In this interesting episode of "Penn and Teller: Bullshit!," the host investigate the hype behind bottled water. Apparently, the appeal to bottled water is unsubstantiated in many different aspects. If bottled water doesn't live up to consumer expectations, why is the industry booming? While some may attribute the success of this $15 billion industry to the ignorance of consumers, I believe the advertising strategies of these water bottling companies are to blame. Furthermore, it also seems as though a select few self-inflated individuals perpetuate this blatant abuse of consumer gullibility by pretending to acknowledge a difference in quality between bottled water and tap water. Agua de Culo anyone???

Wow! Interesting post! You can use the information in your research paper. $30 a bottle. Crzy, man.

This has turned out to be a fine topic, James.
