Dasani is tap water, by the way. Literally. The "Publicly available water source" listed on the label is not a local mountain stream or something. It's the spigot from the local water works.

I'm gonna bottle some air and sell it.
Sadly, drinking tap water is looked down upon by so many people. I know too many people that stock up on water bottles. FFS, when I was Bueno Aires I got weird looks in restaurants when I asked for tap water instead of bottled water.
