Bottled water.
I just got the electric bill and I guess I never really paid attention to it before now. In our house last month we consumed 8,800 gallons of water and the bill was $23.73. Converting gallons to liters makes it 33299.2 liters. So tap water costs 0.00071264 cents a liter Bottled water costs $1.59 a liter What a markup --------------------   |
