I decided to go back to using a filter pitcher for my water, since it’s cheaper and more environmentally responsible than the bottled stuff. But before you applaud me too loudly for my anti-consumerism, I will admit that I did get a slightly gimmicky and consumerist water pitcher. It’s from Pur, and the lid holds a little bottle of sugar-free fruit flavor. You can pour unflavored water normally from the pitcher, for any purpose, or you can pump a little button on the handle and add the colorless flavor concentrate as you pour. It’s actually kind of neat. The pitcher comes with raspberry concentrate, but there are other flavors available. I was afraid that the “unflavored” pours might still taste like raspberry, but the pitcher is cleverly designed so that the flavor and the water come out of different spouts and there’s no easy way for excess flavor to contaminate the supply.
