Jay sez, "A new bottled water company is selling NY tap water in bottles and filling up people's empties as a way of spreading the word that tap is good, it's better for the environment than shipping bottles in from Fiji, it's fun, it's blablabla. You get the idea."

i never tried the tap water...

fiji water is really from fiji?
cause i watched a show on showtime a few years ago
and it was about how bottled water is bullshit
you have to read where it is "bottled in" cause i belive thats where the water comes from

either way nyc tap water is not that bad
the worst tap water i ever had was florida and california
tasted sooo bleachy

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Mmmm, bottled chlorine and micro organisms!

I'm not a water snob but I probably haven't had NYC tap water since 4th grade. It tastes freaking terrible. I've had better in other states. Can't believe a company's actually trying to bottle and sell TAP WATER. Like people can't do that shit themselves hahaha What are they charging for? The bottle?? It'd better not be more than 25 cents! . If they charge any more than that they should at least tell people it's NYC Spring water

the tap water in nyc is some of the cleanest in the world. it's treated like 7 times before it comes out of the tap which is sweeeet.

I drink the tap water but I also have my own filtered water jugs. I don't drink it straight from the faucet unless I have to. It's not horrible, but I've had better.

No its not. NYC's water is straight from upstate NY in the Catskills and does not go through any filtration.

NYC has some of the best water you can ask for. HOWEVER, the pipes in your building run a risk of compromising the taste. Thats the real issue, not the water itself.

Can you source this please?

I used to live in a brand new townhouse and the water tasted equally as shit as when i used to live in a building.
