True. Depending on the country, some bottled waters are fake and dangerous to drink. Kenya is one country in particular where I was warned beforehand of such maliciousness. Which is why I ALWAYS make sure my bottle is perfectly sealed before paying for it. Even in the US I wouldn't buy an opened bottle of water.
