This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Tap water here costs £1 per 1,000 L.
£19 a bottle (1 L) would amount to £19,000 per 1,000 L.
So, nope.
Yeah but your water has subtle notes of PVC and chlorine and their water has subtle notes of oak and pretentiousness.
Funny thing is that ours doesn't even have PVC in it. We don't have chlorine in our water either.
We mostly have trace sand, chalk, and minerals, but that's it.
You guys don't have the joy of micro plastics in your water due to PVC piping in your homes for water? Really missing out on that one.
And they only charge £0,001/L crazy.
