The Take

Bottled water earns a Slop Score of 62. It is literally just water with zero additives, yet it slaps a convenience tax on tap while dooming the planet to more plastic forever.

The marketing convinces people that municipal water is dangerous when the real issue is the bottle itself.

The Verdict

Skip it. Buy a Berkey filter or stainless bottle for one purchase that lasts decades of real water.

Slop Score 62.
