drink it in…

…it always goes down smooth

I don’t buy bottled water. It suffocates the environment and prolongs our dependence on oil reserves. I’m cool with folk that do though, because there’s too heavy a marketing push to ignore. The fact that Coca-Cola rapes foreign lands and depletes their fresh water reserves means little to anyone. They are foreign after all, and thus insignificant. Plus, most of that goes to soda, and folk will kill an indigenous mother with their own hands for a six-pack of Pepsi. Still more people buy filtration pitchers and sink systems to purify their H2O.

Turns out it’s all a waste of time for Minneapolisites Minneapolans, Minneapolisans, Minneapolites; I haven’t a clue. Well, maybe not a waste of time, because maybe your pipes are rusting out, but definitely a study in expense vs. necessity. And I don’t mean to badmouth those that partake in bottled water goodness. Most of the people that aren’t complete assholes reuse or recycle the bottles and that’s almost fourteen percent.

This was just a time for me to gloat about my reuse of the same 32oz Gatorade bottle for the past seven months. Picture me throwing my arms in the air, hooting, bringing my fists together and pretending to churn butter, and doing some awful imitation of someone doing the sprinkler. In other words, boo ya!

That is all, please resume your day. Go out and buy a Dasani to celebrate. It’s local tap water filtered to lower standards than it originally had. I’m sure it’s delicious.

    If you resort to drinking tap water, the terrorists win. You will be the first to go down when they penetrate our water supply with anthrax and HIV.
