I can't believe people will pay more for bottled water than for gasoline, but they do. You've got to drill an oil well, ship the crude half way around the world, crack it into gasoline, truck it to a gas station, store it under ground, and then pump the gas into your gas tank. All of that for $3.49 a gallon. That's incredible! In New Jersey the gas stations still do the pumping at no extra cost; but people are always complaining that gasoline costs too much. Water, on the other hand, literally falls from the sky. But I've seen people happily fork over $2.00 for a 1-liter bottle of the stuff. I don't think we have the ability to judge value anymore. Could Idiocracy actually be coming true?
Quote from the label on bottled water: "Ingredients: Water"
Who would have guessed ... and shouldn't that say "Ingredient: Water"?
