    Wow !!! Earth shattering news !

    I use:

    AND it comes from the tap...................

    If I am going out and am likely to die of dehydration before the day is done:

    For the price of a couple of 'bobble bottles' I can pay my months' metered water bill. The cost of manufacturing these far outweighs the cost of tap water - of which mine is filtered many times by the water company. Removing all the 'terrible additives' makes little or no difference, I have a pefectly good immune system which could be destroyed by a too-pure intake of food and water. All these gimmicks are hardly money saving!

    I don't really understand it either. Why not just drink tap water? Is it really just me who thinks bottled water tastes vaguely old and slightly of plastic?

    You spend more than £4.00 per day on just 1 bottle of water? What water is that? You know that's about £1,500 per year. To me 1 bottle of water costs...well less than a penny. Also, how is it green? Or is that just the colour of the product?

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    I was put off bottled water when I bought a TDS meter. It clearly showed that bottled water contains a lot more impurities than tap water.

    Buy a drink bottle from the 99p store and fill it with TAP water. Not only will you be drinking purer water you'll be saving money too!

    I recently saw this in my friends house! It is such a great investment! Not only do you end up saving a lot of money over time, but it you aren't wasting all of those plastic bottles every time you drink a water!
