I only drink water at restaurants and require no more than some ice and a slice of lemon. If I have to buy bottled water, just water, hold the advertising. There is NO “special water” that will make you healthier than plain water and a good diet. If you are paying extra for “special water”, you might as well get a tattoo that says “Gullible”.
If I’m in a restaurant. It’s water — no ice, no slice. At home, filtered water (from the fridge) please. Unless it’s morning—then it’s Bing® black™. (Water, lightly caffeinated, flavored with blackberry juice.) I don’t like the taste of coffee and my tummy doesn’t like tea. One Bing a day helped me kick a life-long soda habit.
This strip brings back a memory – about 15 years ago my business partner and I were in Scottsdale for a conference. We hit a grocery store in the area in search of some water – yes bottled. I did not have a reusable flask and wanted a bottle or two to sip on while tending our booth at the trade show. I found the water aisle in that store and I think they had more varieties than listed in the entire strip. They did NOT have plain bottled water. Figured that store was in a yuppie neighbourhood. Ended up buying one bottle of flavoured water, pouring it out (I don’t like flavoured water – unless it is flavoured with a good single malt – and that would be a waste of scotch) and filling it with tap water from our room. Judging from the strip I guess that was not the only place where there was a whole aisle dedicated to not plain water.

I confess I like Hint Cherry flavored water…no calories, no carbonation, just a slight “hint” of cherry.
