India might be taking our jobs but we are taking their water supply.

Bottled water is the biggest rip off since someone thought to charge for sex.

I do drink bottled water but i only buy distilled if i was goin to buy spring now that would be pointless but i also only pay 58 cents a gallon. Plus the tap water at my house tastes funny to me. but if i go somewhere i dont buy water out of a vending machine water fountain good enough.

You're missing out on minerals and flouride when you drink distilled water. Distilled water is for steam irons, humidors, etc.

Like u say Lugnut "Eat right, exercise, die anyway."

I just prefer the taste or lack of taste of distilled water.

This is for home, right? You should get a Brita filter of some kind. It takes that yucko taste out of tap water but doesn't remove the minerals or flouride. They really make a difference in taste.

I did forget to add that at home there is too much iron and suflur in the water.

Using bottled water in public places is good because you don't have to worry about diseases/bacteria. At home though it's pointless.

India might be taking our jobs but we are taking their water supply.
As for India using their water supply, let them run themselves into the ground. It'll become a barren wasteland before it's another America..
