Great post indeed! did someone know that As for "Berg" water at $4 a bottle for 24 ounces, which is about $20 a gallon, these are the same people that complain about $4 gasoline.

Thank you for this article. One note on accuracy: the source article estimates the water's age to be 1,000 - 3,000 years old. This article on Treehugger says 3,000 - 10,000 years old. I'm just wondering if there are any other sources for this article other than the Copenhagen post where the older dates might have come from.

Thanks!

Hi, Gavin:

I did look at quite a few other sources for the article, as it was quite difficult to find web sites for the companies or entities mentioned. I can't supply and overall authority for the age of the water, however.

Yes, bottled water is a fad. I can see bottled water for trips and things, but bottled water for everyday at home use is waste. If water is that bad at your house, I would suggest getting the larger 3 or 5 gallon jugs of water where the bottles are recycled. (Hmmm, we are told not to reuse the bottles, but it is ok to reuse the jugs which are also plastic).

As for "Berg" water at $4 a bottle for 24 ounces, which is about $20 a gallon, these are the same people that complain about $4 gasoline.

But to each their own, if you need "Berg" water to make you feel rich, or it pumps up your ego, great, go for it, someone is making a lot of money off of you.

Now for the real issue, how come I didn't think of and patent "Berg" water. Maybe I can bottle water from Loch Ness and call it Loch Ness Monster water, or Angel Falls water, or Niagara Falls water. It is all about the gimmick, the sales pitch, and the hype.

Funny, I see a Fuji ad on Treehugger right now.

I guess treehugger needs to make money too and it does not care were it comes from.

Bottled water is like organic food, a status symbol people are willing to shell out big bucks for even though there are completely safe, cheap alternatives.
