Pretty fucking ridiculous....
Here is a video of a restaurant pulling off a prank on some customers who think they are buying fancy expensive waters from around the world...when they were really serving them water from the hose.

Good clip, although I would have loved to have seen their reactions when they found out it was just tap water. They must have felt like dumbasses.
But yeah, the whole bottled water craze is beyond stupid. Tap water + a simple water filter is all you need. But hey, people dumb enough to waste their money on bottled water deserve to lose their money so it all works out. :D

These people are stupid and need their money taken from them. I agree with Kruger I would have loved to see their faces when they found out it was water from a hose.

$5.00 for bottled water. $2.00 for bottled water. No difference. Only suckers pay for something you can get out of the tap for free. Only time I would ever buy that shit is if I were in Mexico or some other place where the drinking water is tantamount to poison.

I'll pay $0.75 at the grocery store for a bottle of cold water to drink on the way home. In Texas. In the summer.
And lest any of these people get called too stupid, rock concerts, gaming/anime conventions, and other large gatherings frequently have good old Dasani on sale for a minimum of $4 a bottle. So does your local movie theater, I'd bet.
At least these stupid rich people are getting something exotic for their money. Unlike the rest of us.

Stupid is as stupid does.
The whole thing smacks of someone perpetrating a huge joke on these chumps.

Question: Why do rich people buy absurd things?
Answer: Because they can afford it.

This isn't really a restaurant pulling a prank, it was a hidden camera segment from the show Penn & Teller: Bullshit and the episode was all about bottled water. Well half of it anyways, the other half was about Feng Shui.
Naturally when it was revealed to them what they were drinking they just laughed out of embarrassment.

I've seen that episode of Bullshit. Most bottled water company's state their water comes from a municipal source. Which means...tap water.
Bird Shit facials, coffee that comes from cat shit. They reallly will fall for anything.

I pay $25.00 a month for the Culligan filtration system that fits under your sink and turns the toxic sludge known as California tap water into liquid gold. Worth every goddamn penny.

1 filter = $8
...makes 50 gallons.

Yeah well maybe that K-mart shit works with the water there in New York but out here you need to pull out the big guns for this California ass-water that gets directly piped in from Mexico. :D

NYC is known for having the cleanest tap water in the States. A little too much flouride and chlorine if you ask me.
