5 Dirty Secrets About Bottled Water
It’s dinner time on a hot summer day. And you have a choice of bottled or tap water to go with your meal. Which do you choose? Well, if you’re like most people in the developed world, you’ll go for the bottled water. After all, it seems safer, cleaner, and it costs money, so it must be better, right? Well, not necessarily. There’s actually more to bottled water than meets the eye.
First of all, it’s expensive. For example, Americans spend almost 12 billion dollars a year on bottled water. And global sales of bottled water each year are around 60 billion dollars. Ounce-for-ounce, that makes it more expensive than gasoline! So for all that money, we must be getting something that tastes great, right? Well, not true. Blind taste tests prove that people cannot tell the difference between bottled water and plain tap water. And in some tests, people actually prefer tap water.
Next, bottled water must be healthier than tap water, right? While this is true in many areas of the world, in most developed countries, it’s often not the case.
Smart Banana collected 5 facts about bottled water and its manufacturers which will prove that we were being cheated all this time.
