    Love this article, but they kinda bury the lede making the Coca-cola joke about bottling and selling water.

    Most bottled water you buy in stores is, in fact, tap water. If you think they’re getting it from a mountain spring, even if there’s a mountain on the label, you would be mistaken. You wouldn’t want mountain water (with bear piss) anyway, the water you buy bottled is filtered and treated. It’s good tap water, but it’s still tap water. So next time your water bottle runs out, just refill it from the tap. Assuming your tap water is potable and doesn’t taste like shit.

      That’s only correct if it’s labeled as “purified water.” If it says “spring water,” then it came from a mountain spring.

      The thing about being bottled at the source, is that it’s upstream from all the “bear piss.”

      I grew up drinking mountain spring water. It’s way better than “bear piss”. Filtered and treated doesn’t mean better. Some natural water from springs is perfectly fine.

      I definitely want mountain water, it’s delicious. 100x better than any bottled water.
