Some people are just plain nuts!
I've known this for years and never could figure out what the craze was all about.
Perhaps I should invent 'bag water'.

What gets me is when I see someone in a bar ordering bottled water

The  benefits of bottled water are convenience and novelty.     Instead of buying bottled water you can  carry a canteen or a reusable athletic bottle.  Or, recycle an empty water bottle by filling it from your tap. That will save you a lot of money - bottled water costs <B>thousands</B> of times as much as water from your tap!     It will also help the environment </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D544ECA5-1832-4C4F-A177-AA88417174EE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
