I've purchased water at least 20 times from the street peddlers, every bottle was sealed. On occasion, I've seen them getting restocked by another guy delivering cases of water that are plastic wrapped.

If you're dumb enough to buy a bottle thats not properly sealed,i'd say thats your own dumb fault. I prefer those guys MUCH more than the plain ol' beggars and porn slappers. JMO tho.

Disclaimer:I've never bought a bottle from them nut dont hink i would hesitate to do so if i was thirsty,of course checking the cap before i paid for it.

I agree with Snidely and John. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one as long as I can take it out of the cooler, it's sealed & I open it. I don't mind these guys selling water on the strip. Like John said at least they not begging and porn slapping.....they're making 85 to 90% profit and a buck a bottle so good for them.

I think the peddlers charge $1.

At the ABC Stores (2 in PH, one downtown, and more but I can't remember where) the BIG, cold bottles of water are $1.

We drink so much water we bring a case with us. Helps that we drive most of the time.

Most of the ones I've noticed were still in plastic wrap and obviously sealed Aquafina, Great Value, etc. I have no problems w/these sellers; free enterprise!!! But, I do take issue w/the litter caused by the people taking the slapper cards and throwing them on the ground. It gets very slippery and dangerous, not to mention being an eyesore.If ya don't want the card, don't take one! They'll just hold onto them until they're taken.AND, why are they all females on those cards? I bet there are some gigolos run by those services and want to be on cards too

Sounds like someone's ready to shake their groove thing.
