Aquafina labels to spell out source - tap water

Reuters via Yahoo is reporting that Aquafina will start disclosing that Aquafina is nothing more than tap water from a public water source. Aquafina is owned by Pepsi.

It has always baffled me how something that is FREE in most American homes can be part of a $15 billion industry.

But here’s the real funny part

“Pepsi and Coke do not make a lot of profit” on bottled water, said Kolpak, a financial analyst

.

It water that they grab from a tap ! How could they NOT be making a lot of profit ? Fill bottle with free water, charge $2. Seems like a profit to me.

Remind me to never hire Dave Kolpak as my portfolio manager.

Big Brother 8

Tonight Joe was voted out 9:1

In the HOH competition Dick emerged victorious which is poetic justice. Now the question is will Dick put Jen on the chopping block or will he assume Jen is not a threat and nominatesomeone else ?

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review

I saw the latest Harry Potter movie this past weekend and I ‘d like to offer my short and sweet review. The movie was reported to be 2:18 in length, the shortest of the Potter films, and it still felt a little long. To me it was pretty interchangeable with the last two Harry Potter Flicks. I’m sure true fans will not feel the same way. I have to admit I don’t think I read anything after the first two books.

They really didn’t spend a lot of time on character development. Also the movie itself was really dark and I felt like I had to squint to see anything.

Overall I give it a C+ to a B-

Big Brother 8

I honesty don’t know why I bother watching Big Brother. Maybe because it’s the only thing on in the summertime. I am finding it rather amusing so far. As of right now Jen is the HOH. Once her reign as HOH is over I hope she’s the first to go.

The concept of an “Americas Player” is pretty cool. I wonder how CBS is going to handle it if Eric is voted out though.
