Do you remember.... BOTTLED WATER?
I (barely) remember in the 80's when people started getting on the bottled-water-bandwagon.
I wonder what brought that on.
Anyone know?

I don't know but if I had to take a guess it probably had something to do with the fitness revolution -

Yeah, i know of the bottle water called Dansai, (not sure if i spelled it correctly) but it was booted out of England, for being false... they were saying it comes from moutains blah blah blah, i believe pepsi is the owner of it... and they found out it was false because it was only tap water.
So they pulled alot of the water off the shelves

Yeah, I think it came about when they started scaring people with what is in our tap water. But what they fail to tell you also is that some of that stuff is actually good for you, not all of it mind you, but they sure made it sound worse than it was. And so we welcomed $2 for water in a bottle.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.

But the real question is... when bottled water took off, did public / tapwater get worse?
Bottled water = more money, more jobs.
Dirtier tap water = more sick people, more money, more (healthcare) jobs.
The economy can only gain from the above scenario.
That's my opinionated spin on it anyway.Comment

botteled water tastes better than tap water

PVC plastics became popular.
Then out of the blue people changed the word thirsty to hydrated.
Soon you were told that you must drink like 64 onces of water a day or some bullshit.
Then the nightly scary movie, err I mean news started in about the condition of your tap water. Chlorine, floride, trace elements, mermaids, fecal matter, Andy Rooneys sperm.
Soon cities were having their water conditions published with a best and worst list. Most often large populated cities where trends take start rated the worst.
Then people began buying bottled water in droves. The more natural sounding the label the better it sold.
Now people everywhere are walking around with a plastic bottle of tap water that they paid over a buck for. When in fact the water in that bottle is ussually no cleaner or different than what you would get out of any faucet, hose, or water fountain.
People are now ordering bottled water in resturants instead of drinking the free water they normally provide.
I am awaiting the day to see the first .25 cent water fountain.Comment

I used to think only a moron would pay for water, but then I moved to Indianapolis and the water here tastes like chlorine and burns my throat. I like to drink water so I buy it bottled. If I move somewhere where the tap water tastes okay, I'll go back to that.Comment

I had the worst tapwater in a restaurant the other day... that's what made me think about this.
I drink bottled water all the time, but I'll drink tap water in restaurants if it doesn't taste too bad.
But this water tasted sooooo bad I suspected they do it intentionally to get people to buy a $2 high-fructose corn syrup drink.Comment

Long ago when I was a kid I did use bottled water machines. The ones where you would deposit a quarter and it would fill your milk jug.
When it was super hot out we would stop by them, drop a quarter in and put our heads under the spicket.Comment

I drink loads of bottled water, we have our own water supply here and it can taste pretty awful - tonight I did the weekend shop and bought 12x1.5 litre bottles of water for around $6 (I drink 4-6 litres a day right now).http://www.thehungersite.comComment

We only drink distilled water, anything else tastes bad. And tap water is disgusting and sometimes even cloudy.
I don't even make my dog drink tap water all the time.Comment

Very simple answer to this. People are afraid of dying. When they see something that they think may prolong it, they jump all over it.

Well, I know in Tucson, they had a Rayon (I believe how it's spelt) in the water, and advised drinking on bottled water. Which rayon is a little amount of radiation.
