Water in a bottle baby

No its not gas.   But one could argue that it is the genie that got out.  I mean this title is not just a new made up one hit pop number.  It is in fact not Pop but the law of large numbers.  Very large.  And I mean with no gas.  As in drinking water bottles topped the ones that had the fizz.  Until recently.

In the past year Americans drank more bottled water than its bubbly counterpart aka soda or pop or soft drinks.  Think 12 billion gallons of it.  That is a lot of water.   I had a part to play.  About 500 gallons worth.  I mean I like the convenience of it.  Again my friends in the green earth movement argued that it is no safer or cleaner than tap water.

Well, I would not agree entirely.  First if you were in Flint, Michigan you might be dead.  If you were in many other parts of the US the tap water would taste downright putrid or foul.  For consistency anywhere I vote bottled water.  I am not brand conscious.  I vote for the bottle.  The ease and value trumps anything else, flat out.  Thirst quenching miracle, guaranteed taste, in a convenient carry on size container and when bought in bulk costs less than 10 cents for half liter.

I am quenched alright.
