This works with any kind of beverage in which there are no floaties, eg, orange juice would not work because there are bits of orange suspended in the liquid. From what I understand, when water freezes, it needs some sort of rough surface or disturbance for crystals to form. I know this works because I tried it with a bottle of spring water (200 ppm dislolved solids, so definatley not pure) after watching the first video here on VS. the seconf the bottle is shook and there is disturbance great enough to allow crystals to form, the bottle freezes over. It is more like a slush and not solid ice, and the bottles that I forgot about were completly frozen solid the next day. I only kept the bottle in for about 3-4 hours and it worked like in the video. I bet that if you put a rock in the bottle or something, the water would freeze and this would not happen.

It's just water! It's funny how celebrities are so uppity about the type of spring water they can have... it's always NOT Evian or NOT Dasani or something like that... Spoiled Children.

NRDC‘s report (1999) points out that as much as 40% of all bottled water comes from a city water system‚ just like tap water. The report also focuses on the fact that 60 to 70% of all bottled water is exempt from FDA‘s bottled water standards‚ because it is bottled and sold within the same state. **Unless the water is transported across state lines‚ there are no federal regulations that govern its quality.**

City tap water can have no confirmed E.coli or fecal coliform bacteria. FDA bottled water rules include no such prohibition (a certain amount of any type of coliform bacteria is allowed in bottled water).
----------

By law, municipal water supplies must supply its customers a chemical analysis of their water composition.
----------
In compliance with FDA regulations, bottlers must submit water samples, to either in-house or outside testing labs, to be analyzed for physical, chemical and radiological parameters on an *annual* basis.


Only 25 percent of bottled water comes from municipal sources. The remaining 75 percent of bottled water sold in the U.S. comes from natural underground sources, which include springs and wells.

* Mineral Water - This type of water contains at least 250 parts per million total dissolved solids (TDS). It comes from a source tapped at one or more bore holes or spring, and originates from a geologically and physically protected underground water source. No minerals may be added to this water.

* Purified water - This type of water has been produced by distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis, or other suitable processes. Purified water may also be referred to as "demineralized water." It meets the definition of "purified water" in the United States Pharmacopoeia.

* Sparkling Water - This type of water contains the same amount of carbon dioxide that it had at emergence from the source. The carbon dioxide may be removed and replenished after treatment.

* Spring Water - This type of water comes from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the Earth's surface.

acually the water in canada comes from bc you fuckhead acual spring water

The point is that most bottled water indeed comes from municipal sources.
Yes, spring water, yada yada.

You can argue against chlorination and fluoridation, but not that Coke's bottling plant is better water than what comes out of your tap.
