I fully support separating retards from their money.
The minimalist packaging is particularly brilliant, as you greatly reduce production costs while being able to sell at a higher price point because retarded millennial consumers.

The only thing I hate about those products is that I didn’t come up with them.

Americans, by which I mean mutts, mart sharters and americlaps, have degenerated to a point that they covet consumer goods that are deliberately designed to appear old, damaged and of low quality. "Distressed" jeans, "rustic" design, "boxed" water. You name it, the American (by which I mean the 56% mutt) has designed and successfully sold a "rustic" version of it for massive profits, for no other reasons other than its aesthetic resemblance of something you pulled out of the landfill.

Not everything is a conspiracy, anon.
Labeling regulations are sometimes stricter than you think.
That’s why bottled waters using tap-water either don’t mention a source at all, or will say “filtered/purified water from a municipal source”.
‘Municipal source’ means public utility water. Doesn’t matter if it comes from a resovoir or is pumped from an aquifer; municipal water is water that you buy from a public/government utility company, and has been treated by that company (fluoride, chlorine, etc) which is why the companies that bottle it will purify it by reverse-osmosis or whatever.

Though yes, there are some cases where utility water *could* be obtained from what technically classified as a spring. That’s why non-municipal waters will almost always be labeled as “bottled AT the spring/source”. It means they obtain the water directly themselves, either from a natural artisanal surface spring, underground spring, or underground aquifer; not from a government utility to whom they pay a water bill.
Also, ‘artisanal’ in the context of water isn’t the same as ‘artisan’ in the bullshit hipster ‘craft’ sense; it’s a technical term meaning a spring where water flows to the surface from natural pressure.

These used to be huge at the grocery store I worked at about 4-5 years ago, just for 'aesthetic' purposes as the water tasted even worse than regular bottled water. Eventually people stopped buying and would have pallets of this stuff since my store overordered like crazy, I think we put them at around .25 just so we could get rid of them.
