  1. That is a very interesting way of looking at it, Lee. Why the hell is it so popular? It must be one of the greatest marketing cons ever

  3. great stat. I'm amazed at how quickly bottled water went from de rigour to crass. Now if we could only generate the same emotion around SUVs.....

  8. Bottled water as well? Oh goodness... how horrid. Makes one rethink what they drink and eat... yes?

  9. I never buy or drink bottled water. I think it's all a pose, to be honest.

    We have wonderful water up here on the mountain. Actually, companies haul it off the mountain to be put into bottles like those and sold back through the mountain supermarkets!

    I refuse to buy bottled water.
