About the right time to mention the associated Penn &amp; Teller &quot;Bullshit&quot; episode.<p><a href="http://youtu.be/MHx6BX3HZJc" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;MHx6BX3HZJc</a><p>Yeah, water tastes different from different sources. I can tell that by drinking water from my well, then drinking from the city water source. However I am also not willing to pay for that difference.

I wonder if there are kits you can buy in the store to measure water quality like bacterial hard&#x2F;soft etc. Would be nice if there was a built in mechanism to upload tap water data with GPS coords which would then show on an online map

I don&#x27;t think people&#x27;s reaction to the water sommelier is derision — maybe more &quot;what kind of idiot do you take me for?&quot;

Right so don&#x27;t mock the som, mock the people buying into it, right?
