Look again before you take that swig!

We told you about reports of fake mineral water being sold in Beijing, but looks like the problem isn't just confined to the capital! A guy bought a bottle of mineral water in Hebei manufactured by the Hebei Province Yutian District Huibang Drink Factory (河北玉田县汇邦饮料厂) recently, and before he actually opened the bottle he found that there were tiny pieces of plastic as well as small organisms floating around in the water. This video is now registering over 32,000 views on Youku and hopefully this means the authorities will shut down the above plant soon. A commenter advises that if you're getting your mineral water for as low as RMB1 or RMB1.50 per bottle, it's highly likely to be a fake. So, more so than ever before now, cheap is not good, and always remember to look again before you take that swig!

I pay like 14 kuai for 19 litres home delivery (to the 6th floor without elevator, haha!)...
I saw Watsons offers these big water boxes too, and the Watsons water tastes great... Anybody knows how to order that?
