What's in that bottle? Congress says water unclear

The beverage choice of idiots.

"Bottled water makers make millions off people who believe their products are purer than tap water, but consumers do not realize that they are less regulated than plain old tap water, according to a U.S. Congressional report released on Wednesday."

Yup.

And how stupid are the bottled water imbibers?

"'Americans are willing to pay top dollar for bottled water, which costs up to 1,900 times more than tap water and uses up to 2,000 times more energy to produce and deliver,' Michigan Representative Bart Stupak told the hearing."

But these same morons are probably unwilling to pay for their own sick care whining for government (read public) money to make them "healthy" after proving that they make bad choices.

"Joseph Doss, president and chief executive officer of the International Bottled Water Association, told the hearing that Americans drank 8.7 billion gallons (33 billion liters) of water in 2008, or 28.5 gallons (108 liters) per person.

'Sales revenues for the United States bottled water market in 2008 were approximately $11.2 billion,' Doss said. 'Bottled water consumption is about half that of carbonated soft drinks and only slightly ahead of milk and beer. (sic)...

Stupak pointed out some of the claims by bottled water makers.

'Aquamantra uses the design on its labels to affect the molecular structure of California natural spring water to make it more refreshing and wholesome to drink,' one company's website claims.

Poland Springs water talks about a polio victim who lived 52 years more after drinking water from its spring."

The next time you hear some s*ithead bottled water drinker bitching about how bad their personal economy is, do us all a favor and whup 'em upside the head.
