not all bottled water is created equal. The (multitude of) brands owned by nestle, coca-cola, and pepsi, as well as the regional bargain brands all do this (Read the fine print on the bottle). However certain of the large independent brands don't do this. Alaska Glacier Water for instance is bottled from a glacier in Alaska. They pay reps to inspect the entire logistical pipeline, and even send secret shoppers into the stores to make sure you are getting the genuine untampered product (I used to be one, It was the only water company who paid us to do inspections. Duracell, Energizer, and McDonald's care more about you getting what they manufacture and that it is up to spec than the not Alaska water companies do.) Fuji water is bottled exactly like they say in fuji, but then they are all loaded up into container ships and shipped all over the world in tiny inefficient bottles, you defiantly pay extra for the transport fees and logistics pipeline on those.
