But the tap water phenomena also makes perfect sense. I mean, if Coca-Cola Inc. and Pepsi Co. already have distribution channels functioning with their other products, bottling water and shipping to out would be so convenient and apparently profitable.

And I thought, seriously, I could charge you less than that for a bag of dirt from my back yard and you'd probably be just as happy, and my grin would be alot bigger. Although on the water thing, we used to live in AZ and tap water tasted like it was from a cess pool. So I totally see how the industry grew there.

However you can save yourself a ton of money by purchasing a reverse osmosis system and having it installed in your home by a plumber. Here is a link to some product information on Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems. I googled it and this is one of the first links that came up randomly. http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/ remember, not all "tap" water is as safe as you think it is. However you can have the same quality water as aquafina or dasani by purchasing one of these systems, and you can save your self a lot of money by no longer having to go to the water and ice stores or buying bottled water anymore. Just be sure to change the filters in the Reverse osmosis system once a year and your good to go.

His water tastes really good and a friend jokingly said he ought to sell it. So, he did. I'm not going to say the name of his company, but he's well known around here by his company's name. So, I know what you're talking about. My water is well water. I'd rather drink that, thank you. I have to upkeep the well anyhow. Might as well use it.
