"CEO of Nestlé Waters North America, in charge of U.S. sales of Perrier, San Pellegrino, Poland Spring and a portfolio of other regional spring waters. Combined, his brands will sell about $4.5 billion worth of water this year, generating roughly $500 million in pretax profit."

Maybe we should be in the water biz. Perfectly safe and clean water is available for free out of the tap, yet people are still willing to spend LOTS of money on it. Insane!

Man, I cannot believe how much people spend on their water! I understand trying to be healthy and make sure you drink water, but sometimes folks go overboard. I agree with you dude, we should all go into the water business!!!

Pepsi admitted what industry watch dogs have long suspected: Aquafina bottled water is really the same thing that you get from your tap. The nation's largest selling bottled water comes from municipal water sources and is no different than what you have at home.

When asked what made their product better than what you had in your own kitchen, Pepsi said that "our's comes in clean, bright, plastic bottle that looks a lot better than your old Tupperware cup."

In the wake of these allegations, Nestle admitted that their Pure Life water wasn't really that pure and that there probably was "life" in it as it was tap water also. Not to be outdone, Evian said that their water was not really tap water, as "we don't know any tap water that tastes as bad as our crap."

Bottlers in Arkansas proudly admitted that their number one regional selling H2OG Water really did come from run off in pig farms and was as "pure as an old sow's piss."
