Is perrier addictive? One time my family tried perrier and we've been buying dozens of bottles of it at the supermarket. Yet, I don't seem to like it.

it is addictive i'm drinking it right now and reading Justine by Marquis de SadeBrohanska 23:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is not to me, to say the least. I first had some perrier in the later 2006, and I'm not addicted to it, I just drink some now and then, much less than pepsi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.210.0.71 (talk) 02:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"In the James Bond film GoldenEye, a Russian tank piloted by Bond crashes into a giant truck carrying Perrier. Afterwards, Perrier employees took on the painstaking task of retrieving all the bottles, intact or broken. This was to avoid having black marketeers in Russia sell "counterfeit" Perrier using the bottles." Did the stuff after the first sentence happen as part of the movie, or in real life? 71.226.17.185 03:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this article have something on the Perrier "Art Bottles"? An example of what I'm talking about is here: http://www.jjinks.com/perrier.html

Do the bubbles in the Perrier make little mounds in your stomach My bff told me that!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.219.176 (talk) 13:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course Perrier does not leave little mounds in your stomach, bubbles from Perrier would simply go with the carbonated water, through your system. Obviously your "bff" has been messing up your mind a bit... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.162.30 (talk) 01:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The statement in the article claims that Perrier is "naturally carbonated", then proceeds to explain that carbonation is manually added later, which is contradictory. This needs to be clarified.

History

QUOTE: "...the United States, Perrier is actually pronounced as it is spelled rather than with a French accent; a ploy made by their corporate division in France to raise decreasing sales in the US." The preceding appears to be incorrect. I have never heard the name pronounced here in the U.S., in advertisements OR by those who drink it, other than as the French pronunciation. I suggest this sentence be deleted. B. Polhemus (talk) 15:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

False Claim?

Can all the water sold by Perrier across the world come from one single spring in France as is claimed? What about the benzene contamination in the US? Surely they would have picked it up in France? How do we know these bottles are not being bottled at various locations around the world?--Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:37, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Product placements

Most of the Perrier in popular culture references are to product placements. Is that actually what is meant by the use of Perrier in popular culture? Could not this section then also contain a list of every advertising campaign conducted by Perrier, since this is also an aspect of popular culture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.132.153.189 (talk) 17:20, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mineral Content

The mineral content listed in this article is very different from nestles water analysis report for perrier. They list a nitrate content of just 1.4 mg/L versus 18 mg/L in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.110.132.104 (talk) 18:45, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dates?

When did Perrier first get bottled? When was it advertised in Daily Mail? When? The early history is lacking dates.
