Bottled Waters
I remember the first time I saw a bottle of water for sale, thinking it was the most ridiculous thing I’d ever encountered. Who the heck would actually PAY to drink water when they could get it for free at home - Norm Schriever

Which Bottled Water is the Best?
When I pick bottled water I look for a spring water to obtain beneficial minerals in moderate amounts with a pH of 7.4 or higher. And, if it’s available, I’ll choose a glass container over plastic to avoid the possibility of leaching. You can choose the bottled water that suits your purpose, whether that’s to experience a delightfully unique taste to compliment a fine dinner or a healthy and environmentally appropriate choice.

Evian mineral water has been sold in bottles since 1826 and Perrier and Seltzers were one of the very first to bring sparkling water into the market. In the U.S. Saratoga Springs Water was marketed as a "cure for stomach ailments" since 1820.
