NYC tap water in bottles
-
here's something..
A new bottled water company is selling NY tap water in bottles and filling up people's empties as a way of spreading the word that tap is good, it's better for the environment than shipping bottles in from Fiji, it's fun, it's blablabla. You get the idea.
why the hell do people buy water in bottles in places like the US and in Singapore?
it's not only terrible for the environment, it's a waste of money... our water is cleaner than the stuff in the bottles!
okay.. own up.. who buys bottled water in Singapore?
-
Only when I forget to bring my water bottle out... Hehe.
-
Ahhh... marketing....
Package any dumb old thing properly, put a positive spin to it, and there will be people stupid enough to buy it.
In all honesty, I'm sick and tired of sales pitches telling me about how I need to install water filters to my tap and tell all sorts of horror stories about the chlorine in it.
Some MLM fellas ( I talked about that before) tried to pull that trick off on my family..... and when I told them that Singapore's water exceeds WHO standards, and the rationale behind adding chlorine.... they had absolutely no answer to my retort.
Sheesh. I've been drinking tap water for all my life. All my water parades in the army involved tap water.
If it's really as bad as they make it out to be, I'd be on my deathbed by now.

agreed..!1...drinking from toilet's tap seems unhygienic to me although it is declared safe from the environment..I'd rather spend 60cents buying bottled water....hehe..just to play safe mah....

new water?i don't know what is the people's problem with it...
the PUB gave us a pile of the stuff to promote it.. people refuse to drink the stuff.. but they'll readily drink the bottled water which is made from reverse osmosis.. which is the same as Newater
-
Knowing how Newater is processed will put some ppl off it =P
I drank Newater b4 and i find that it has a distinct metallic taste

i've been to the plant, seriously to me... the process doesn't look much different from our usual water, except for more steps of filtering...water is water, as long as it taste like water... u can't expect it to taste like pierre rite?
-
pierre got different taste meh?
i only know what brand to buy in thailand
other brands have a funny taste.
i prefer my water tasteless. but if i am thirsty, who cares?
-
pierre?
u mean perrier?
that's sparking water ...
-
sparkling water isn't carbonated water?
-
"natural carbonation"
whatever it is, i drink from the tap as long as it is safe..
although i still get yelled at occasionally by the aunties in the office for drinking tap water.. all of the people, including a few in their twenties, still drink boiled water..
i don't know why.. it's just wasting energy
-
wah lao, when i go for muay thai and i get damn thirsty, i just drink water from the tap
-
Have they started using Newater in our water supplies yet?
Nothing wrong wif tap water i find it extremely refreshing

-
well i take the water from the tap but boil it first. only times when i do get bottled water is when i'm out and forgot to bring along my own bottle.
-
I do drink tap water but I find that these days the taste of chlorine very strong leh the smell >.<
I don't drink bottled water
-

someone piss in the bottle and the next fella drinks it.
-
