Welcome back!

The scam of the month club awards it’s best in show to Aquafina who has been selling us water that we could be getting at home. The letters on the label read P.W.S. Now what the heck does that mean anyway? Why, it means Public Water System. That means that the company is selling tap water.

How could they do that, you say? Easy. People want to believe that the water in those bottles is good for you while the water coming from your sink is not. That just does not work for me. I have been drinking water from the kitchen sink for years. The bottled water just seemed to be much more expensive and did not appear to be better. Millions of people want to have the healthy life they thought they had. Well, now we know that it just isn’t so. I can smell lawsuits coming.

Maybe we should check out some of those other water bottle places too. I wonder how many are bottling the same thing you can find at home.
