Let’s pause for bottled water. Forty percent of bottled water is just tap water in a fancy disguise. Companies like Aquafina and Dasani literally bottle municipal tap water. They filter it a little, add some electrolytes “for taste” (you know, like adding salt to popcorn), and sell it for 300 times the price.

Meanwhile, tap water costs less than a penny per gallon. Let that sink in. You can fill a swimming pool for the price of a latte. And that latte’s water? Also from the tap.
But here’s the surprising fact: the water you’re drinking right now might be older than the sun. Some of Earth’s water predates the formation of our solar system. It came from icy comets and asteroid dust that smashed into Earth billions of years ago. You are drinking space debris that was cooked in a planet’s belly. Cool? Terrifying? Both.
