Considering it comes right out of the tap and falls freely from the sky, it’s a little depressing to think about how much we pay for bottle water. It’s sort of a sad commentary on the state of the world and what we’ve done to environment; we’ve dumped so much pollution into the ocean and into our waterways that we have to actually buy sanitized water in order to feel safe about drinking it. But I’m sick and tired of paying almost two dollars for a modest sized bottle at the grocery store; what’s a premium price tag doing on a basic necessity? It doesn’t have any added nutrients or chemicals and it won’t get you drunk or high, so why the hell are you paying so much for it?
Because it’s clean and comes in a fancy bottle and was bottled at the peak of some fancy mountain in some far off land? Heck, some bottled water isn’t even that: it’s just municipal tap water that’s been filtered. You know that joke about bottled air? Don’t think it can’t happen; there’s a proven formula for selling a widely available commodity in place already thanks to the bottled water industry. Just wait until pollution gets so bad that we’re all walking around with rebreathers on; some company is going to bottle purified air and sell it to you for a premium price and we’ll all line up to buy it. God, I hate humanity sometimes
