Why is it becoming so difficult to buy ordinary mineral water?!


Question:

Why is it becoming so difficult to buy ordinary mineral water?

I had to go in to three shops today before I found a bottle of non-flavoured water. I don't like the flavoured stuff, it tastes weird!


Answers:
I have to agree, even though I like flavoured water!

Most places only seem to carry one type of water and don't restock a vast amount....so it seems to me anyway.

Maybe because people are not buying it in sufficient quantities any more. This is the usual reason things go out of supply.

Not sure which country you are in but in UK Tesco and all supermarkets have loads of it

WATER TREATMENT needs money n time

Marketing research and product managers are pushing more diverse products and retailers are getting confused as to what to order, many would just order new products, new "flavors" and/or what is on promotion (by the manufacturer/distributor) or giving them the biggest profit margin.

As long as you shop regularly at your local grocery or market tell the owner or buyer to order plain mineral water for you.
