the country does. Where I live (central California) the water comes from deep artesian wells and is so loaded up with minerals it tastes awful. “I have considered the clean odor free water that comes out of the tap a blessing and I never really understood why bottled municipal water is such a hot seller.”
