Water in bottles Cost
Should you got rid of the flamboyant Bling H2O bottle and lowered the price, wouldn't it still be worth it? How about the "regular" plastic bottles of water you discover in the store? Could they be even worth $2?
Bottled water is becoming very popular that 41 billion gallons are consumed every year around the world. Many people consider it safe and convenient. Over the past few years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many water in bottles companies labeling their product as "purified" or "natural spring water" have confessed to filling many with simple tap water. In July 2007,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for example, Pepsi admitted to filling bottles of Aquafina with public water,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even though the packaging suggests water originates from natural springs [source: Environmental Working Group]. Recent reports have figured bottled water isn't any safer than tap water,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the costs of producing the drink and it is impact on environmental surroundings have caused some alarm [source: National Geographic News].
To comprehend how expensive regular bottled water is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], let's compare it with gasoline. With the cost of oil rising, we typically think about gasoline as very expensive. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some people will barely blink an eye at obtaining several bottles of water in the same gas station. Listed here are the numbers:
A gallon of gas costs around $3. As we assume a one-liter bottle of water from the store costs about $2.50,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a gallon of the identical water in bottles should cost about $10. Water,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], life's most necessary substance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], costs around three times more than gasoline as it pertains in a plastic bottle. If you wanted to fill a car's 15-gallon tank with gasoline,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it would set you back about $45. Should you desired to fill that same 15-gallon tank with water in bottles, it would cost you $150 [source: National Geographic News].
Tap water,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, costs a fraction of the price of bottled water. Exactly the same $2 you spend on the liter of bottled water can get you about 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 gallons of tap water [source: EPA].
So, even though it's cheaper than Bling H20,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bottled water is still expensive. Next,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we'll take a look at a few of the other products on the market that appear to cost more than they're worth.
