I am about sick and tired of bottled water. I am not sure where I was when this became all the rage. People carrying Nalgene bottles full of water was cool for a little while, but now it has gone one step further--individual disposable bottles of water.Now I know and acknowlege that I am usually in the fading years of almost all things fashionable and so it is no surprise that I am just now getting around to accepting that people actully buy this stuff. Maybe it is because I lived in Idaho/Utah for so much of my life. I think people in Idaho were still wearing MC Hammer pants when people elsewhere where sporting Abercrombie and Fitch.
The Michelle Woodbury side of the Kyle Woodbury family started buying water when we moved to Chicago. Water here costs between 79 cents to $1.99 for most water that I have seen. That is more than 5 cents per ounce! I am paying only 2.3 cents per ounce for gas for our cars. I think West Chicago City charges 1.5 cents per GALLON. Next time someone complains about how much money oil companies are making they had better not be drinking from a bottle of water.
Here are the facts:
- bottled water isn't a good price
- bottled water isn't proven to be better for you
- bottled water creates more garbage (and I am not a green person)
As for me...I will keep drinking from the fridge filter. (even though it takes like 2 minutes to fill a small cup)
