How bottled water is the №1 beverage sold in America

Just like the credit card, don’t leave home without it, well the same has applied to bottled water, don’t leave home without it. Everywhere, there is bottled water, in cars, homes, businesses, bars, churches, parks, airports and this list is endless.

Bottled water sales range from one dollar to seven dollars depending on where you purchase it from. I used to have a bottling company deliver my bottled water on a monthly basis because I felt the tap water had so many harmful chemicals. For years, I paid roughly forty dollars a month for bottled spring water.

When I counted the dollars per month for almost ten to fifteen years, my husband advised to try filtered water via the refrigerator and that is was just a good as bottled water. Reluctantly I did and along with the savings, am happy I did. Now that I have learned of late that tap water and bottled water are twins, this confirmed my joy in discontinuing the monthly delivery of bottled water.

This article is not talking about tap water that is contaminated with lead due to some political and social issues that have rendered municipal water unsafe to drink or use as in the Michigan water situation.

The Flint water crisis was a public health crisis that started in 2014 and lasted until 2019, after the drinking water for the city of Flint, Michigan was contaminated with lead and possibly Legionella bacteria. … Between 6,000 and 12,000 children were exposed to drinking water with high levels of lead.

Over the many years, bottled water sales have soared through the roof and went beyond that when the pandemic hit, sales exploded like never before and has not stopped and no end appears in sight for this to stop even in the face of a new reality. Being conditioned one way, takes time to sink in for the change to occur.

According to the news media, many Americans are clueless that they are paying a huge markup for perfectly safe tap water. As a new convert from bottled water to filtered tap water, I recommend others try it and do their homework. Also, tap water professional advocates advised that the market leaders for bottled water, Coke and Pepsi, are filtering and bottling tap water and selling it at a big markup to the consumers.

Over the years there had been a cry that landfills are being inundated with plastics and water bottles were included in this equation. The environment is being affected by the excess of water bottles found everywhere from landfills, gutters, and waterways. According to the Container Recycling Institute, there are more than 60 million plastic water bottles being discarded daily.

Water agencies are alerting the public that tap water is the twin to bottled water and consumers need to be made aware of this fact. Many consumers attached healthiness to drinking bottled water being a part of the cure-all process.

Surprisingly, there has not been any concrete evidence that suggests that bottled water is healthier than tap water while there is published evidence that suggests the opposite, according to a Montana State University professor, Dan Heil. Per Heil, “When tap water is filtered for bottling, the process removes beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium as the bottled water industry considers these minerals “impurities”.

The above filtering processes of municipal tap water is done by Coca-Cola with its Dasani Water and Pepsi with its Aquafina brand. These companies purchase water from municipal supplies inexpensively and sell to the consumers with a huge markup.

Bottled water sales are driven by the media that touts that drinking bottled water is healthier for you and that tap water is the reverse. Yes, most Americans attempt to be health-conscious and that bottled water is the one beverage that can be consumed anytime and anywhere. This drives the sales through the roof and the pandemic multiplied these sales triple-fold.

Like Flint, Michigan, there may be other cities that have not or do not take care of their municipal water supply. In these cases, bottled water is the best solution and yes, healthier. Alike, in the Central Valley of California, where large farms have contaminated water supplies with agricultural chemicals, tap water is not ideal for consumption. Each of these locations are in the process of correcting their water systems.

In conclusion, where the water supply is well-maintained water agencies recommend consuming tap water and if in doubt, add an in-home filtration system whose prices start around $20.

Not only is bottled water sales soaring in the nation but globally, bottled water sales hit nearly $218 billion last year according to Grand View Research. Sales are steadily rising and by 2028 would have risen by 11%.

Consumers are being taken for a ride with their hard-earned dollars and the time has come to take back their dollars. Use those same dollars and make them count for other necessities of life.
