    **** you just don't understand

    For me it's bottled water. I get offering it at gas stations, convenience stores, etc. Never know when you'll need it. But I've watched so many people use it as a primary source of water. It's moronic.

    Bottled Water averages like 1.22 a gallon or something like that. Tap water is universally available for under a penny. I've seen numbers from a tenth to 4 tenths. I'm guessing it depends on your local prices. Regardless a lot lower.

    I haven't ever seen for the life of me a scenario where bottled water pays off. People have brought up a tail gate.

    Let's say oyu have a large tailgate, 20 some odd people so you get 10 gallons of water. In bottled water you'll spend at least 10 bucks unless there's an amazing sale. I can get a 10 gallon igloo cooler for about 50 bucks. May not be igloo brand but I digress. So how does it make sense In a max 6 fills of that puppy, it's paid for itself. For those who played sports, you know those things last forever. Only expense is cups.

    Basically imagine a world. Everyone carries around a bottle It can be filled with water. You can fill it up at home, or at work, or if you're at a tailgate from a cooler. Imagine that world. How insane would it be? More importantly though, imagine how much money you'd save.

    I see 2 uses for bottled water. Disaster relief and for travelers who need some. That's it. I don't see it as an everyday consumer good.

    Mustard has different costs associated with it based on ingredients and scale. It's much cheaper to make French's Yellow than a local maple horseradish mustard.

    While I love me some yellow mustard on a hotdog or pork roll sandwich. I'd much rather have that maple horseradish on my sandwiches.

    Bottled water is WAY down the list. At the top are things like astrophysics, new jersey, and random threads.

    There's nothing to get about Jersey. Best state in the union. Name one other state who's produced as many bad mother****ers? It doesn't happen.

    Would anybody voluntarily move to New Jersey?

    Having lived in California and Utah I have to say Nevada is one of my least favorite places on earth.

    Nevada is clean except where all the nuclear waste has been deposited.

    I'll take almost every western state over Nevada.

    I mean, there is nuclear waste all across the country. And there's exponentially more of it in the Northeast than there is in Nevada. New Jersey has 37 dump sites compared to Nevada's 6.

    South Nevada is pretty boring aside from Vegas, but the North and entire side of the state that borders California is spectacularly beautiful.

    BTW, where in California? My love affair with the Pacific Northwest is kind of scary.

    Lived there for 4 years.

    I hated every moment of it after the first night there. Seen all I needed to see and wanted to move the next day.

    Visiting is great, living there, no freaking way. You are literally 4 hours minimum from civilization when you leave town.

    I don't mind Jersey, but admittedly I have spent most of my time there in Atlantic City and South Jersey and I hated both of those areas. The rest of the state seemed fine.

    The people I could do without. It's telling that I much prefer Pennsylvanians over the stubborn jack asses that populate Jersey.

    South Carolina is a bottom-10 state to live in when things like health, education, and safety, among other factors are considered.
    So, yeah. Not sure many would prefer it over Jersey.

    Pennsylvanians can't be classified as one group. While NJ has diversity in it, Pennsylvania is freaking weird. YOu have folks in the western part of the state who're more Midwestern, people in Pittsburgh and Cleveland have more in common than Pittsburgh and Philly, then you have the people who're more rural than Kentucky populating the central part. Then you have the more white trash types surrounding Philly, the New York types in the Scranton area, and so much more. Pennsylvania is a weird state for the north east. NJ is pretty diverse, New York has the NYC and then the rest of the state thing, Mass has the east/west, Maine has the south/north, New Hampshire has the Mountains/flatlanders, so on so forth. But Pennsylvania takes the cake for me because it's so heavily pulled by it's metros, and the surrounding areas as well.

    That being said, the majority of the NJ assholes are Philly transplants or wannabe New Yorkers. The rest of us shake out heads at that shenanigans.

    That is fair point. Lake Tahoe is incredible. I eat all the words I just said. I completely disconnect the two parts of the state in my mind. South Nevada (Prim, Vegas, Mesquite, etc.) is awful.

    Boss goes to Tahoe for his golf trip every year. He has been just about everywhere worth playing golf and they go there every year. It is on the to do list.
