@Suzianne
This month's Consumer Reports has a big article about bottled water.
One thing they pointed out, in terms of consuming nano and micro plastics,
those drinking city water get about 4000 bits a year but those drinking bottled get 90,000. Don't know if there are proven health risks to that but there it is.
There are also bottled water companies just filtering city water and reselling it and it turns out to be a 34 BILLION dollar industry.

Back in the 1990's, I knew of a couple of Italian guys that were very pleased to fill this niche in New York.

@wolfe63 saidWeren't there some "Italian guys" who also used water for other purposes (Swimming with the fish)? 🤔

@torunn saidIsn’t that the way the British do their dead fish...wrapped, in newspaper?

@great-big-stees saidSo did we here when newspapers were preferred. Now it is mostly just paper.

@wolfgang59 saidWell I know they did 53 years ago, the second to last time I revisited my birthplace. The last time, 3 years ago, I visited, it was "newspaper looking" paper. Must have been for nostalgic reasons eh?

@sonhouse saidWhen I was a boy, every Sunday I would go to the local corner
@Great-Big-Stees
Yep, that news ink must spice up the fish somehow.....
shop for a block of Cornish ice-cream (no home freezers back then).
It would be wrapped in newspaper for the journey home.
I marvelled at the magical properties of newspaper ...
that it kept chips hot and ice-cream cold.
