So, it's not price, it's not content. It's marketing.
While I agree with you, and like P&T, their show is not void of their own brand of bullshit.

That said, I most certainly can tell the difference between bottled water and hose water where I am from. Just smelling the water around here makes me physically sick, drinking it or even using it in ice makes me want to hurl. I'm not going to go spend $20 on a bottle of water but I'll be damned if it's my perception throwing me off.

Same thing with Coke. I don't give a shit what the average moron knows about it, I know Coke, Pepsi and store brand Cola by taste.
