"Millions of unsuspecting customers are buying filtered tap water and boiled rainwater at massive mark-ups of more than 180,000 per cent. ...

It sells water at $2.13 for 1000 litres but companies are selling it for about $2.50 for 600ml." -- Full article at News.com.au
I wish more people would get their heads out of their entitled bottoms and really look at the bigger picture:
"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year ... that plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce ... [and] over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away." -- Food and Water Watch via Mother Nature Network.
We are wasting resources when there is clearly no need to. And doing it in spite of those "... 1 billion people don't have access to clean, safe drinking water." -- The Water Project.
