Bottled Water
When I think of bottled water I think
of hot tennis players gulping it down between matches. There certainly is a
stigma about bottled water. Sometimes I think that one of the things around
it is, rich people drink it. We see all of these rich famous people on
television drinking it. Bottled water certainly has become popular. There is
no doubting that. I go to the store and I see more brands than I can keep
track of. I'll admit that I have drank a few bottles of this stuff in my
day. Mainly I get it if I am out and not near home to get a drink of water.
If I am out walking or exercising and don't have a water source near by.
Is bottled water a rip off? The short answer is yes. There is nothing great
about it. The only thing that is great about it is how it has been marketed.
They tell us it is the best thing that we can get. It is something we all
should drink. You have to keep in mind that these companies are in the
business of making money. Their goal is to sell you bottled water. Even if
you don't need it.
Is bottled water better for you than tap water? No, it certainly isn't. In
fact, most bottled water is just tap water. It is filtered and purified so
it doesn't have the taste that the water from your tap has. Anything that
will get you to drink more water is great. Though, you must realize that it
is nothing more than a waste of money. You aren't getting something that
your body will jump for joy when it gets.
You have to watch what you buy though. Some bottled water has things added
to it. Sometimes they will add sugar or other flavorings to it. If it
doesn't taste like pure water, there is something added to it. Sometimes the
water will come from a spring or a mountain river. Is this any better for
you? Not really. There might be some minerals in it that tap water won't
have. But for the most part it is just the same, but more expensive.
You like the taste of bottled water but you don't like the taste of your tap
water. What do you do? For starters, I would suggest that you don't run to
the store to get more bottled water. There are many products that you are
use to filter your tap water. One of my favorites is the pitcher with the
filter in it. I'm sure you have seen these on television before. When you
pour the water, it goes through a filter.
These tend to be less expensive and easy to use. It doesn't take much brain
power to be able to fill a pitcher with water. Check your local shop, I'm
sure that you will find one there. There are also filters that you can put
right over your faucet. These tend to be the best thing to use. They are
easy to use and easy to replace the filters. You can get these at any
Wal-Mart or store like that.
There is always the water filtering system. You know, the ones with the
pellets and all that garbage. Personally, I think these are a pain in the
ass. I don't know why people get these instead of the smaller faucet units.
I know that some people have to use these because of the condition of their
water. Sometimes the water is too hard and you need to soften it. Though,
that does sound like a plot for a porno movie.
If you don't like the taste of your water, try filling up the empty bottles
that you have from the bottled water with tap water. Stick them in the ice
box and get them nice and cold. You will notice that when cold, the water
has a different flavor. You might find this to be drinkable. I know your
wallet will thank you.
The problem I see with the bottled water is, it is too expensive. They are
charging you an arm and a leg for something you can get next to free. Why
should you pay for it? Well, you shouldn't. I don't know why people don't
feel guilty for buying bottled water. It is one step up from going to a
whore.
You should stop drinking the bottled water and see how much money you save
just for one month. I find it crazy that there are people around the world
dying of starvation and disease and we pay a dollar or more for a bottle of
water. That seems so crazy to me.
