Fun fact. Next time you have the opportunity to compare the labels on bottled water, check how many of the brands are owned by Nestle.

BT owns numerous brands, including Arrowhead, which is ironically being prohibited from pumping its historical source and is now largely drawn in British Columbia instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueTriton_Brands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueTriton_Brands The strange history of Nestlé also includes a widespread boycott, ongoing since 1977, because of how their handling of products in third-world countries has affected childbearing and nursing women there. Ironically, one of the major objections to artificial formula for infants is that poor women are often compelled to mix it with dirty or contaminated water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Nestl%C3%A9_boycott https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Nestl%C3%A9_boycott
