I think the title of one of the World's most famous bottled water should be spelled backwards and labeled as such. :D

this has been passed by the management I take it?

Yep, it is funny, bar-la-duc is such a brand here.Quote:

It only needs a bit of carbonation, and with soda club machines you
could do that easily for a fraction of the bottled water.
It was so funny when you saw that in a documentary in our country
when they interviewed the people who came out of the supermarket
in that region and they heard that it was the same water as in their tab.
They were not amused. ;)
Every time something like this comes up, shortly after a hideous problem will develope with the water. Why? People who are unfair don't like it exposed. They get even. Why? Well if they were fair in the first place would they think of doing such a thing? No.
Fear/Safety: People pay through the nose for the latter to avoid the former, expecting that those who package such things care about them.
The biggest falicy is that given perfect information, people will want to do the right thing. That is for themselves, for others, highly unlikely.
Sally? Translation please... :confused:
Nice one, James.
In the South East of the UK we have, allegedly, a water shortage - I'm sure it is 'cos millions of gallons of water are stored in warehouses and supermarket shelves not to mention all the water added to processed foods.
James, the state of the world, in general is down hill, innit?
The water leaks from the unrepaired pipes into the ground then becomes a stream then they collect and bottle it as natural.Quote:

Well, it would, wouldn't it?Quote:

The image below is my view of your suspected outcome of keeping bottled water passed its shelf life. Done in 3D for dramatic effect. :DQuote:

Best not to drink the stuff then.Quote:

It not only goes flat, it's taste changes dramatically. At the same time that started happening they started putting the expiration dates on the cans. Coincidence, I don't think so...! Planned obsalescense (sp) is what I call it and it's engineered into the product.
And potato chips, packed by weight not by volumb (sp). It doesn't make me angry that the bag is less then half full, it makes me angry that they think I won't notice....!
And then there's the size of the ink compartment inside HP Print cartridges....!
Other than that I'm not cynical in the least bit....!
