Because buying bottled water or saline is Expensive and Stupid!
They made bottled water so that people can have portable water wherever they go.
Yes. It's more expensive. Bottled water is 500 times more expensive than tap water. Bottled water requires ridiculous amounts of plastic to make all the bottles, which are then dumped in landfills and often kill wildlife. Bottled water is also exempt from the harsh quality standards that make sure tap water is very clean. learn more below --------------------------------------------------------- It depends on a person's point of view. I think bottled water is no scam for tap water is bad for you and can cause blockage in the intestines. But still it is true bottled water can get pricey in some countries.
Plain water, bottled or otherwise, does not have calories. So it has no effect.
NO!!! bottled water costs so much more than tap!
No country may have yet banned bottled water entirely. However, the first town to ban bottled water is Bundanoon in New South Wales, Australia. They did so in 2009.
No I don't think so.
It's about the same. Most bottled water IS tap water, so any chemicals and weird stuff in tap water are in bottled water too.
In general - no. It's usually better than most bottled water (which is often just expensive {some other} city water.
I am a huge fan of Dasani water. You can find it at most grocery stores. It has a very clean taste. Bottled water is typically filtered more than tap water so you can be sure that bottled water has just water in it, none of the added chemicals.
Please grab the bottled water in the fridge!=Do not let the bottled water go to waste. The bottled water in the pantry is Aquafinas, not Zephyrhills. =P Lolz..=
