I just bought a small case of Aberfoyle from Home Depot at a very good price
($2.98) but I find them unbelievably hard to open. Maybe that's why they are
so cheap. :-)

My bottle says "sodium-free" but goes on to state;

Sodium 2.8 mg/250 mL
Potassium o.3 mg/250 mL

It says it is Natural Spring Water with a natural mineral content of 280
ppm/ flouride ions 0.2 ppm

It's greatest concentration is HCO3 at 210 ppm.

Perrier is (or will be) buying the company and Aberfoyle is apparently the
fifth largest portable bottled water manufacturer in North America. (I have
never heard of it until a week ago).
