I see the craze with bottled water everywhere. Why not regular drinking water in an aluminum can?. You can make aluminum cans fit in your mini cooler, or open them in the car (or bicycle, treadmill) with one hand (no twisting), or stack them in a bigger cooler, or keep them in your fridge in one of those silly "fridge pack" boxes. They make canned lemonade, so we're getting closer to this novel concept.If not that, at least a can-shaped plastic container would be great for all the above reasons.

Analysis by experts using laboratory techniques have repeatedly determined that bottled water is no better in general than tap water and in many cases is definitely inferior as the bottled water companies are not under supervision to produce clean germ free water. The whole business is a successful scam in countries where clean potable tap water is available. See http://www.nrdc.org/water/drinking/bw/exesum.asp
The idea originated in Europe (think Perrier)and regardless of the benzine in the water people percieved it to be healthier than tap water, which it probably is in some locales. Why it became such a must have item in the USA is mystery.
Off topic: how does bottled water expire? To be honest, I kind of understand how it might become unsafe to use over the years, but as a notion, it doesn't sit right with me. The conception is that once you seal something, it should be invulnerable to spoilage. Apparently, water does indeed spoil, and should be tossed out some easily determined amount of time after "manufacture".
I asked the same thing about expiring bottled water and the answer I was given was that after a period of time the plastic in the bottle starts disintegrating and releasing chemicals into the water.
It occurs to me that if wine can last for 50 years or more in a bottle that water could too.
In wine, fermentation produces alcohol and consumes oxygen, which prevents bacteria from growing. There's nothing in water to prevent bacteria from growing, even if it is in a bottle. You could try to sterilize the water with irradiation, but that would probably cause the bottle to degrade.
Properly pasturized water would have no organisms present to grow. For that matter (as far as I can find), aside from a few trace minerals, there's nothing in water to promote growth of harmful organisms.
actually dasani makes canned water my friend just told me
I've seen drinking water distributed by Anheuser-Busch in aluminum cans for Hurricane Katrina disaster relief.
