    That's not true. I'm sure one of its employees drove a Lincoln at some point in time.

    Martin: OK, piglet, start squealing. Where'd you get the lemons for this lemonade?
    Boy: Uh...this is Country Time lemonade mix. There's never been anything close to a lemon in it, I swear!

    That's exactly what I do. It sure as hell saves money not having to buy all those freaking bottles all the time, either.

    I buy one if I'm at the store and am parched. Otherwise, my brita pitcher works just fine.

    I saw a homeless guy outside of Yankee Stadium selling bottled water for a dollar. We all know where it came from, and I'm just shocked that he's smarter than 99 percent of the people with homes.

    There a Scandinavian city, I believe, that started selling their own bottles and told people just to fill them up with tap because they said their water was just as good, or better, than the bottled crap. I wanna say there was some recycling or cleaning of the bottles going on, but really all you're paying for in a bottled water is convenience. People don't tote around a squeeze bottle they refill all day.

    I buy lots of bottled water and use each bottle only once, throwing it into the garbage when I'm done with it. Sometimes, I wash my hands with it instead of drinking it.

    I think of all those plastic bottles sitting in the landfill and I get a little smile on my face thinking about the landfill worker I'm helping to stay employed.

    If you'd recycle it, you could employ about six people, including the 10-year-old in China who sews together some nice sans-a-belt slacks out of it.

    The New York Times did a story about tap water being the newest trend at fancy restaurants. Some of them pump their own sparkling water. The tap water here, I might as well be drinking out of a rusty hose coming out of goatse's ass.

    Then why in the hell does a bottle of water cost more than a bottle of soda pop?

    Marketing.
    I disagree with the story Boots posted.

    Nowhere on the bottle does it say spring water.
    Do you need to be told?
    If it's spring water, it says so.
    If not, it won't.
    This Corporate Accountability group has way too much time on their hands.
