Most people have been drinking tap water all of their lives. It is a bit surprising that consumers who have been raised on one beverage take a liking to another.
Desani, a desginer water which is owned by Coca-Cola (KO) come from tap water. The put the H2O through "filtered using a process called reverse osmosis and enhanced with minerals", according to The Associated Press. That must make it worth a few dollars a bottle.
Now a group calling itself Corporate Accountability International want Pepsi (PEP) to admit that Aquafina comes from municipal sources and not some mountain spring. Pepsi probably puts it stuff through a special filter like Coke does. And, the bottle with the picture of the mountain on it has to be expensive.
Consumers like expensive bottled water because it tastes just like the water they were reared on.
It is the water they were reared on.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
