These are Safeway brand produces. Some of our larger grocery chains offer their brand of soft drinks at a reduced price as a sort of courtesy. I think this also occurs at Walmart, Costco, etc.

I work for a small B&B down the road in the summer. The owner rents small cabins that have their own bathrooms and cooking facilities. They have well water that is fed by glaciers and the nearby river. The water comes out ice cold from the tap and is very tasty. I have seen tourists bring in bottled water and even use it to brush their teeth. It always amazes me.

I suppose, if we're going to have fad, bottled water is certainly not a bad thing. If our kids are carrying around bottled water instead of soft drinks, it's better for them. I suppose we really don't believe the 'best things in life are free'.
