Dear Person who adds a pack of water enhancer,

Come on buddy, you're better than that. Water, whilst being the most basic of substances, is perfect as it. Everything living requires it, there is nothing needed to add on, just drink it. It's a small wonder we have made it this far with ludicrous behavior such as this.

Let me explain, I have seen several commercials insisting that your “plain old water” can be spruced up. Im not talking about adding a flavor (although a watered down fruit flavor is gross as well), this is a packet that adds “minerals” to your tap. Not just to “enhance” flavor, but to make your drinking water healthier.

But, my drinking water is still drinkable right?

Alas, my point. The first word in drinking water explains it all. It is silly to add some chemical mixture to intensify this. And what are you really adding anyways? A bunch of man made, chemically induced, toxins in a lab with the same output as before. Sure, what's the worst that can happen by adding this? Well in these hard times, do you really want to shell out more money than you have to? Im not saying you will contract cancer, but even asbestos doesnt kill you immeadiately, it's the long term effects that get you.

And what is so wrong with the purified, filter water that most consume? Sure it's not from the mountain reservoir that costs more than gasoline, but it's still filtered.

The point is water is water, just fill up your cup and drive it home. If you must add something, add some ice (frozen water).
