Water Wars

In my quest to avoid drinking too much soda pop, I've taken to swilling an ungodly amount of sparkling mineral water. I usually go through four or five one-liter bottles every week.

Fortunately, our local epicurean supermarket concerns have kept up with my needs. First Whole Foods introduced its own 360 brand sparkling mineral water at 99 cents per liter. Then H-E-B came out with Central Market brand sparkling mineral water at the same price. Now Whole Foods has upped the ante by selling a six-pack of 1-liter bottles for just $4.99. The only catch is that the bottles are plastic instead of glass.

Where'ya at, H-E-B?
