Now that sounds like a water myth .

That sounds weird. You can't put something in a container meant for consumption and then say it's free if you pay for the container...it's semantics. Because that would mean you wouldn't have to meat FDA labeling requirements. Since bottled water falls under the regulation of the FDA in the US if there is such a law it's a worthless one.

It's actually considered a "packaged food product". That's why it falls under the FDA as opposed to the USDA or or the EPA in the case of tap water. Each state has it's own guidelines, permits etc, though and in some cases it's handled by their agriculture departments...but it's all overseen by the feds (although I'm not saying that it's overseen well, necessarily).

Heck, 85% of water companies are members of the IBWA which is an independant organization where it's members submit themselves to even stricter guidelines than the government. Sure is a lot of trouble for something you're giving away .

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
