$75 Water: Worth It, or Money Down the Drain?

High-End Bottled Water Is Flooding the Marketplace, But Some Say It's No Better From What Comes From the Tap

If you have read any of my past posts, you know my feelings on this subject - Americans spent more than $10 billion on bottled water last year. Now, a new generation of luxury bottled water, with upscale packaging and price tags to match, is flooding the marketplace.

Bling H2O is one of the new high-end breeds. Its bottle, covered in Swarovski crystals, contains spring water from Tennessee. MMMmmmmmm… water from Tennessee!

"People are paying $40, $55, $60, $75 a bottle for the water, depending on where you purchase it in the hospitality industry," said Kevin Boyd, Bling H2O's creator. "It's definitely worth it. It's premium water, in premium packaging, that merits a premium price tag." Right! And I have a piece of land I would like to sell you – about 30 miles west of San Francisco!
