do you think bottled water should cost the same as a soft drink?

i for one don't. I don't think that plain bottled water is worth that when you can always get it out the faucet. You can't get pop to come out of your faucet. and i heard that bottled water is just recycled tap water distilled. What do you think?

i think its ridiculous what they charge for water. thats why we went and bought a big container with a birta filter in it and we filter our tap water. and boy it would be cool if soda did com out of the facet lol. or out of a fountain like on mr deeds.

lol, that would be cool. I had thought about getting those Brita filters. It would save money. Thanks for your response.

that is a good idea Oreo or if you don't want to buy the Brita, just refill your bottles with the gallon water you can buy at the store for 50c. that's not too bad.

I buy alot of bottled water by the case and the cost is alot less. I don't think that it should cost as much but they are getting people to pay for it.

That is true, they do have people believing that bottled water is the best and you have to drink it. I did notice it is cheaper when you buy in bulk. I used to do that once upon a time, but now i just grab a bottled water every now and then. Thanks for your response.

I personally never buy bottled water. I have bottles of water in the fridge but what I do is fill them from the tap, let them sit overnight without a cap and the chlorine evaporates out giving them a better taste. Then I put them in the fridge to get cold.

I drink water everyday, but not nearly enough. I like my coffee in the morning to get me going. I will drink green tea after that, and then water. I do drink a lot of water. i have never thought about how much but i think i drink enough. i love water and I just like u prefer it over anything. I also do not drink coffee since I get stomach ache from it - so i will have water instead.- I have been known on occasion to add flavorings to my water that I find in the tea section, raspberry and peach flavor, to change up the taste of water.

im sorry to say but bottled water is not a neccesity it is something you choose to buy . energy drings are 2.50 a can milk costs about a dollar a 16 oz container and your not really paying for the water your paying for the pre consumer process in bottleing it. then marketing and demand drives the price up. you pay for the convienience

that's true. It shouldn't be like that. I really don't buy them as much, but I really don't drink enough water anymore either. thanks for your response.
