To address your unrelated tangent, as a pedant (as I think many techy types are), I personally appreciate the extra effort put in to qualify the statements.
Your "you’re 100% right that all bottled water is functionally identical" makes me bristle.
I only drink tap at home, but I know that bottled water is drawn from very different sources, and certainly some has quite different taste and taste is certainly a function of water </pedantic>
Fortunately you yourself mounted an effective defence against pedantry by qualifying that with "for the purposes of this discussion".

- abraae 7y ago> Errrm, except that's not the case whatsoever. It absolutely is often the case. You have cited one article about Pepsi's bottled water coming from a tap. That does not make it universally true at all. Bottle water around here is frequently drawn from springs, rivers etc. It is often the cause of bitter arguments about whether the companies are paying enough for it.
- PeterStuer 7y agoHere is another data point for you about Coca Cola's water coming from municipal taps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasani https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasani That does not mean it is 'bad' water. The point is that municipal tap water is perfectly fine to drink in most places. All water, whether bottled or tap, comes from 'springs, rivers etc.', the 'etc' being pumped up ground water in most cases.
