Thirsty?

I remember when bottled water first came on the mass market for 65 cents, and I was outraged, as it was more expensive than gasoline.  Still, people bought it.  Now it is $2.00 for a bottle in places!  Would I pay $2.00 for a bottle of water?  Hell no, but millions are.  What is wrong with Americans, to get sucked into such as this?  Water for $10 a gallon, or more?  At the super market, one can still buy water for under 75 cents per gallon, which is reasonable, considering the markup, cost of plastic bottle, and bottling it.  But $10 a gallon, or more, just because it is convenient, and in a small plastic bottle?  There are some things that defy all laws and sensibilities of logic and reason, and $2.00 for a bottle of water is absurd.  Why do thoughtless people do this?  Coca-Cola is about the same price. Years ago, I priced plastic gallon bottles and cartons of four.  I was going to get a big truck and bottle Silverton Colorado water in gallon bottles for sale in Phoenix, or other places where the water is, as far as I could see, so rotten tasting, as to make it un-drinkable, regardless of its safety.  Silverton has magnificent water, straight from mountain streams.  I thought it was a good idea, and maybe it still is at $2.00 per bottle.  The stuff one gets at $2.00 now, is merely plain water, not from any particular place as exposes’ have shown.  Maybe a gallon of Silverton water would be worth $2.00, or a small bottle an equal $2.00.  If you live in a place where there is good water, you might get on the high profit bandwagon, as silly Americans are gobbling up water in small plastic bottles for $2.00, and the cost of the water and bottle couldn’t be more than a dime.
