Is anyone surprised that Asda and Tesco are bottling up tap water and selling it?!

For 17p there's nothing wrong at all. It's actually really handy if you just need an empty 2L bottle to pour alcohol into for festivals. Or if your car needs water whilst you're at the shop.

If they were like £1 a bottle on the other hand then it would be a different story.

It's under 20p a bottle & handy for filling up the window washers. No cares give.

If its in the daily mail it must be true. People buy bottled water when the stuff out of the tap don't taste good

Probably better for you than almost all mineral waters.

I've no problem with bottled water at that price. We buy them when we go on dive boats for the day and they're ideal.

"When people are struggling with their grocery bills the last thing they need is to be ripped off by eye-watering mark-ups and misleading labelling."

Rofl...
so buying water for 5x the price is better.. eye watering markups.. LOL
If it was pulling a Dasani and selling as a "premium water" that is a bit different. (Although the notion of "premium" water is bloody ridiculous aswell :P)

TBH 17p is a bit of a bargain for sealed container of water.
Oh the Daily Fail.. How i love thee!

When I'm out ...shopping or whateva I often buy bottled water when I'm thirsty. I couldn't care less if it's from the tap tbh, as it does me fine at home but I would expect to pay something for the privilege of having it in a bottle and so easily accessible. 17p.....A BARGAIN!!!

Just pain £1.50 for a 500ml bottle of drench water at the train station and it was not even chilled so the 17p from tesco is not really a rip off!

If you consider that water is rarely destroyed. We're always drinking Dinosaur Pee or someone else's through the history of time.

But i'm sure this water has been filtered, so its worth it for 17p or whatever the price is.

The label clearly says "table water" and nothing at all to confuse people into thinking it's spring or mineral water.

I go through 2L of the fizzy stuff every day. For still water I just use the brita filter in the fridge :)
