Tap Water Returns!!!

[Bill Call]

I never could understand the appeal of three dollar a bottle still water. I guess water with gas has some nutritional value or taste appeal but bottled tap water?

Anyway, the left coast is leading the way again:

Bill, nice posting!

But this is, after all, Lakewood!

We have so many "watering holes" in this town that we'll drink just about anything "on tap"!

There was an interesting show on Penn and Teller's B.S., where they showed how several top selling brands of "spring water" was in actuality nothing more than tap water due to a flaw in the F.D.A's laws governing labeling.

Anyone want to join me in forming a company to bottle and sell "Wood Water"?

If we simply go down to Lake Erie and fill the bottles we can honestly say that we did not use any carbon producing methods to produce Woodwater.
Then we would be able to sell carbon credits as well as the water.

As to labeling: I just read somewhere that a chicken that is in a cage 23 hours and 50 minutes a day is consider "range" chicken". ,People will then pay $5.99 a pound instead of $1.29 a pound.

I am going by memory so it might actually be slightly more or less.

Is the Minnihaha bottling plant still downtown? It always amazed me that people bought "natural spring water" from a plant that obviously just used filtered city water.

Although I think they would have had a bigger cult following had they changed the name to "Burning River Water".

I've always wondered what kind of idiot wrote the labeling laws.

My personal favorite was always Diet Pepsi listing it's 12oz can as having 2.5 servings.
