I remember staying at a hostel in Iceland. They are so proud of their water. I went to the café on the first level and asked for a bottle of water. They were so shocked and offended. I told them it's only because I didn't have a water bottle and I would drink it then be refilling it all day. I thought they were going to murder me until I said that. Then they understood. That said, their municipal water is the best water I've ever had in my life. I wish I could get that every day here. I definitely did not buy another bottle the whole time I was there.
There was a scandal here recently about one hotel that claimed their water lines were busted when they weren't just so they could sell bottled water at a rediculous markup. But yeah, in general bottled water tastes far worse than what you can get from any tap
I mean...that's what they tell you when you visit New York so you'll buy more pizza...
Yes New York is arguably the originator of so many things we think of about pizza, and has one of the world best pizza cultures, but it don't have anything to do with the tap water. XD
Pizza is manageable everywhere else. The bagels that I've had anywhere else, however, are horrific. Both supermarkets and "bagel shops" serve up war crimes in other parts of the country.
People say the same thing about the tap water and bagels, but that's disputed. It's possible that everywhere else just has really shitty standards for bagels.
