It's water, but it's often nothing other than tapwater, except that it costs
2,000 times more than tapwater.

There's a lovely story around here of Nestle bottling water from a creek

licence. Imagine, free materials for your "manufacturing" process! Any
businessman would sperm in his undies at the thought.
