Sparkling Water Graphene Oxide, Hill Country Well Water
A discussion on sparkling water brands like Perrier and Le Badoit leads to a claim about "graphene oxide" being found in San Pellegrino. One host declares he has stopped drinking commercial sparkling water in favor of "heavenly" well water from the Texas Hill Country, which he plans to test for heavy metals.
Bottled Water Industry, Consumerism and Tap Water
A listener from Illinois questions the logic of the multi-billion dollar bottled water industry, comparing it to the absurdity of buying water if soda came free from a tap. The hosts trace the trend back to the 1970s popularity of Perrier and the 1980s health movement that mandated high daily water intake. They advocate for drinking regulated tap water in restaurants to avoid excessive markups, which can reach eight to sixteen dollars per bottle.
