Probably. Even the soda beverage companies use a water filter in the food places when they make and sell their soda pop.

Hey Rodney all you have to do is go down to your local pub, talk to a few people about your dilema and "Bob's your Uncle" somebody will come to your recue and say quote " I know a mate of mine that will do it for few quid on the side" and that's all there is to it ( sorted )

Well I fell for it.
We have pickled walnuts so why not the pickled egg thing?

Don't get me wrong I still want to go back and live in Blighty but I had a lot of good American things happen today.
I ordered a landline telephone today and it will be running tomorrow. Such service.
I opened a bank account today and they give me checks there and then and they are going to pay me a whole $125 opening an a new account.
I went to a dermatologist today and it didn't cost me a thing (insurance covered it) No waiting. In and out.
I have an operation in two weeks. No cost. In and out.
I got free sugar diabetes test sticks today no charge.
The only downer is I tested my blood sugar today and its still high, 174, after abstaining from all things containing sugar for two days.

According to a close family member who is high up in management for a fast food chain in US, soda is 3¢ of syrup and water that they carbonate on site, one heck of a profit there. minimum a dollar a drink if you get small, most people buy the family size bucket drink.

My mum & dad used to own a pub in Somerset and many folk ordered a pickled egg from the large jar on the bar and a packet of crisps and put the egg in the bag. Tried one once ...not my thing for sure.
