Here's The Truth About Fiji Water

A wealthy founder with his very own island. A no-holds-barred fight with an entire city. A facade hiding the true environmental impact. Before you take another sip of Fiji Water, you might just want to learn... are they really 'Earth's finest water'?

Shipping a plastic bottle of water around the world from an island with a limited supply of water pretty much defines unsustainabilty.

as a Fijian the water has helped the nation grow for both good and bad. and i like fiji water more then others

[emosijougavule]

We Fijians normally buy Fiji water at price ie. 1.5 ltr: FJD$1.45 which is equivalent to USD$0.72. We got many varities in Fiji such as AquaSafe, VaiWai, Island Chill, AquaLife and many others that is slightly better than Fiji Water.

I worked for the sister companies of Fiji Waters and did a bunch of work for them back in the early 2000s and I remembered that the original owner sold the company to the Resnicks who owned the POM Pomegrante juice and Teleflora. It was Lynda Resnick who designed the rectangular design and branding and built it up.

I just started drinking this for my bone health. It has magnesium and I just had surgery. The high minerals help with bone healing. It’s expensive but I can afford a pack for a month and drink whatever other water I have

Water is a basic human right. Water, that's one element that has existed for as long as the earth has.
Today selling 5.00$ a small bottle.
Humans are disgusting.

This reminds me of that book “how Europe under developed Africa”

[skywatcher]

I support them for trying to avoid paying taxes at all costs.

This isn't the worst thing water companies have done for water. I don't remember what brand it was but it was one of the popular brands and they were getting water from land that was supposed to be preserved and safe for animals. This caused many of the animals to die.

FIJI AND PANNA ARE GREAT WATERS I had to drink a water of certain pH balance due to medications that I'm taking and these two taste the smoothest and once you take one sip makes you want to drink the entire bottle

[prvtlongarm]

Yeah, but Fiji water really does taste better

10:32 It's called that because the Cuyahoga River quite literally and famously caught on fire! That river runs through Cleveland and empties into Lake Erie. I know this because I'm from Ohio.

John 3:16-21

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

This used to be my favorite bottled water...till now! Thanks

I have never tried Fiji Water, but after seeing this video I will go buy a case

[kimnovak]

Contains Silica which pulls Aluminum out of the body

[Ebolter]

wasn't MJ Bilges 15 mins done back in 2000s ?

[GeorgeWPush]

Is Fiji water not sourced from Artesian wells anymore? It doesnt say it on the bottle anymore. Only "Natural Spring Water"

[dhLotan]

It's different if celebs push something they don't use versus they love the product and use it themselves. I can do a blind taste test and know which one is fiji among other water brands. It's definitely the better tasting water. Although Liquid Death is giving it a run for it's money in taste for me.

Oh and the taxes thing - yeah don't care. If you complain about someone not paying taxes, it's either because you are upset because you had to pay and they didn't, or it's because you're the government/entity receiving the tax money.

Free loading for over a decade? Wow. There must be a toll on the environment for tapping millions of gallons from it right? Is the water unlimited?
