Ah, the shiny plastic bottle. Do you think it’s from a magical mountain spring? Sometimes it is. But often… not really.
A shocking amount of bottled water is just tap water that’s been filtered again. Seriously. Look at the label. Some brands literally come from municipal supplies.
You’re paying a thousand times more for the same H2O that comes out of your kitchen sink. But hey, it has a cool mountain picture on it, so it feels special, right?
The Sneaky Source
Here’s a dirty secret: your tap water is actually more regulated than bottled water. The EPA watches your tap water like a hawk.
The FDA watches bottled water like… a less-interested hawk. So don’t feel bad about filling up a reusable bottle. You’re probably drinking the safer option.
