One of the biggest laughs is silly Americans running around buying bottled (often tap) water when we have what is probably the best and safest water tap system in the world!
The water isn't too tasty in many parts of Florida, either.
But I fully agree that it's funny how much people spend on bottled water. Particularly brands like Dasani, Aquafina, and Deja Blue, which truly are bottled tap water. It's even funnier how in many places they'll sell Dasani for more than Coke, when Dasani is essentially just Coke with a few minerals replacing the sugar and caramel color.
Ah, advertising...
