If you're dead set on bottled water, look for Sobe Lifewater, just flavored water, no vitamins but typically $1/bottle, no sugar/caffeine.

This is one of the main reasons for the obesity epidemic. The cheapest foods tend to be more most calorically dense
nero4ty2
well, its really the fact that people will eat an entire 2000 calorie meal 2-3 times a day instead of spending more wisely
BlazingLotus
In many 3rd world countries people have more access to Coke products than water so some scientists created machines that reverse 1/2
BlazingLotus
Engineer the Coke products and extract the water from them.

You pay a premium for convenience. Being healthy is not convenient in today's world.

Luckily I live in a country where tap water is mostly more clean than bottled one.
DarthReznor
That's like, every country in the west
TakNoPants
If it's safe to drink depending on your location, tap water
asizzle81
Um that's why you buy a case of bottled water (pretty stinking cheap) and not individual bottles, professor...
ChimeraGryph01
I've taken cost accounting so I'll explain: The 2 liter costs less plastic and is usually not refridgerated,
ChimeraGryph01
then to the water: you are buying a label and covering marketing costs with the chilling. Also, tap water is cheaper and safer to drink
DontJewishYourOvenWasHotLikeMe
Why do people even buy water, are your taps ok? Unless it's an American thing where the water is shit or unsafe

Dentist is way more expensive than the extra $1.00 for the water.

You can get a 35 pack of the small water bottles for about $4 at walmart. Try getting them somewhere that's not a gas station
sikhpunjabi
I own gas stations, you'd be surprised at how expensive our cost is for small bottled water/soda
DumpsterSauce
Maybe you should buy the 35 packs at walmart :D
sikhpunjabi
doing that would void contracts with supplier.. I've tried lol

Ever hear of Flint Michigan? But yeah just buy a brita filter pitcher and get a reusable plastic water bottle. Total cost, $30.

If your water has a chlorine taste, let it sit out in the open for a coupe of hours and the chlorine will evaporate.
Lionskull
i'm not sure you understand how chemistry works.
thelonepig
No it does not. I tried. It's revolting, not even ok for my cats.
TheDaharMaster
Our water supply here in Oakland is tainted w lead. We installed a filter system in our house. Tap is regulated but not by much it seems.
Callistan
It is more heavily regulated than bottled water (quarterly vs. yearly tests), but some areas have terrible treatment plans.
aufkurs
Tap water is bad in my county. But! Big gallon jugs are only $1-$2 at supermarkets, then fill reusable small bottles!
Rezol
Well there's your problem. You live in a first world country that in 2017 somehow still can't provide drinkable tap water.
nero4ty2
so all of them? quality can vary widely from area to area
Rezol
Yeah sure, but that's before treatment. It should be in your government's interest to ensure its citizens have access to acceptable water.
nero4ty2
acceptable means a lot of different things to different people, drinkable could just mean safe, not "tasty"
adadsupreme
Buy a Brita filter. Or install a tap filter.

I believe in being as prepared as I can be, I would rather carry my liter of water and not need it, than spend money I didn't need to spend.

If it doesn't happen very often, a dollar here and there won't matter. Frequency is critical.

VioletMisanthropy
Why would the price not matter as much just because you didn't plan on it?
FlorbFnarb
I was referring to frequency.
frzn
Presumably because if you hadn't planned for it, it isn't a frequent occurrence.
FlorbFnarb
Exactly.

Live in Vancouver. Getting more thankful about my tap water quality every passing day.
TheDaharMaster
Yeah the Vancouver water is outstanding. Tastes like bottled!

I was in Vancouver over the weekend and you guys have some really good water for a large city, but unfortunately I've had better tap water.
HowHardCouldItBe
That's not unfortunate
crann
no, i just didn't wanting it sounding all snobby and shit. It really is good tap water for a large city, but it still taste like city water

god that made me sound country, that there city water

Pharmaceuticals are causing problems on every level in the US. Addiction, water pollution, healthcare cost, etc.........
FlorbFnarb
Yep, we should just get rid of the pharmaceutical industry. Just use herbs to cure diseases and prevent pregnancies and prevent illness...
KarlderMarder
bottled water is, depending on the brand, one of the most expernsive things in the world compared to the circumstances of it's origin
Vanesh
*discreetly sips from his 1.5L source water bottle at 0.18€*
Callistan
Also in the US, tap water is more heavily regulated and tested than bottled water. So in most areas, the tap water is actually safer.
bumwithguns
that is such a false and baseless statement lol

here in germany, there's a public discussion going on because a restaurant sells "modified tap water" for 4,20 € per liter
anonymouscoward69
Well, it is modified. They put it in a glass.

That's a lot of €

Fuck that. Water should always be customary.

TheMayorOfTittyCity
What does that mean? Are you trying to say it has the highest markup of anything in the world?
bumwithguns
It's just one of those baseless statements that feels right to say giving it a band-wagon effect
PorneliusHubertII
It means that it is pricey but is literally free flowing and naturally occurring. Biggest scam ever. Privatization of water.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
I gotta think the mark up on diamonds, also naturally occurring, is more than bottled water.
PorneliusHubertII
Diamonds aren't as readily available as water tho.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
There is a complex processing, packaging, marketing and distributing apparatus established around bottled water. Hence the 2 bucks.
bumwithguns
There is a reason people don't drink water from a pond... it's an expensive process to turn ground water into drinking water.
jadespider
Still a good ways behind printer ink.
koopaya
Prosthetic Jedi arms are less expensive than printer ink.
munkeeball
But printer ink has to be manufactured from start to finish where as water simply need filtered (maybe) and bottled.
aidanjt
More often than not it's just tap water anyway.
munkeeball
Exactly. Making the cont differential (and profit margin) greater than that of ink/toner
munkeeball
Cost* differential
aidanjt
I just hate the way they market it as if it came from some long forgotten pristine spring and scoop it out with buckets or some shit.
ErinFromTheOffice
There are thousands of things more expensive than even the most expensive bottled water (excluding $1000+ gimmick water)
Steelflameblade
I think its more about inflation of cost vs cost to produce it.
MaladaptedMedic
I mean, gallon for gallon, LSD is the most expensive liquid in the world at over $700,000,000 per gallon. Just saying
Hammettt
And here the old stupid Walter was cooking meth instead of LSD for 5 seasons
PorneliusHubertII
Higher demand for meth.
ErinFromTheOffice
Well, depends on the concentration. Pure LSD isn't a liquid.
MaladaptedMedic
It's in liquid form when it's dripped onto blotter paper. That liquid, if you got a gallon of it would cost over $700M
ErinFromTheOffice
Again, depending on concentration. You dissolve the crystal form into a solvent then drip onto paper. But the amount of solvent used varies
ChloeRed
Most other things have more complicated origins? The statement is cost vers how you get it. If printer ink fall from the sky 1/2
ChloeRed
we'd moan even more about the cost, compared to development/etc now. 2/2

You could also buy a DIET Coke.

It's at least $1 for a new gallon here, but the water kiosks are good. Tap water is undrinkable even filtered.

i've only seen it for 99cents unless you fill your own gallon for a quarter

I can get it for *free*. By which i mean its built into taxes. But not metered
SolidusPliskin
You can get a gallon jug to put it in for $.50
reallylamelol
$0.50 + 4/10ths of a cent is more still, I might as well buy the gallon jug for $0.50
Merodas
Psst. You can reuse the jug.
LivingDecomposition
But if it's meant to be disposable you probably shouldn't. To cut down on waste they make disposable plastic degradable. Leeches into water.
SmokeyDragon
Holy crap? You can reuse the jug?? How?? I think I need a DIY! /s
