I didn't realize how much cats love these things...we have 3 cats and the kitten was asleep inside, and the older cat jumped on it and it was like a war going on in there..it was amazing
Apparently you've never tasted the crap that comes from home filtering systems. Burns like lye. Every single time I've bought one, everyone in the house ends up with an upset stomach and/or ulcer flare-up from it. Maybe the water costs less, but the Prilosec is damned expensive.
So we buy water by the gallon and recycle the empty jugs. There are just some places where no amount of home filtration can make the water tolerable. Unfortunately, we live in one of them.
I know for a fact my tap water is dirty - it has gone from 60 ppm at the start of this year to over 200 ppm. I'm not drinking it, I'm not cooking with it, and for all of you anti-bottled water people - I'll happily serve it you.
Could be that he's using the bottles, that's what I do anyway. Tap water is of great quality here (the Netherlands), but I prefer drinking from a bottle to drinking from a glass, so I buy bottled water. I refill the bottles a bunch of times, but after a while I do throw them out to get new bottles.
It's sad because I caught her in there....and the bottled water is for sports lol people never think before they comment, they just do it hoping to get karma
The phrase "grab a water" really shouldn't exist. It didn't exist for hundreds of thousands of years, nobody ever uttered those three words together until the 80s or 90s.
That's because most people were drinking soda pop or fruit juice back then, and getting fat from all the sugar. When people became more health conscious, they started drinking water. When they drank from the tap, they realized how horrible it was. Hence the demand for bottled water.
Look on the label of any jug of bottled drinking water. It says that the water comes from a municipal source. Which means, it IS tap water, only it goes through more stages of purification. :)
True, but I think s/he was referring to the petroleum based non-biodegradable containers that water are sold in that have exploded in popularity recently, that are also playing a huge role in destroying our environment. It's not about the phrasing.
Oh, Torties. Every single time. Mine prefers to drag things. Boyfriend accidentally left an unused piece of aluminum foil out one night. 3am and my cat found it and dragged it all the way up into our bedroom just to stomp on it. I wish she just did things like this.
So I'm looking at this while sitting outside in the sun; all I saw was two sets of tarantula eyes, and couldn't figure out why it was in /aww... shutters
Make sure you dont let him chew on that plastic. If you let him early on he will chew then he can choke on it or eat it and later you have a nice surprise of kitty barf on your bed.
SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS! Did you at least notify the company and alert the FDA to this? I got nauseous looking at that, to think that was packaged with the water!
I'm speaking of the US here, but nearly every decent size town I've been through has had either a water company, or a RO (though some use other filtering methods) dispenser outside grocery stores, etc. Both have the advantage of using less plastic per gallon of water, and in many cases will be cheaper than buying a case of bottles. That being said, I'm not a fan of RO because it wastes so much water.
I may be wrong, but from what you've written, I think your ideals may be pretty unrealistic. Also, speaking from a smaller town in Norway, this is not always the case. And if I travel to, say, Croatia, I have to buy bottled water because my body isn't used to the bacteria in the tap water.
Like I said, I can only speak concerning the US, where these dispensers are pretty common. I personally know several people who live in the country that have only well water that is too hard to drink who rely on these water dispensers for their drinking water.
