Aquafina is Tap Water! TAP WATER!!!

Icy…cold…refreshing…Aquafina…is TAP WATER. Anybody else surprised?

Here’s how it goes: We pay taxes, some of which go to creating clean water. Pepsi co then uses that clean water that we’ve already paid for (Public Water Source), has plastic bottles manufactured (just what we need to be using our petroleum resources on…), slaps a picture of crystal blue mountains on it, and sells it back to us at $1.50 a pop. Brilliant!

And guess what? Most of that other bottled water you buy on the daily (Dasani, anything by Nestle)? It’s tap water! You fools! Of course it’s always been this way, Pepsi’s just now changing the labels so they can’t get called out hard on misleading their consumers. (Now’s a good time to look up Bill Hicks’ rant on marketing.)

The CNN story.

I kinda feel like Charlton Heston’s character in Soylent Green…
