haven't tried it. but that's seriously what it is. Fulvic acid is one of the compounds that gives peat bog water that really dark colour. I doubt it tastes like much though. just like having food colouring in water.

also, I certainly wouldn't drink it.

this is from the Material Safety Data Sheet for fulvic acid:

"Ingestion: If conscious and alert, drink water or milk to dilute, then induce vomiting. Call a physician or
Poison Control Center Immediately."

Fuck bottled water. Seriously, I had a friend who drank Fiji fucking religiously and was spending something like $20 a week on that shit.

Sometimes it's not practical to carry a water bottle around or you forget one or you are travelling and can't take a bottle with you. Many reasons to buy bottled water.

no there aren't. explain to me ONE time it isn't feasible to carry a water bottle, but is to buy a water bottle.

the only time I can ever see buying water bottles as important is when one is travelling in countries with questionable water. but this maybe accounts for 1/1,000,000th of the water bottles used.

Gotta be Hen-dicks laced water for me. Such a small bottling company I couldn't even find a picture online of it.

haha but the brand was actually called Henry's Drinking Water, and it was sold for 50 cents for like 16oz bottle, we always made fun of it because every bottle tastes different, so we just assumed they were experimenting with lacing their water with different stuff

When I go to work and I'm in a dress. I'm not going to carry a water bottle around all day as I don't have a big bag and my boss would not be happy at me carrying a water bottle. When I'm out at night again just in a dress with no bag I'm not going to bring a water bottle from home.

Water bottles you buy are disposable. Therefore you can drink them and then throw them away so you don't have to carry them around.

awwww. muffin. where do you work? I'd imagine there's a water fountain, if not then a washroom with a working faucet?

you can also get water pouches that fold down to practically nothing you could slip in your purse. would take up no more space than a vibrator.

and if you're out at night and need water you ask the barkeep for a damn glass of water. simple as that.


you only HAVE to use a disposable bottle simply because you've never tried to NOT use one. I have not used a disposable bottle in years and years, with the exception of having water bottles on me while doing first aid at summer events in the case of dehydrated patients. but I consider that an acceptable use. even though it could totally be reusable bottles in their place.

I feel like you should probably join the majority of the population who live in the real world. Muffin? That was the best thing you could come up with...

I don't work in an office, otherwise that would be plausible. I work at a variety of shops, fields, schools and marquees. I spend most of my day giving talks, building things, selling products, running training and speaking to people so to get the amount of water I need isn't plausible from either a water purse or running to the fountain every 5 minutes. Seriously, you think a lot of women carry their vibes in their purses? I bring either just my wallet or a clutch, not big enough to fit anything more than my phone, cash and cards. You clearly have never been to a club in a big city, you sit out the front for an hour waiting to get in.

I'm not saying that everyday I can't have a water bottle, because 4 days a week when I'm at uni and when I go to the gym twice a day I do bring a bottle from home. I'm saying that there are times when a disposable bottle is needed.

that must be so taxing. what a difficult life. I'm so glad you're able to at least stay well hydrated during that whole hour of waiting. I don't know how people would survive without constant hydration during such a long span of time. I'm sure you though of having a glass of water before leaving to head to the club though. There must be a serious flaw with it or else you would have done that. Maybe you live in a third world country and you don't have running water at home.

Haha really? That was the only thing you could find to reply to. When I can spend $1 to stay hydrated on a night spent drinking it's worth it for me. When there are 5 people selling water out the front of clubs clearly there is a market for it... But yeah, you're really convincing everyone not to use bottled water. Keep crusading.

this, unsafe third world tap water. but fuck, people who spend a shit ton on these "designer water" brands are fucking retarded. if you did a blindfold test they would all taste the fucking same.

this is what i think of when i see peeps with those bottles.

didn't want to waste my time with someone who can't even come up with a simple solution to not use bottled water while at work. but sure, if you really need someone to think for you; you work in shops, fields, school, and marquees. shops and schools should be a no brainer. easy access to a tap or fountain. in a field. if you're in a field you're bringing that disposable water bottle with you into the field, no? otherwise how did it get there.. so instead of a disposable bottle, why not a reusable bottle. same can be said for a tent. clearly your employer is the problem in the case of a tent though. someone is bring bottled water there. that same someone could jsut as easily bring a few jugs and some cups. so you can't go to the fountain every 5 minutes. that's fine. you don;t need to. neither does anyone else in the world. I'm sure it would be little to no inconvenience to bring a small water bottle with you to work.


really there is absolutely no reason for disposable water bottles. there really really isn't. as much as you might convince yourself there is, there isn't. and at most it's the smallest little inconvenience to avoid using them.

it would be so so easy to eliminate them altogether in first world nations if jsut a few simple changes were made.


also, enjoy your cancer from drinking out of plastic water bottles all the time.

Again, very few of those options are acceptable at work. One of my employers is sponsored by drinks companies supplying us with either softdrinks or bottled water. I use bottle water as little as possible but I see very little reason to cut them out of my life completely. Tap water is also linked to cancer. I also use a microwave, eat processed food, swim in a chlorinated pool, spend time in the sun, drink alcohol, take vitamin supplements and spend time in a city breathing in the pollution. Drinking from a plastic bottle is the least of my cancer worries. Plus all my non-disposable bottles are also made of plastic.

My hometown brew! I'm actually old enough that I can remember when it was still made there. Every day at five o'clock I'd hear the whistle and know that I should probably head home soon for dinner.

Also, just water out of a Britta in a mason jar with tons of ice gets me through most of the day with 1 or 2 refills. And it looks so cool.

Mason jars...you've probably never heard of them.
