Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it?

Love this article, but they kinda bury the lede making the Coca-cola joke about bottling and selling water.

Most bottled water you buy in stores is, in fact, tap water. If you think they’re getting it from a mountain spring, even if there’s a mountain on the label, you would be mistaken. You wouldn’t want mountain water (with bear piss) anyway, the water you buy bottled is filtered and treated. It’s good tap water, but it’s still tap water. So next time your water bottle runs out, just refill it from the tap. Assuming your tap water is potable and doesn’t taste like shit.
