Bottled Water

when was the last time you had a bottle of water? yesterday , the day before, today, an hour ago? I won't lie; I'm as guilty as the next. I had a bottle of Aquafian this morning. why isn't government regaled controls for drinking water good enough for us? we think this water is better than the water that comes right of the tap, that's why!
growing up, bottled water seems only a blurb, barley memorable. if you were thirsty you went to the sink, and got a drink, of cool refreshing WATER. the only reason one would buy water from the store, was for laundry. that's right, distilled water for your iron. why else would you spend hard earned cash on something that was available seemingly for free? Americans would rather pay for a resource that is offered free? as it is 28.9% of all beverages sold in the united states is battles water. (wiki, 2009)
even during these hard economic times, it seems Americans are wealthy enough to have the best of the best. Honestly regular old tap water will do for me. for some it won't. are some people afraid to drink from a drinking fountain? after all that's, isn't that what made Rome famous? drinking water for the masses. to me it seems a fad. when everything is all said and done, people will return to tap water. at the same time though; I hope America remains so prosperous that we can continue to purchase drinking water for a buck, when we can get it for free from any tap!
