I understand the need for a few gallon jugs of water in the house when there is a problem with the local municipalities filtered water, or in preparing for a storm which will knock out such services (Hurricanes). Otherwise shipping water hundreds, even thousands of miles in tiny plastic bottles is just insulting to everyone with a modicum of intelligence. I have even heard of bottled water marketed for pampered pets, when will the madness end? IF I drank water, which I rarely do, it is (and has been) a choice at many convenience stores at their fountain drink counter, most have a small "Water" button alongside one of the many soda choices.

Sheeple have a strong tendency to think bottled water is somehow safer or more natural than filtered tap water, regardless of crazy things like facts.
