This will make you think twice before cracking that cold bottle of water. Reuse and recycle people!! Drink tap water and get a brita filter if you really feel the need. I actually decided against bottles of water at my wedding in two months cause of this article.

I love Fiji water!!! or any artesian water for that matter. but mostly Fiji. you CAN taste the difference and it tastes good. people give me "guff" because i'll ask for Fiji water or whatevers cheapest but to me those are the two choices. they may also be giving me "guff" because i'm buying water that costs the same as beer, ouch! The problem is all the non-artesian bottled waters out there and the people like me who drink them (i'm probably averaging 2-3 bottles from the Current fridge a day) and the fact that Brita sometimes tastes bad. not saying it is bad but it doesn't taste right.
but we can't not scold the great Fijian people or those that prefer a quality refreshmen for buying Fiji. It just tastes better. -

" Yummy. -
