When I was a kid, my parents would only buy carbonated water. Still water was available from the tap. Today, I stopped buying even that, I can carbonate my water myself.
As to why we buy so much bottled water: Marketing. Some waters have a distinct taste, but at least for me, it’s just a matter of getting used to a different tap water taste when moving.
- cakemuncher 7y agoHow do you carbonate water yourself?

I prefer mine because it doesn’t require some apparatus that take space on the kitchen counter.
