I just witnessed a person pay $1.05 for a single banana

[edjr 6,867]

they probably make it into banana bread to sell in their cafe the next day... HTH...

ps. still waiting on some links as to show me up w/ your bottled water industry knowledge...

pps. i love the fact some arsehat will complain about paying $1 for a banana, but in the same thread will adamantly defend the purchase of bottled water... focking great...

 

 

I wasn't DEFENDING the purchase of bottled water. I SAID IT FOCKING TASTES BETTER THAN TAP WATER!

 

Also, I didn't buy the banana! Wow, reading is NOT your forte, is it?

 

All I said was I PERSONALLY like the taste of filtered/spring water as opposed to tap water right out of the faucet.

Survivorman drank his own piss last night in the season operer. I think he paid like 3 dollars and change.

fyi... i realize you didn't buy the banana... but SOMEONE was still PAYING $1 for it - reading COMPREHENSION is definitely not your forte, is it?

and it took you how many posts to say you PERSONALLY like spring/filtered water better than tap water? i think that was just what you finally said when you finally realized you are talking about your own opinions, and don't actually have any industry knowledge...

seems to me you wanted to start off by saying bottled water is filtered, but city water isn't (which is wrong). Then still professed that bottled water is filtered after i described how coke/pepsi bottled water is mineral water, not filtered water...

 

but whatever man, whatever...

That's actually the same recipe as FIJI water.

oh. so witty when you have been made to look like an idiot for arguing about something you have no clue of...

 

still waiting for those links to say city water isn't filtered and bottled water is...

 

HTH.

Well, it was in the Kalahari Desert. Pretyy much every-focking-thing was hot as hell.

As long as azzmegs are willing to pay that much, the cafe is smart to do it.

 

It's called "charging what the market will pay"

 

HTH

 

This is the correct answer.

 

Because they can.

Then you are either stupid or suffering from a psychosomatic delusion.

 

It takes different to you because your mind is telling you it tastes different, even though water all tastes the same. You have to justify throwing money away on bottled water full of bacteria rather than drinking healthy tap water for free.

 

It's all in your head. It is a tip.

[edjr 6,867]

water all tastes the same.

 

 

Filtered tastes the same as tap?

[KSB2424 3,172]

If I was at a cafe, and really wanted a banana, I would pay a dollar for it.

[phillybear 366]

In a blind taste taste, you would not be able to tell tap water apart from bottled water.

 

Unless you people in New England are drinking polluted water. Which is hard to imagine, since the EPA monitors tap water. Pretty much nobody monitors bottled water. Also, water has no taste.

 

Ergo, tap water is healthier and tastes the same as any other water.

YES I WOULD

Oh sure, but charging $1 is what bugs me

but don't try to tell moron that... he'll swear up and down that all bottle water is filtered, and tap water is not, and he knows this cause bottled water tastes better...

[KSB2424 3,172]

You all must remember that edjr lives in a 600 square foot apartment that does not have a dishwasher. It is my estimation that the complex is at least 25 years old and the pipes/faucet is rusted. Therefore edjr's tap water tastes like he is sucking on a penny.

edjr is simply arguing just to post pad. He doesn't actually believe anything he posts. Ever.

well that would be a reasonable explanation as to why HIS tap water tastes like ass...

but the water coming from the city's plant is still just as good as any bottled water...

that's ok, no one else should ever believe him either...

YES I WOULD

I gots to agree with ed on this one.

 

I do a LOT of work around the yard at home (basically to stay outside away from the wife) and therefore drink a damn LOT of water. My kids always run inside and get me bottles of water. One day, I very obviously noticed a difference in the taste of the water. My wife had apparently gotten sick of buying a dozen bottles a day and started filling them up with tap water. Easy taste test! One swallow! Every time!

Clearly you don't know what you're talking about either. It's not possible, it all tastes the same
