If "funny tasting water" upsets you, then sugary drinks-- which kill thousands of people through obesity-- should scare the daylights out of you.

I am free to chose not to drink sugary drinks, but I can't change my current tap water, except for paying for bottled water

You could get water delivered to your home in large 5 gallon jugs. Its not quite as bad as the small bottles.

Why the scare quotes? Tap water in many places does taste funny. I don't drink it for the same reasons; instead, I get Ozarka (Nestle) water delivery. Also, you present a false dichotomy; I don't have to choose between sugary drinks and funny-tasting water. I can, and do, avoid both.

I have a feeling that "funny tasting" is all what you're used to. I'd bet that if you drink it exclusively for a month anyways, it will taste normal again.

You've obviously never drank Phoenix tap water.

I was under the impression that Nestlé's water mining practices were unethical (among their other practices). Any particular reason you advocate this product?
