Colbert's little tidbit on bottled water immediately brought Jim Gaffigan's stand up to mind. "How dumb do I think the Americans are? I bet you we could sell those idiots water. Let's just tell the Americans the water's from France." I mean, seriously, it is a dumb concept if you think about it from the consumer standpoint. You're sold 35 bottles of plain water when in reality, all you need is a couple of bottles to be reused. Brings me to another point - why 35 bottles [7x5] and not 36 [6x6]? Because the rectangular shape of the case makes it appear like you're getting more than if it were in a square. Sneaky marketers. I bet the majority of American households have some type of water filtration, whether built into the refrigerator or on the kitchen sink. All you need is plastic container and you're set for life. The ONLY advantage I see to having bottled water is for emergency. And we worry about water shortage - all we need to do is look in the back of Costco.
