Related, big time.
^Yes, you're getting tap water from somewhere else. The implication I guess is tap water is exactly the same everywhere, and all contains heavy metals and bacteria, when the show admits only 1/3 of bottled water products contained those elements. Yes, that is a surprising statistic for sure, but that's consumer ignorance in buying phony products, not that there aren't bottled water products that do have better purity.
This sort of thing is great evidence for why regulatory bodies exist in the first place. A lot of right-wings say that consumers will look out for themselves... but they don't. They trust that the products that get are what they think they're getting, and if they aren't, that they can sue someone. Too bad for them when they fall into the gap where the corporation isn't legally doing anything wrong and yet the consumer isn't getting what he/she thinks they're getting.
