> It’s not going to be good for you

How about water ads? Can you specifically address how water isn't good for us, leaving aside absurd arguments such as "drink too much, and you'll drown!"

Water ads are not selling water, they're selling plastic bottles.

So when people go to buy a bottle of water, they really want the bottle itself, and not what's inside it?

I'll have you know that our local utilities actually do run billboard campaigns to drink tap water. Yes, it's excellent and many people do :P

The water ads I've seen aren't for water from the tap, but are instead pushing bottled water which aren't quite the same thing.

I've never seen an ad for fresh running water from the tap. Bottled water on the other hand, in addition to being overpriced, often contains microplastics.

Just pointing out that these do exist in some [1] places. But yeah, generally you're right.
