Bottled water around 400x more costly than tap

Bottled water is America's favorite packaged beverage. We spend $16 billion a year on it, according to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, but do consumers know what they're actually paying for?

We're being scammed by bottled water, China virus, the George Floyd death, the food industry, the diet industry, the drug industry, the medical experts. Are we starting to see a pattern here?

Tap water comes from an infrastructure that is very cost-efficient, at delivering water abundantly at very low cost, anywhere a tap is available. Even if bottled water comes from the tap water source, the costs are much higher to bottle it, label it, and distribute it.

As a construction worker, bottled water is often what is available on sites, where the tap water infrastructure is not yet functional. Yes, it costs my employer much more to provide us with bottled water, than it would cost for us to drink tap water, but there's really no way for it to be very much otherwise.

It's not about whether the water obtained in one form is any better or worse than in another form; it's about water being made available where the infrastructure is not yet in place to make it available in the much less expensive form.

Now, in nearly all cases, if you believe that what you are getting by drinking bottled water is any better than what you'd get out of a tap, if available, then yes, that's a scam.

That would depend on where you are naturally.
Here in Arkansas our tap water comes straight out of our well and literally tastes like spring water, but 70 miles down the road in Louisiana and parts of Texas, the oil and gas industry ruined the ground water.

So, call it a scam or an ingenius marketing strategy , but just look at the US and Canada for example. Not counting Antarctica we in North America have the largest fresh water supply on the planet, and we still spend 10's of billions on bottled water annually.

Canada is richly endowed with non-renewable and renewable freshwater resources. With 563 large lakes across the country, Canada has more lakes than any other country in the world, giving us an impressive non-renewable water supply. The Great Lakes, which are shared between Canada and the United States, are the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world and account for 18 per cent of the global stock of fresh surface water.

Most Canadian rivers have exhibited normal or above-normal water quantity.

The Environmental Impacts of Plastic Water Bottles

The water bottle industry: an industry that thrived on consumerism and exceeded the boundaries of luxury by becoming an essential item in an average person's life. Despite the fact that tap water is declared safe for consumption by the EPA, 1500 plastic water bottles are being used every second...

it makes one wonder how we survived for thousands of yrs without bottled water,,,

The popularity of bottled water is a tacit admission that millions upon millions of people can't trust gubmint to deliver to them something as basic as reliably clean water.

Yet an absurdly large number of these same people somehow believe that gubmint will do a better job at being fully in charge of medical care.

When we have fossil fuel shills working at the EPA, it is a bit troubling. But we trust the FDA to make sure the bottled water is good ?
