You don't click on any links because you're the mirror image of a FOX News cultist.
I don't click on links which are provided with ZERO context by inveterate trolls. The internet is a big place and before I fall down any rabbit hole you recommend I want at least a glimpse of the landing. I also believe it's a general principle of polite forum use, so FOX you Tony.

Why do Americans buy water ?
Amurica is the bestest country in the world !
(Second bestest actually. Texas is the bestest country in the world).
Can't you just drink water from the tap, like everyone else in first-world countries does ?
Or is the drinking-water in the bestest country in the world actually not drinkable ?

because we are stupid................... and spoiled, it's rare for tap to taste the same as bottled, except arrowhead, that is pure damn piss that is bottled like coors light & bud light......

I was just poking fun at you yanks.
I've spent about 18 months of my life in the US. (In the nineties).
I know you can't drink the tapwater.
I already hated it to just take a shower. Getting chlorine all over your skin. And you can't take a shower to wash the chlorine of your skin. :)
In my country you can drink water from the tap. Everyone does. In the country to the east of us, you can do that too. In the country to the south of us, tapwater is fine too. I can't believe that a country that can't produce decent tapwater calls itself the greatest country in the world. The US is maybe good at starting wars. But they are amateurs at many many many other simple things.

The most well-known brand of bottled water in the Netherlands is called Spa. It comes in flat (non-carbonated) and carbonated kinds (as well as with a fruit taste and such). It's quite expensive if you should choose to drink it all the time instead of tap water. Quite frankly, when I compare the taste of Spa Blauw (Blue, non-carbonated) water with Dutch tap water, I even prefer the taste of the tap water that comes out of my faucets to the expensive bottled Spa Blue. And it has been determined that, contrary to the claims of bottled water companies, our tap water is just as healthy if not healthier than bottled water.
I have a Spa Blue 1.5 liter bottle in my fridge. I constantly refill it with tap water, so that I always have cold water to drink. I don't even consider buying new Spa Blue bottles constantly.

Which is funny, considering that most bottled water is drawn from a filtered tap. They don't
really get it from Canadian glaciers, people.
Though I have to have bottled water, since my tap water tastes bad. Plus it has fluoride in it, which makes people vote in ways I don't find politically convenient.

You can drink tap water in most of Europe, including a lot of formerly Soviet occupied countries that are still rebuilding. I've been all over the place and the only time I can remember where you couldn't drink tap water was in Sankt-Peterburg in the 90s where it was visibly brown and even the tea tasted funny. Probably because they took it from the Ankh-Morporkian river flowing through the city and didn't really put in much effort to filter it.
On another thought, perhaps flowing is a bit too strong of a word. Ambling? Crawling? Oozing?

We keep a home filter and skip the bottling step.
