That's not bad. Still, I used to pay $1.00 or less (depending on the exchange rate) for Gerolsteiner or an equivalently tasty mineral water when I was in Germany. I'm happy that I get German water at all. We could only buy Perrier over in Korea. So you’re saying that American taxpayers are paying less shipping costs. That’s not bad.
