yummy bottled water

Bottled water - tastes good right? Better than tap water? It must be the plastice residue from the bottle, 'cause it turns out its just tap water, atleast in the case of Aquafina. Last week, reports revealed that Aquafina gets its water from the Missouri River after its treated by local municipal treatment plants near St. Louis. Read about it here:

St. Louis has always had good tap water - some believe that Anheuser-Busch heavily lobbies the city to maintain good water so it doesn't have to pay separate treatment costs. Still, tap water in most communities is probably close enough in quality. The Aquafina folks don't make much of an effort to defend their product.
