Is bottled water a scam ?
Bottled water producers are facing increasing pressure as the product falls from favour among the industry's most loyal buyers.
Figures provided to Fairfax by Roy Morgan Research show that in the 12 months to September last year 30 per cent of 25- to 34-year-olds said they drank bottled water, compared with 36 per cent in 2007. In the 14 to 25 age group, 33 per cent drank bottled water compared with 35 per cent in 2007.

I,ve never understood the bottled water market . Why not fill up a container from the tap ? It seems odd that a litre of a processed product is cheaper than an equivalent amount of water . Milk has water in it , soft drink the same , petrol doesn,t but all can be cheaper than straight water in a bottle .
