What brand is the first bottled water in the world?
How was mineral water born? /kloc-in the 0/9th century, some European aristocrats accidentally drank a mineral water and found it effective for urinary system diseases, so they began to fill it. Once this bottled natural mineral water came out, it immediately became a luxury for royalty, business tycoons and politicians to show off their identity. Nowadays, natural mineral water is still a status symbol in western countries. A bottle of natural mineral water is much more expensive than carbonated drinks and milk. The first bottle of mineral spring aquatic products in China came from Laoshan Mountain in Qingdao. At the beginning of the 20th century, German businessmen invested and built factories in Laoshan. The earliest name was "ALCA Healthy Water", which was bottled in glass. At that time, most of Qingdao were foreigners and outsiders, and the local population only accounted for 1/3. At that time, mineral water was expensive. In the minds of Qingdao people, this kind of water was associated with the aristocratic lifestyle. At first, this kind of water was rarely sold in China, mainly for export, and it was very popular in Southeast Asia. Domestic consumers began to generally accept mineral water in the 1980s. At that time, the water pollution of Huangpu River in Shanghai was serious and the water smelled bad. At the same time, there are problems in the water bodies in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basins, and for a time, the concern for drinking water has become a collective emotion. This water pollution has brought opportunities to mineral water enterprises. Originally expensive mineral water began to be accepted by consumers, and people thought bottled water was safe. It is people's trust in mineral water that some enterprises, driven by high profits, reprocess tap water to make purified water for mass production. A big battle in the bottled water market has begun. In the first "water war", mineral water undoubtedly became the biggest victim. At that time, Wahaha invested a huge sum of money to win CCTV prime-time advertisements, claiming that it was the purest water filtered by dozens of layers, while Nongfu Spring emphasized nature. The slogan "Nongfu Spring is a little sweet" is well known to women and children. The two sides also attacked each other on various occasions, and for a time the bottled water battlefield was filled with smoke. Later, in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of "killing one thousand enemies and losing three hundred for one's own side", the two sides each sounded the golden bell jar and withdrew their troops, laying their respective leading positions in the fields of pure water and natural water. However, the natural mineral water market is shrinking, and what's more, processing natural mineral water into pure water for sale wastes valuable resources. There are small vendors selling pure water and natural water in the name of mineral water in the streets and alleys, which makes many people mistakenly think that bottled water is "mineral water". Later, the bottled water market experienced brand wars and price wars, which made the originally unsettled bottled water market more chaotic. There are names such as "space water", "ionized water", "deep seawater" and "oxygen-rich water" on the market, and the name of a bottle of ordinary water makes consumers more and more confused. After several water wars, natural mineral water gradually found its own direction and began to be recognized by consumers.
