RUSH: You know, back in the early days of the gasoline price going up, everybody was dumping on these guys. We compared the prices of various other liquids. Milk by the gallon; water by the gallon, of course, when you buy it in bottles and so forth. I said, ‘My gosh, can you imagine how the oil company guys feel about the bottled water guys?\u2019 And I\u2019m making a joke. All they do is turn on the tap, put a bottle under the tap, put a label on it saying ‘spring water,\u2019 and sell it to you. They don\u2019t have to drill. They don\u2019t have to explore. There\u2019s no R&amp;D. There aren\u2019t any regulations. They don\u2019t even have to put fluoride in it. I was exaggerating about the bottled water guys putting it underneath the tap, but it turns out I was right. Even when I\u2019m joking, I was right. ‘PepsiCo Inc. will spell out that its Aquafina bottled water is made with tap water.\u2019<\/p>\n

Yes, right here, I hold the story right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. This is ‘a concession to the growing environmental and political opposition to the bottled water industry. According to Corporate Accountability International, a U.S. watchdog group, the world\u2019s No. 2 beverage company will include the words ‘Public Water Source\u2019 on Aquafina labels.\u2019 (Laughing.) That isn\u2019t going to help them in Rio Linda. Why don\u2019t they say, ‘This water came from the same type of tap in your kitchen.\u2019 Public water source. ”If this helps clarify the fact that the water originates from public sources, then it\u2019s a reasonable thing to do,\u2019 said Michelle Naughton, a PepsiCo North America spokeswoman. Pepsi Chief Executive Indra Nooyi told Reuters earlier this week the company was considering such a move. Pepsi\u2019s Aquafina and Coca-Cola Co\u2019s Dasani are both made from purified water sourced from public reservoirs, as opposed to Danone\u2019s Evian or Nestle\u2019s Poland Spring, so-called ‘spring waters.” Look, Dawn\u2019s got a bottle of Dasani she\u2019s drinking in there right now. You may as well have run water from the tap. I knew it. I knew it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
