Here's an idea for those with bad tap water. Only cost $50.00.

True. Of course, one has to remember to change the filter on those things.

We can all rest assured... knowing that Aquafina is nothing more than City of Detroit Tap Water... which is supposedly the best in the world...

I heard about this last week. I guess this explains why Aquafina so nasty. I prefer my tap to Aquafina any day. There's just something about Aquafina that never tasted right and I always avoided buying it.

Simply tho its well water.

Here in Atlanta, Ga. "purified water is a biggie." We're informed its recycled tap water, with add processing steps to remove some of the chemicals etc.

Another "health foods" term that requires diligent vigilance? Organic. Peep at the varied "legal" definitions. And steps required to receive gov't approved labeling. We were/are looking into it; meanwhile we've thought to just call our vegetables "home grown." I can explain our techniques. Don't bleeve me? No problema, don't buy!
Speak on it Brotha Kwame. Lately, there is plethora of false advertising going on. This great play of words is put out there to pull the wool over our eyes. And our people have to be savvy as consumers to see through the large piles commercial propaganda .

I believe we still do although, they have been working on getting Flint it's own. Aquafina is still nasty as hell to me though. I prefer my own tap water over that anyday no matter where it comes from. I don't know anyone who likes Aquafina.
