Are Americans water snobs?

 

A new survey of 2,000 adults found that we have very strong opinions about what water we drink.

 

65% say they are “picky” . . . and more than half claim they can tell what kind of water they’re drinking without being told.

 

Some say they can even tell the type of water by the smell alone. And nearly half refuse to drink tap water in certain places.

 

But here’s the craziest stat:  37% of Americans would rather stay thirsty than drink the kind of water they don’t like.

 

And here’s a fun twist . . . Only a third of people know where the water they like actually comes from.  (Study Finds)
