I don't get it, vast majority of people can't tell the difference between tap water and expensive bottled water, so why buy it?
It'd ridiculous. I have friends that work with water-related NGOs and Calgary time after time comes up as one of the top cities in the world for public water quality. In fact, all of Canada is fine. Why people drink bottled water in Canada is beyond me. We're killing this resource and needlessly driving up the price. I understand bottled water if you are travelling in a foreign country but not in Canada or the US. Tap filtered water in developing countries is the way to go. It's sad, really.
