Drano will probably get banned at some point, on the grounds of being

Yeah, they're starting to ban bottled water, now.

Funny, that. Something like 1% of the water used by man is bottled. The
other 99% is used for irrigation, food-prep, cleaning, and the like. But
it's the bottles they hate.

I think the anti-bottle nuts believe that we have committed a moral sin of
Promethean proportions, akin to the sin we committed when we started to use
hydrocarbons for energy. Basically, when religious nuts take over, you
can't win.

It is that 1% of water that people drink which is stored in plastic
bottles
which are made of chemicals which can cause cancer that people are
so worried about...

Especially since that bottled water sits in the bottles you buy it in
for
a while between when it is bottled and when you buy it and drink it...
During the transit it gets awfully warm during the summer months in
a delivery truck and the plastic bottles leech chemicals into the
water...

But it is your body and your cancer... Bottled water is essentially
the
world's biggest scam... Why buy someone else's filtered municipal
tap water when you can seriously just use your own and buy a
better home filtration system instead ?
