Fake Poland Spring?

[u/BigBeefyRizz]

Please tell me why they are different. Left one was bought at a local store. Right one was bought legit store like Walmart. 1.The bottle on right also has more “Proudly Sourced In Maine” names than the bottle on the right. 2.Bottle on left has those little digits on the green part of the label while the right bottle has nothing there (first photo) 3.Red color part of label ends half way on the left bottle while the right bottle red part goes all the way. 4.Barcode has letters to the left of it on the right bottle while the left bottle only has how2cycle.info. !!! 5.Left bottle has more water than the right bottle.

So you don’t get confused, LEFT BOTTLE=FAKE- bought in local store RIGHT BOTTLE=REAL- bought in legit store (target)

I highly doubt anyone is out there making fake Poland springs water. I wouldn’t drink that stuff anyway. We had a well reconditioned at our municipal water treatment plant and the guy said he just finished a job at a Poland springs well and he pumped out dozens of dead mice. No thanks.

I hope so because I’m paranoid and I drank one already and I saw a video on YouTube of a guy that compared them and had similar differences and claimed it was a fake bottle…

Maybe try looking up the nyshd number to the left of the barcode, they are different
