People claim that Fiji Water, Acqua Panna, Voss, Waiakea and Evian are “rich people” water because they are “expensive” but they arent that expensive at all I personally have Voss, Fiji, Waiakea volcanic water, Acqua Panna and Evian and they aren’t expensive at al.

As an example in the Vancouver area they pull water from the local watersheds and mountain runoff , treat it and it comes to your tap. But also Nestle siphons of a shitload of it too from the same aource and bottles it and charges you a gigantic markup to drink what is practically free. The high end brand waters aren't any better than that, they just cost more
