Bottled/filtered water is relatively new to mainstream.... did you kids never drink out of the hose or something?

I prefer bottled water strictly for the taste. I'd drink tap water if necessary.

I guarantee you wouldn't know the difference in a blind test.

Bottled water IS tap water.

It's true you know.

Bottled water does not come from a mystical spring deep in the Amazon. This however is what the bottled water company's want you to believe.

Everyone of my peers grew up drinkin from the hose while playing outside... no one got ill b/c of it.

I think its just another thing to weaken the immune system. The less you're exposed to (bacteria wise) the weaker your immune system will be.
