I interrupt the normally scheduled music flame wars to ask an important question.
What's the deal with Fiji bottled water?



Do people who drink Fiji water honestly believe that Fiji water is somehow more pure and good for you than, say, Schenectady water?

1. A few important points on bottled water:
1) The standards for "bottled water" are equivalent for tap water.
2) Both Coke and Pepsi have admitted that Evian and Aquafina are "municipal water".
3) Evian is NAIVE spelled backwards.
4) Spring water just has to come from "a spring" - even if it is disgusting (still has to meet "municipal water standards")
5) Distilled water is actually the only thing you can buy that has a clear meaning - it is distilled and that's as pure as you'll get.

Put that in your bong and smoke it! (No kittens)

3. Oh, you want to use distilled or at least home filtered.
Of course, I quit that shit and threw out the 2' bong (yes, it was that tall) about 20 years ago to clean out before starting our family, and we just used tap water back then - or whiskey if we didn't need to go anywhere for a few days.

12. Hey, when you are shoveling 2 feet of snow, you end up in a t-shirt and have a beer parked in snow.

7. Spring water does taste better than "drinking water"
At least from the providers around here.
