So Germans use to drink water in glass bottles? I had no idea. Here you only buy in in plastic bottles.
Yeah, seems to be in quite Germanic thing, at least I saw a lot in Oberbayern and iirc it was more or less the same in Austrian Tyrol where I made a few incursion. Dunno whether that's so in Germanic Switzerland.
But then when you pronounce Switzerland in a thread about water, you must quote that wonderfull taste of Nestlé CEO:
There are 2 ways to see water, either you think this is a public good, something that should benefit to anyone without counterpart, we consider this is an extremist option, or you consider this is something that needs private investment.You'll find the exact sentence in that quite good documentary aired on arte recently (might still be available on their site, if you speak French or German). Nestlé being the 1st embottled water seller in the world.
'Amusing' how in the US they manage to own everybody by making big profits on selling tap water into bottles with 'Poland Springs', the documentary also showed how little cities in the Maine were being totally screwed by the exploitation of this water then sold all over the country.
Not that they are the only ones to do that anyways, Coca, Pepsi, etc, are all enjoying the 'maggic of the bottle'...
