In New York, we bottle chutzpah

In case you hadn’t seen enough signs of the apocalypse lately, I’ll lay another one on you.

This businessman from Ohio came to New York in 2003, drank a glass of water, and got an idea. He’d put our local tap water in a bottle and sell it for a buck-fifty a pop. This is not a joke:

Tap’dNY is a New York City bottled water company with a local twist and knack for honesty. We don’t travel the world from Fiji to France seeking water or offer the usual bottled water gimmicks. We work with NYC’s public water system to source the world’s best tasting tap water, purify it through reverse osmosis and bottle it locally, leaving out ludicrous transportation miles.

We offer an honest and local alternative to thirsty New Yorkers, giving them a smarter choice: to drink their own (award winning) water.

I’m waiting for my fellow citizens to laugh this guy out of town. Please, people. Start laughing.

Anyone?

Call me an outlier, but this commercial is just the kind of thing that makes me want to run screaming from our great nation. I’ll give you the short version, spied in my house during our every-four-years bout of television watching. (You know the one I’m talking about.)
