Fiji Water is very popular among Hollywood celebs. You can find it at almost if not all celeb events. It is the #1 prefered brand of bottled water by celebs to drink during the Toronto International Film Festival. Although Toronto's Mayor David Miller banned plastic beverage bottles in all municipal offices after another Canadian city, London in Ontario, we will still see a lot of Fiji water at the TIFF09. Some people even subscribe to a monthly supply of Fiji Water. It is a key ingredient in Michael Kors' "Island Fiji" fragrance.
