water review four?

Is this the fourth water? I don't remember.

When we were tripping around NYC on Tuesday, we stopped to get water at Duane Reade on our way to the Port Authority for the bus. I was hoping to get some of the artesian water I had the last time I was in the city.

At the one we were at, at 8th avenue and about 44th street, there was none in the coolers. On the floor you could buy it by the gallon and quart.

The graphic designer in me reached for the store brand spring water. The UPC code is a statue of liberty. Also available are a subway car, a skyline, and the Brooklyn bridge. All the store brand products have these UCP codes, and the are the major art work also. I was down right giddy in the trail mix aisle. My pix got awful, so I borrowed this one from a web site.

I had it in my hand and the graphic designer saw another bottle. It's a continuous label, which is what we are working on in out package design class. It's water and blackberry essence. Looks great and was cold. But really tasted like plain water, not worth the money. But then again, who wants to fill up their water bottle at a NYC public fountain?
