Aquafina (Pepsi) and Dasani (Coke) are just soda companies bottling tap water so they don't lose business.

Really, for the most part the only reason to drink bottled water is convenience. While there are exceptions, blind studies have shown that most (not all) people who say they don't like the taste of their local tap water can't tell the difference between it and bottled water when blindfolded.

What I like is the theory (not enough support to say it is correct) that tooth problems are on the rise because people are drinking to much bottled water and not enough fluoridated tap water.

Well, they're not bottling straight from the tap. They're purifying, in both cases, with reverse osmosis.
