Bottled Water - Who buys it?

[Talapia]

lemon or lime. Got hooked on mineral

though.

[fisherkid]

only water I'll drink

[Rockstar]

You guys drink water? :eek: That stuff don't have an akahol content!

Just kiddin... I say if its safe to drink the tapwater where yah live, drink it up. I actually like the way my tap tastes, especially in the winter. Nothin like wakin up with a hangover, stickin yer head under the faucet and chuggin that ice cold water.

If you think bottled water is bad, how 'bout oxygen bars?

With all the types of filters you can buy now a days why buy bottled water.
Get a filter and it will be cheaper in the long run.

We used an NSA filter for a couple of years. They are cannisters that sit on the counter.

Water had a great taste.

I bought mine new on eBay other than from a rep because they are sold via MLM marketing and carry too big a pricetag to pay everyone in the downline. ;)

We have been buying bottled water out here. Seems everyone does, but the tap water is not bad. Think it has to do with the water company's marketing techniques.

My wife makes me poor buying that small bottled water. She brought home three cases last time and every time I look, a kid has a new bottle open when they still have a half-full bottled they opened earlier.

No more of that crap! :mad:

We have a PUR filter, but the flow is a joke. Takes forever to fill a glass and the taste is not that much different.

May start drinking water in my aquarium. A little fishchit, but it's charcoal filtered delicious natural goodness!

To ya health, maties... Drink up! Arrrrrrrgh! :D

I drink bottled water when I'm fishing, but it's more for the convenience of the container than the water itself. At home, I just drink out of a PUR water filter.

Funny thing is, bottled water is unregulated and often contains more harmful chemicals than your average tapwater.

[shaggy]

Me, I am with the Sandflea on this one. At home, straight tap water, but during fishing season, 24 pack, stock up when on sale (can find Deer Park and Dasani on sale for $3.99 a 24 pack), so usually carry a 24 of water, a 24 of light beer, and 8 - 10 small Gatorades when fishing. If room in bait cooler or drink cooler, I also sometimes bring food to eat!

Have Jeep will travel :D

[the rhondel]

Yeah shaggy,I catch those $3.99 sales too.I'm stocked!...the R

[pensfan]

When I'm not drinking beer or coffee(that leaves a small window:D ) I prefer ice cold water to just about any soft drink. If I'm on the road I'll always stop for a Liter of bottled water. But I've also been known to refill 'em with plain old tap water then freeze them.

You have all likely noticed that Al has not posted in this thread to promote his choice of bottled "water" ...

Perhaps that's because he does not drink "water" :D

I have heard a rumor that Bud Light provides all the nutrition a body needs and creates water via reverse osmosis through the kidneys, then drank via a convenient natural fountain. :--|

THAT TOO. I ALSO READ THAT SPRING WATER DOSENT REALLY HAVE TO EVER COME FROM A SPRING.

[1fishinmusician]

I see it as a huge scam. I think all the bottled water co. owners are laughin all the way to the bank!

[Talapia]

I know one thing...the home water filters,
are an eye openner. I replace the filters
at work when they get full. They actually
get soo full of crap that the water out of
the faucet will just trickle out because all
of the gunk in there blocks the flow...
disgusting!

[Orest]

Nice to have around when you lose power and you have a well.

[Talapia]

When I lived in Turkey we used to keep
a large barrel of water in the house due
to all the power outages. Needed them
to "flush" the toilet. :--|

[Orest]

for a bad storm in the area, I filled the both tubs, as many 5 gallon buckets I can find.

Got to flush.

And fill 2 - 5 gallon water jugs for brushing of the teeth, tea/coffee, dogs/cats water bowls.
