Blog # 10 : Manufactured Demand.

             Myth : "Bottled water tastes better than tap water."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              That's not true. The water doesn't have taste.In Albania in all my life I used to drink tap water and when I came here I started to drink bottled water. I didn't see any difference between them.I think that companies business and a lot advertisement make people crazy about water and they think that bottled water tastes better than tap water.                                                                                                                                     As the article said that"Whether one tastes better than other- it's how our tastes are shaped by advertising.We not only buy their myth, it turns out we pay extra for them."  That true people spend a lot of money to buy bottled water.They think it is the best.I don't think so.Exist a big advertisement which make people to think like that.  Last week I went to B.J for shopping. Was crazy day.A lot people were shopping bottled water. I shocked and I was curious about this action. I took a advertisement block from B.J. In the first page was a big advertisement about water  and I understood that buying 60 bottled of water you have $2 off.My example show that people pay  attention to advertisement and they buy more water than other food.
