I've always preferred tap water to bottle water, since I felt the water was just as nutritious, plus it reduced plastic waste. The fact that water was supposed to be better if it came out of a bottle seemed kind of pointless to me, since the United States spends a great deal of time purifying water in its treatment facilities.
Well, I'm happy that one company, Pepsi, is coming clean with claiming any sort of superiority with bottled water. Forbes just reported that Aquafina labels will now say "P.W.S," meaning public water source. So, is it really worth it to spend $3 at an amusement park for some water that would cost 3 cents if you filled a water bottle at home? I don't think so.
