About Paul Spoerry
I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.
I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.
I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
Why is it just plan tap water just like all the other waters
According to their website SmartWater is procured from “municipal water systems.” AKA… tap water.

In Germany it gets even weirder.
Tap Water is highly regulated and has to adhere to very strict standards.
Bottled water on the other hand isn't under such rules.
Every test they did in the last decades all concluded, that many bottled waters were by factors not as good as tap water all around the country.
What do people do though? They still buy that shit…
$4 a bottle and it doesn't even have a grape in it.
+Ronny Terhuerne the situation is much the same in the USA.
I confess, I buy it. Usually when traveling. It's quite convenient. I like the taste of Smartwater plus, while my town's water in award winning, I never know I'm gonna get on the road.
I've heard others say they like the "flavor" as well. I usually carry a water bottle with me but if I don't and want one for the road it's cool. That said, we're wasting so much plastic one what's essentially bottled tap. It's the people who buy it for their house that kill me. Get a damn Britta… it'll save you money and the environment.
+Paul Spoerry Agreed.
