Does Poland Spring Water Actually Come From Poland Spring?

While many bottled-water brands are named for specific springs, the majority of their water comes from other places.

Poland Spring, a bottled-water brand ubiquitous in the Northeast, made a cameo in the Republican response to the president's State of the Union address last month. In the middle of his speech, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio—usually a model of composure—darted a distressed look at the camera as he lunged off-screen to grab the bottle, popping back into the frame to take a swig. It was a moment that launched a thousand GIFs and a flurry of spoof Twitter accounts. Rubio himself played along, posting a photo of the infamous bottle online.
