Why Are Upstaters Not Suing This Guy's Ass?
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-tapwater25-2009feb25,0,7763309.story

Zucker sold his honey company and used the income, along with investments from friends and family, to launch Tap'd NY in October 2008.

To bottle the stuff, Zucker and his business partner, Jon Flax, 26, who was recruited from Craigslist, pump the water together from a main in a Brooklyn warehouse they rent. Their water bill costs about $2 for every 748 gallons. They fill up a 5,300-gallon leased tanker truck, hiring a driver to transport the water 12 miles across the river to New Jersey to be bottled.

1. Let me get this straight. People in NYC are buying this "bottled water"
that comes straight from the tap in NYC? It really goes to prove PT Barnum's statement, that there is a sucker born every minute.

2. Where do you think most bottled water comes from?
If it's not labeled "spring water," they're not obligated to take it out of the ground themselves.
