Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

1. Buy a filter.
2. Put it on sink faucet.
3. Viola, filtered tap water!
Or if you have a fridge that has a little dispenser for water, put a filter in!
It is much cheaper, and is probably cleaner, than bottled water.

In my opinion, I don't care who laughs last or first. As long as I laugh in the process, everything is good.

I only drink bottled water when I'm out doing something and I didn't bring anything to drink. Otherwise I just drink tap, and I'm pretty sure my mom fills up empty bottles with tap as well.

It tastes nicer, and is usually high in mineral content that's good for the skin. Plus I can buy it when I'm out; if I go for a run down to the gym, I don't have to lug a bottle with me, I can just pop into the shop nearby and spend 50p on a bottle of water.

I don't have it at home or anything, but if I'm thirsty and there's no tap around I'll always choose it over coke or coffee.

It's a waste of money... best to just invest in a water filter and refill bottles.


That's precisely what I do. Most of the time I don't even filter it. I just pour tap water into a bottle. Bottled water is convenient if I'm somewhere where there's no water fountain or the only water source is a public bathroom sink or something..

It's a waste of precious resources. So many barrels of oil are wasted making bottled water that will probably end up in the ocean.

Tap water actually tastes nicer, IMO. I can understand why someone would buy bottled water, though. Say if it was a hot day, I'm dying of thirst with no access to a tap, I'll get a bottle.

What confuses me most is that bottled water in stores has a sell by date on the cap, and then on the label it has something along the lines of filtered through mountains for 20 years.

It's useful for when there's no running water. Dumbass.

Faucet water is putrid... I don't even give that stuff to my dog......

Flowing water will never 'go bad', but when it sits, in this situation in a plastic bottle, it turns 'bad' after a period of time...

well not really 'bad', just not as pure as it was prior to the date.

Tap water is regulated by the EPA which has stricter standards than the FDA, which regulates bottled water.

So, I'll stick with tap water.

I love bottled water. It's all I drink.

My tap water tastes terrible.

If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

I always bring a bottle with me to school. Never have to leave class when something important is going on.

Also, in a natural disaster when your power goes out, what you gonna do?

Away from home . . . want water.


Buy it in a bottle from a store. Easy for me.

Rarity FTW

If you would like to drink from the river, go for it. Yes, the concept of bottled water seems stupid, but in the world we live in it's almost a necessity.

Yeah Winter.. it's coming.

I love The Flood. It's my go to place for relaxation. If anyone needs me, then I'll be there.

It's beyond stupid.

Some of you clearly don't understand what the word exception means.

Please google it.
