Stefan don't ever put things into perspective for me ever again!!! hehe I think I'd rather go around b!tching about how "much" gas costs than knowing that a gallon of Pepto is going to cost $123.:no: :no: :no:

Either way it still sucks paying for all of that.

Normally I wouldn't argue with that...but then I moved to Pittsburg, KS. The tap water here is so fucking vile I can barely even cook with it and I absolutely will not drink it in any sizeable quantity. Just go to WalMart and buy a case of generic bottled water. It's like $3 for 12 bottles and it tastes the way water back home tastes...that is to say it doesn't taste like pool water like the tap here does.

shit you think evain water is expensive? saratoga water was like $4- $7 for a 8-12 oz bottle if i remeber right (imported from a french spring i believe) we had it at a resturant my friends dad owned. i only drank it a few times, but damn... that water was amazing.

and after drinking tap water from orlando, i will never say water is water.

i envy you guys who can use regular gas. its so expensive to fill my car up with 91+ octane every time i need gas ;(

Lots of people. Bottled water is, I believe, the fastest growing beverage market right now.....and it's getting big.

I don't always drink bottled water, but the tap water here tastes like my fish tank used to smell....even filtered it still isn't that tasty. Not to mention bottled water is, in many places, safer than the tap water to drink. You can't always have a filter with you everywhere you go.....so bottled water is a good alternative.

I buy bottled water and refill the bottles for a few days to stretch out their usefulness.....but bottled water can be, as mentioned, very cheap. I don't know why anybody would buy Evian over generic bottled drinking water......
