OMG, Bottled Water!


And here I thought bottled water was just a recent gimmick, but while perusing through one of my favorite blogs (http://oldadvertising.tumblr.com/), I found this gem from 1910. It should not be that surprising considering how crappy drinking water was back then.

I was just watching How the States Got Their Shapes on the History Channel, and they had this segment of the history of Poland Spring. Coincidentally,I was drinking a bottle of Poland Spring water, and for the first time noticed the "since 1845" on the label. So bottled water has a much longer history than I thought.
