Evian backwards is Naive

I drink a lot of water. I try to drink about a gallon everyday, but at work there are problems with that. Space. The boss won't flip for a water cooler. There's no space in the mini-fridge for a Brita pitcher. So I'm forced to drink bottled water at times.

Bottled water creates a dilemma in me. Most bottles waters taste bad to me. They actually taste dry. How can water taste dry? It dries the mouth and throat as it goes through. To me the only good tasting water is New York's own tap water. It's rated some of the best water in the entire country. If you just let it sit a couple hours or overnight the chlorine evaporates from the water and tastes great. The problem is containing the tap water. I bought a couple containers, but they always end up leaking in the small fridge since I can't stand them up properly. If the bottle is sealed you can't allow the water to breath, so no benefit there.

What I've come up with is buying whatever bottled water is on sale about once a month. Drink it, then refill until the bottle gets foggy or cloudy, or moldy. Toss, get another bottle. I like to do this with Aquafina as it has a big mouth. This time around I got Evian. It's horrible tasting. It feels oily in the mouth. I guess it's true what they say about people who buy it, Evian backwards ya know.

It's funny though. Evian was the first bottled water to hit the market hard. Makes no sense how people would rather pay for water that tastes worse than tap. Then you have all those wonderful empty plastic bottles that are terrible for the environment. Whatta plan, take the simplest, cleanest thing on the planet -- water -- and put it in a single use container that will last for thousands of years with no hope of degradation.

Yep. Evian backwards.
