i did a posting on fiji water a while ago

i am not a bottled water type o' babe. i LIKE tap water. i don't like pretension. i also try not to drink out of plastic even though i get bombarded by stories telling me how safe it is

i did just buy a kleen kanteen and i LOVE it. i got the big 40 oz one. the neck is wide enough for me to put ice in it. i bring it to work every day too.


read the comments as well, on the boing boing story linked below.

The Story of Bottled Water

Mark Frauenfelder

The makers of The Story of Stuff have a new video about the "manufactured demand" of expensive bottled water. (Xeni posted a teaser a couple of weeks ago.)

When Fiji water launched an ad campaign that made fun of Cleveland tap water, the city of Cleveland ran tests comparing its water to Fiji water. "These tests showed a glass of Fiji water is lower quality, it loses taste tests against Cleveland tap water, and costs thousands of times more. This story is typical of what happens when you bottled tap water against tap water.".................
