BTW: Any Italians here? If so, do you really think San Pellegrino is good? Because I just bought some the other day and apart from the badass bottle (that was worth the price) it just tastes like sour water, as is the case with all sparkling water. Why is this such a prestigious brand?

Actual water in Italy was rancid for a majority of the modern day age (you should know this). The reasons Germans are famous for their beer is the same reason. European water was poisoness for a while, just as it is in Mexico.

Sparkling water (San Pellegrino) was a replacement for such bad water. So was wine, beer, liquor, etc. It's extremely special because sparkling water gave people something to drink instead of something to die over.

EDIT:

Now that water filtration is better, people still drink it. It's to the same effect as a twinky or American chocolate, except those will actually kill you. Twinkies were from a time that people wanted fast food and junk food. Now that people love it, after its time has already past, people still eat it because it's a hobby. Same with San Pellegrino.
