Ahhhhh. One of the kids gave us some authentic Mountain Valley spring water. It’s in a neat 25.3 ounce green bottle. “Bottled in the Ouachita Mountains” in Garland County, Arkansas. It even has a pronunciation guide - “WASH-ah-taw”. It contains (in mg/liter) 70 Calcium, 1 Potassium and 10 Magnesium. It’s good!
Sipping it I feel like Beck is watching over my shoulder…
Be careful, I hear that stuff is loaded with dihydrogen monoxide.
That’d be classified as (moderately) hard water.
Mix it with apple juice and you might say you have hard cider!
Long ago I started a thread on this very subject! There is no other bottled water. I used to keep a case of it under my desk at work
It’s the bomb-diggity for bottled water. Grew up in Arkansas, and on a trip back home to visit family many years ago, went to an Arkansas Travelers minor league baseball game at Ray Winder Field in Little Rock. We seemed to be on a lucky streak that night, as we won a couple of random drawing prizes (number printed on a particular page of the program) and got selected for one of the on-field contests. One of the things we won was a case of Mountain Valley Spring Water (the 16.9 oz plastic bottles). Obviously, it was summer time, and we were on the road most of the time, so the water stayed in the car and got heated up and cooled down many times. But every time we popped open one of those bottles, the water was just as fresh-tasting and refreshing as if it had just come out of the fridge. Ever since, we’re all devoted fans. I have been known to order a couple of cases of the plastic bottles even though the shipping cost was as much as the water. And every time my wife and kids are planning a long-distance road trip, they hit Whole Foods and buy a bunch of bottles to have with them on the road. They call it “magic water”.
