We also weren't told the temperature of the samples, nor how long they'd been left standing (the chemical odour from tap water disappears some minutes after it is poured, and the colder it is, the harder it is to taste any impurities).
Yes, spring water, yada yada.
You can argue against chlorination and fluoridation, but not that Coke's bottling plant is better water than what comes out of your tap.
Anyway, did the waiter call the water he had taken the liberty of bringing, "Agua del culo"? That basically is Spanish for "Ass water". Ja ja.
By the way, is it just me, or is the level of commentary getting more, well, hostile lately?
I love it.
Plus, they have recalls on certain bottled products with dangerously high bacertia content. (You could argue the 'boil alerts' but that isn't not that common).
Plus, bottled water doesn't monitor heavy metals, etc.
City tap water can have no confirmed E.coli or fecal coliform bacteria. FDA bottled water rules include no such prohibition (a certain amount of any type of coliform bacteria is allowed in bottled water).
----------
By law, municipal water supplies must supply its customers a chemical analysis of their water composition.
----------
In compliance with FDA regulations, bottlers must submit water samples, to either in-house or outside testing labs, to be analyzed for physical, chemical and radiological parameters on an *annual* basis.
Only 25 percent of bottled water comes from municipal sources. The remaining 75 percent of bottled water sold in the U.S. comes from natural underground sources, which include springs and wells.
* Mineral Water - This type of water contains at least 250 parts per million total dissolved solids (TDS). It comes from a source tapped at one or more bore holes or spring, and originates from a geologically and physically protected underground water source. No minerals may be added to this water.
* Purified water - This type of water has been produced by distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis, or other suitable processes. Purified water may also be referred to as "demineralized water." It meets the definition of "purified water" in the United States Pharmacopoeia.
* Sparkling Water - This type of water contains the same amount of carbon dioxide that it had at emergence from the source. The carbon dioxide may be removed and replenished after treatment.
* Spring Water - This type of water comes from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the Earth's surface.
So - that takes away a bit of his credibility as an impartial taste-tester. I'm calling bullshit on Bullshit.
