Yeah, and I'm sure all these US firms pump their water using gnomes and deliver it using pixie dust powered trucks.
Pathetic that they'd use poor excuses like this to complain about Fiji. It is decent water, and it is marketed brilliantly.
I'd rather spend $3 on a bottle of Fiji Water than $3 on a bottle of <insert fictitious spring name here> city water that has undergone a 20 step treatment in a factory.
