Yeah, that figure is something I’ve used ever since I sold Fuller Brush door to door in the early 70’s. It was easier to sell those expensive brushes to poor people than upper middle class people. It caused me to coin the following phrase:
“The difference between poor people and rich people is that rich people know that you spend your money a dollar at a time.”
Bottled water....
I see two primary reasons why people pay for bottled water.
1. OSHA created a unreal fear of water can water on jobs, so bottled water is now preferred
2. Cities ocassionally having bad tasting water, mostly due to A. Gov. insistance on excess chlorine residual in potable water and B. inept treatment plant operators over-dosing chlorine to all the water so to have the “correct” residual in the far reaches of their system
#1 planted the “bad water” idea and #2 backed it up.
When outside the USA, I too am a 100% bottled water user, because in most of the planet drinking water is not safe.
