We all know disposable water bottles are wasteful and bad for the environment, yet their production is growing rapidly everywhere. Just 20 years ago the market for plastic water bottles was practically nonexistent, but today we produce billions of these completely unnecessary products. There can be only one sane response, plastic water bottles must be banned!

It doesn't seem logic to me that we drink a bottled water in 5 minutes and that bottle stays for more than 100 years making harm to the planet, just because you were lazy enough to bring your own reusable water container.

Guess the countertop filtration thingy I bought a couple weeks ago was a huge waste of money... Ha ha, April Fools' Day in October! In the first couple paragraphs I thought you were serious and wondered how it could possibly be, lol! Snarkiness wins!!!

Ok, I was seriously **Gasping** at this post until I read further. Pretty funny..

Plastic bags and plastic water....really just bad habits that need to be broken. Why can't people just go back to swearing to feed their bad habit fix!

Okay I was scared there for a moment. Whew!

Why stop at bottled water CC?

Don't you realise just how polluted the air (especially in Seattle) is? What is needed is a personal supply of pure and clean 'Organic C02'.

I am going to start a business exporting this to the world, by filtering and bottling air from the remote wilds of Scotland drawn off from over deep sourced fresh mountain springs.

I will use plastic bottles, naturally, and these will need to be very thick and dense (as well as unrecycleable) in order to take the extreme pressure of the compressed "Organic Eco-air". Do you like the title?

Why didn't I think of this earlier? I could be the next Bill Gates!

Must dash, as I am just off to register the name....

And to THINK, I was rolling my eyes at Tom. But you, you have really opened my eyes. I wonder if I can artificial colouring, flavouring, and vitamins in my plastic. Because then I might not even need to eat anything else, either. Mmmm...good! ;)

My heart sank a little when I began reading this, and then my snark-o-meter kicked in. Thankfully.

I never really understood the bottled water obsession. Yes, I've occasionally bought some, and those occasions were when my options were pass out from dehydration, or buy the stupid water wrapped in plastic.

Anyway, the sarcasm made my day.

So funny that you linked to Brawndo. My husband actually bought a bottle once just because he couldn't resist the name.

I wondered if he was joking or serious, too, in his comment back to you. Now that I read it again, I think he has a dry sense of humor like you. I really hope that's it, anyway.

So now that we can back off the bottled water industry, whatever will we do with all the extra time?

Oh, and I hope your readers will actually comment on the blog post. We can't let him get away with this crap.

WOW... I was a bit nervous when you started the post, but by the end, I could taste the sarcasm running out of the bottles! Lovely post, comment, and best wishes on replying to TL... LOL

2009-10-22T08:26:03.067-07:00

okay, that response is AWESOME.

We totally only have to worry about the safety of packaging if we actually eat it. Just like we only have to worry about lead paint if our kids eat the chips!

(I shouldn't joke about that, when we were doing lead remediation, people actually said that to us a lot. I figure it was the Lead-Paint Lobby Talking Point of the '70s, or something.)

That is crazy, you crack me up!

I can't tell if this guy has a sense of humor, or if he's really just got something loose in the frontal cortex. Here's his response:

"Dear Chicken: The FDA recommends consumers not eat plastic bottles, utensils or containers. There is no known nutritional value and you are removing valuable material from the recycling stream. Let me know where yoyu live and I'll refer you to a family-owned water bottler, but be advised that they, too, will admonish you against eating the water container."

Unfortunately, based on his other comments, methinks he is serious.

After I finish cleaning the spewed coffee from my monitor, I will start a campaign for a required standard font for sarcasm/satire.

Thank you, Crunchy, for shedding some light on this. I suppose I shall ditch the filter on the faucet and head out for some Fiji myself.

Your snark inspired me to visit the post. Fascinating. Makes me want to go on a mini-rant about a related phenomenon, fruits & vegetables wrapped in plastic. Organic fruits & vegetables. Grr.

Oh, I do love a well deserved snarky comment!
