Tap water is the poor mans evian. You can even fill your used bottle with tap and pass it off as the real thing. It would probably taste nicer as well. But, I don’t like little bottles. When your thirsty, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of relief you get when you devour a whole, pint-sized glass of ice cold water straight from the tap. Water is so much more appealing when it comes out of glassware of even household china. I’d be equally enamoured with the idea of glugging down the good stuff from a sturdy mug, as i would from a spacious glass. This simply doesn’t compare to the pitiful amounts of water you can chug down with a bottle. The neck of the bottle is simply too small to get that water down fast enough. How unsatisfying. The other thing about bottled water, is that when carried around all day it inevitably loses its ice cold appeal. There’s nothing worse (well i’m sure there is) than being forced to drink luke-warm water when you’re struck with a thirst attack. It’s not even quenching, just unpleasant. this is why the tap rules. Water Coolers also have the right idea. the water is always perfectly cool and you have your own cup to drink from, no sharing there. the big upturned bottle is a darn sight better than those pesky small ones.
