Not really. Bottling it in small containers is a huge waste of resources. It makes more sense to simply heat or filter the water at point-of-use for cooking purposes. Small bottles are a much more costly trade-off for convenience.

And if it's convenience you need--perhaps if you are backpacking or camping in an area without safe drinking water--then you can get reusable bottles with a built-in filter. Fill up the bottle from a stream or whatever and it filters it for you. No need to waste dozens if not hundreds of plastic bottles when a single inexpensive device can replace them.

[Anonymous No.6474212]

>>6474202
>You are retarded. bottled water comes in different minera content

I was talking about ordinary bottled water. It does not contain appreciable mineral content from a nutrtion perspective, it contains just a little for flavor. I was not talking about mineral or electrolyte supplements. Of course if you had a medical reason to need a mineral supplement then by all means drink it. But that's not what we're talking about here.

> You sometime need to take some water for a trip or something.

Right, that's why I suggested the re-usable bottle with a built in filter. Why spend $1 (or much more in some places) over and over and over again when you can buy a $10 item once and use it thousands of times?

>>Your whole argument could also be used for any bottled beverage to begin with.

Most bottled beverages don't have anywhere near the crazy markup that bottled water has. I don't mind paying for a bottle of wine, for example, because that takes actual effort to make. The problem with bottled water is that water is generally so cheap that it is very nearly free, but put it in a bottle and the price goes up by a factor of several thousand. Paying $1 for a bottle of water is the finiancial equivalent of paying $40 for a coke or $10,000 for a bottle of wine. It's a crazy high amount of money for what you are actually getting in return.

>>Coke is just a powder to begin with. they shouldn't sell you the water.

Agreed. It would be easier and cheaper to transport that way. Which is why restaurants buy the concentrate, and then sell it to you for a higher price. Of course that makes sense. That's why they are making money when you buy a coke, while you are losing it.

yeah, no. filters will at best take out pathogens, but do nothing for chemical toxins, heavy metals, and other small molecules that could be present in water sources close to human habitation.

face it, bottled water is no less wasteful or illegitimate than juice in a bottle. we're willing to pay for the safety and portability of potable water which is something that many people in "rich" countries take for granted. we just don't have free public water fountains or restaurants that give free water here.

You mean like a Camelbak Groove or a Waterbobble? Those things are meant for filtering tap water that's been treated with chlorine. To remove the bad taste.

If you really want to filter your water, I suggest you get a proper pump-action water filter or, if you're using an hydration bladder, an in-line water filter. This still won't do much for chemicals, but at least you won't get giardia, cryptosporidium, or any other water-borne nasties.

A shame you can still get them from washing your hands, face or anus with contaminated water.

[Anonymous No.6476726]

Ah, the feeling of living in a country where mineral springs are plentiful.

All of bottled water here is mineral. Some quite flavourful.

...not to mention the few springs with really special mineral water. So salty it twists your mouth, stinking of rotten eggs (hydrogen sulphide) or with a distinct taste of kerosene (crude oil bearing lands). They all have their medical applications, but some are actually prescription-only.

Still, enter any store and pick from at least ten different flavors, all different mineral waters. You have to look for actual plain non-mineral bottled water.

>I am 99% sure a bottle with a built in filter is not going to do it for some random fucking stream water

You simply don't know what you're talking about. They make small portable filters for exactly this purpose: campers, backpackers, hikers, etc. that need to make random stream or pond water safe to drink. The filters are specifically made to remove harmful bacteria, cysts, etc. Check a camping supply or outdoor store, these have been around since at least the 90's, and probably earlier.

If you're extra paranoid you can get a small handheld reverse-osmosis unit that you operate with a hand lever. That will remove anything, even chemicals. Katadyn is a well-known brand.

[Anonymous No.6477402]

>>6477193

While these portable water filter systems are pretty cool, it's not the same as treated water or water from a (modern) well and one should really boil the water after running it thru a filter just to be safe.

You're not understanding. Bottled water is shipped to these places because the water is simply unsafe for consumption. Boiling the water may make it safer, but it certainly isn't palatable.

[Anonymous No.6480943]

Lol what?
Bottled water isn't shipped to "those places" because water is expensive as hell to ship. Go to a village in Thailand, India, Mexico, etc, and you simply won't find the same kinds of brands of fancypants bottled water that you see in a corner store in the west, if there is any at all. Bottled water is an expensive convenience luxury in developed nations.

>> Boiling the water may make it safer, but it certainly isn't palatable.
And a person in "those places" isn't concerned about palatable, they're concerned that they have water at all. Pic very much related. Worrying about the flavor of your water is a first world problem.

>>pay for the filters
The point is that the filters are cheaper than the bottles are. Much cheaper. For example, a Brita or similar filter cartridge costs about $20 and filters 100 gallons of water. The cheapest generic-brand bottled water I could find was sold by Wal-mart; $3.98 for a 28-pack of 20oz bottles. That's 0.7 cents per ounce. For comparison purposes it would cost you $89.60 to get that same hundred gallons of water clean water. That's a hell of a lot more expensive than the filter.
