What You See Is What You Get
Items purchased yesterday at the West Seattle Thriftway:1 - 12.6oz Voss still water
1 - 4 pack of Talking Rain Sparking Water Natural flavor
2 - small San Pellegrino sparkling Waters
1 - bottle of Ty Nant water in the award winning PET bottle that was voted 8th coolest item in the world right now [2003] (oh yes, that's how I roll)
Also in cart: milk, Oatmeal Raisin Spelt Cookies and a cucumber.
Apparently we like our water. I don't know where our fascination with water came from lately but we've been drinking a lot of it, and all different kinds. Mostly I buy them for the bottle because if I can reuse it, I will. I used to spend far too much money buying the nice Nalgene type water bottles, but I could only use them for so long before they started to get icky. It actually all started on our little get away to Portland where we stayed at the Westin and got this free bottle of AcquaPanna that had the niftiest sport top that I'd never seen before. Well, I used the hell out of that bottle and eventually realized it was time for a new one. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find that same bottle anywhere, so I've been looking for substitutes. As for the Sparkling water, Shawn's been on a kick lately. I personally can't get into it. It's water that makes me burp as if I were drinking soda, and that's just wrong.
I would have to say that so far my favorite water and bottle that I've come across is Biota, only because the bottle is made out of 100% corn and is biodegradable. I like the fact that it comes from a renewable source and that it just disintegrates (under the proper conditions of course). I guess I'm a bit of a hippie like that. Though so far I've only found it at Whole Foods, which is a bit out of the way. They need to get on it and open the one in West Seattle already.
