Nestle "Pure" Life Lies

Read more here.
I hate the Nestle Foul Life commercials and their lies. I've never liked any of them, but this one is a new low. Yeah, let's ignore the fact that you can die of thirst even if you're drinking gallons of water, because you're also losing the sodium and other electrolytes your body needs to be able to absorb said water. That's why several people, including athletes, have died from treating dehydration with water. So, go Nestle, for telling parents and coaches to forgo sports drinks for Nestle Foul Life bottled water alternatives that don't adequately treat dehydration and are just bottled municipal tap water, increasing costs to consumers, hurting underfunded and under-appreciated public (tap) water, and causing environmental damage.

Not to mention the chemicals that can be released from plastic bottles when they get hot, or that bottled water is often no better than tap water anyway, or the amount of waste plastic water bottles produce.

So fresh and so clean!
