Water

Vitamin Water?  Really?  Like good 'ole fashioned regular water isn't good enough?  Of course in my lifetime, regular water stopped being good enough back in the 70's when executives at Coke et al. decided we needed water in a bottle for a price as opposed to water out of our tap for, well, nothing.  (Although the concept of bottling water and selling it has been around in some form for over a century.)


I'm not going to lie.  I was seduced by bottled water for a long time.  But it's a scourge on the environment and in my mind best symbolizes gross overconsumption in America.  I quit buying it about a year ago.  ->
