Bottled water

Tap water isn't drinkable everywhere though...

Indeed. You can always move.

Tap water for me from now on.

Possible E.coli, Arsenic, mold, plastic particles. An industry that regulates itself.
Not to mention millions of plastic bottles in landfill.

5 Secret Dangers of Drinking Bottled Water

Numerous studies have found that multiple varieties of bottled water secretly contain harmful substances that can potentially make you sick.

Didn't Nike make millions of City shirts from these bottles. I seem to remember they stated that 26 bottles went into a shirt. I wondered that season that if I took fifty or sixty empty bottles down to the shop they'd give me a couple of shirts.

I remember when Coca Cola sold us 'filtered water'. Because it was in a plastic bottle and sold by Coca Cola we assumed it was natural spring water. After all the label said filtered so that must mean its passed through volcanic rock for 5,000 years..... yeh right.
It was tap water. That didnt stop the stupid brits, they carried on buying it !
It was only when the FSA tested it and found it contained high levels of Bromate (a cancer causing chemical) did they withdraw it.
It is still widely sold in America where standards are lower.

Oh and who remembers the first true entrepreneur, Del Boy selling Peckham Spring Water ?

Filtered through volcanic rock for 50,000 years…best before “End December 2022”

I wouldn’t say it’s shite. We’ve got high quality water in the North West.

In all UU sample testing, we scale at 0% for all risk factors with only 2% failing smell tests and 3% taste tests.

We also have soft water here which is a plus compared to some places in the country.

I filter it with a Purina filter and always drink it.

And no fucking fluoride in Manchester water.

The water here is so hard it even stains the toilet, a filter jug is not enough, i buy the large bottles for pennies and drink it quickly after opening , water is all i drink so i get through loads, i have a water meter so thinking it would cost much the same anyway, i hate the water here

Run tap, fill bottle, voila

Nah, you’re alright thanks. I’ll stay where I am and stick to the bottled water. Considering some of the shit that goes inside me I’m willing to take the risk... :-)

Yeah, but your water is called San Miguel.

Really it does, the water here is hard as a rock
