“Pure Life Purified Water Enhanced with Minerals for Taste”. Enhanced with minerals for taste?! So, let’s straighten this out. I’m drinking purified water, which is basically tap water with all the random “stuff” removed. Except that they went back and added some “stuff” to make it taste better. Seriously, I just want some water. If you have to add “stuff” to your “purified water” to make people buy it, there’s something wrong with your water. Go back and try again. Next time I’m bringing my own freaking water.

Above is the a portion of Nestle’s FAQ section regarding the “enhanced with minerals” bit. This is just tap water. And they’ve discontinued their spring water so they can focus on bringing you more tap water. Look at all the carbon they produce to manufacture tap water! That’s insane! And now I’m feeling guilty after becoming a part of the problem today. At least I can recycle the bottle. Is the “enhanced” taste worth the environmental impact is creates? Really?
