Penn & Teller Investigate Bottled Water

You might have heard lately that a few places have decided to ban bottled water, in an effort to get people to use tap water more often.

 

There are many arguments for buying bottled water, including wanting to drink cleaner water, and liking the taste of bottled water more than tap water.

 

The following video is Penn and Teller's investigation into bottled water in New York city. Some of what they learned may surprise you. For example - a 4 year study showed that 33% of bottled waters violated their own standards of water quality. The data is mostly from the US, but the results are still very interesting.

 

Oh, and note: this video does have some strong language, so you might not want to show this one to the kids. Enjoy!
