Just part of a “high-fiber” diet!

Seriously though....Yuck!

In the immortal words of Roseanne Roseannadanna: Well, Jane, it just goes to show you, it's always something! If it's not one thing, it's another!

I blame globull warming.

Now with extra polymers — for extra flavor!

Worst issue with plastic containers f9r soda is taste

The slick plastic bottles have an impact on taste especiallly in heat

Rough plastic and aluminum not so much and glass has the least impact of anything on taste

My opinion

If you’re sixty you remember when it was glass or steel only

[Mercat]

Tap water - full of estrogen and anti-depressants?

[BeadCounter]

Then that will probably include the sodas we drink as well that come in plastic bottles.

[JockoManning]

Soooooooooo, “SMART WATER” is not so smart?

[Dixie Yooper]

How about milk, juice, soda, baby formula...and fruit water!

I refill my plastic bottle at the water vending machines. I don’t drink bottled water that has been sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long.

Berkey water filters
Alexa pure water filters

I presume the article is not finding issue with bisphenol-a (BPA) free bottles.

It’s a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well, I do
Hey! Who’s in charge here?

It’s a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
You know what’s in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it’s amazing

People think I’m crazy, ‘cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you’d be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world you love so much might just kill you

I could be wrong now, but I don’t think so!
‘Cause it’s a jungle out there
It’s a jungle out there!

I much prefer the imported plastic particles to the domestics......much better flavor....................

[I want the USA back]

Filter better.

Sounds like an opportunity for some enterprising soul to market a screw-on bottled-water charcoal filter.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

I never buy water. I drink it from a glass from my tap, or from drinking water fountains.

[Parmy]

First it was paper bags caused trees to die. Then the plastic bags caused sea turtles to die. Now it is plastic bottles causing us to die.

What will they think of next?

For all of your information, I am going to die, sometime.

So what. It goes in, goes out.

I deeply despise the concept of bottled water. There’s a reason God made our bodies the way He did. We’re supposed to be able to fight off stuff to build our immune systems. By demanding excess purity, we become sicker.

I’ll bet I haven’t drank more than 50 water bottles in my life. We’ve gotten some on occasion for use on a trip or in rare instances when no tap or well was available.

A few years ago, I took a group of boys to a scout camp. One of the mommies insisted on sending cases of bottled water because little precious didn’t like the taste of well water.

I refused. Let junior drink from the well. That taste is called minerals and it’s good for you.

In backcountry, I filter creek water. I once drank straight from Lake Superior. Cold and tasty.
