Regardless of how it's sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear educated, and even a longing for lost purity.

Becoming more popular in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.  Arthur von Wiesenberger is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a record of the brands he liked best. "My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water," He says.  But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact. New York's drinking water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.  However, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share, as bottlers and restaurateurs are longing for the profits from it. A restaurant's typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, while on bottled water it's often 300 to 500 percent. As a result, some restaurants are trying to sell more bottled water. Some of the more shameless tactics include putting attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners whether they want it.  Regardless of how it's sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear educated, and even a longing for lost purity.
