Marks and Spencer has opened its transformed Pantheon foodhall in the heart of Oxford Street, and people are buzzing to see what goodies were on offer. One woman pointed out there was one feature she was especially thrilled by, and it wasn't how many tasty sweet treatsare on offer (Percy Pigs, anyone?), or the fact they've recently really upped their fashion offering. No, it was the simple pleasures in life that Chloe couldn't contain herself about.
Hailing the water display in M&S as "innovative" on TikTok, @clowi3 shared that "whoever thought of this is an absolute legend".
Chloe said: "So not only is the new M&S absolutely unreal, but they have this really cool water fixture that's a fridge, and they have all of these water bottles and they're all glass.

"And then they have this, you can see there's like sparkling water at the end."
She reiterated the bottles in the cabinet were "all glass," pointing out they were "freezing".
"Some of these bottles are absolutely unreal, like look at that Evian, and this one, it looks like Tequila. Like it's so cool. And then this one is boujie as f***, but it's £10," Chloe gushed.
However, Chloe may have been getting excited about expensive, arguably overpriced, water for £10 in Marks and Spencer, but others were less impressed by the fridge.
A man joked: "Don’t wanna brag, but I’ve got taps in my house that run as much water as I could possibly want."
Somebody replied: "You drinking tap water? Oh dear."
He responded: "Filtered, but yes. I’m not going to be responsible for the insane carbon footprint that comes with bottled water. Tap water is perfectly safe."
"What does £10 water taste like?" another man asked.
Someone responded: "Water. It’s a scam to rid the middle class of money so they feel like they are drinking something special."
A TikTok user wrote: "Not gonna lie, this just looks refreshing as heck."
Others argued that "bottled water is the same as tap water," but others disagreed, saying they "taste different".

What is the difference between tap and bottled water?Tap water is water supplied by water utilities directly from household taps. Government agencies treat and regulate it to meet safety standards for drinking, and its quality can vary depending on the source and the treatment processes used.
Bottled water, on the other hand, is commercially packaged water that is sold in bottles. It may come from various sources, including springs, wells, or even water utilities, but it often undergoes additional filtration or purification processes.
Regulations for bottled water can differ from those for tap water, and bottled water is typically marketed for its convenience, taste, or perceived purity.
While both types of water are generally safe to drink in many developed countries, tap water is usually much less expensive and has a lower environmental impact due to reduced plastic waste and transportation needs.
Bottled water, however, may be preferred in situations where tap water quality is questionable or when portability is important.
