water pt2: the brand debate

[xlisapisa]

I drink so much water that they all taste different to me. I prefer deer park or Kirkland brand (for affordability reasons), but I also do feel bottle water is a scam & tap water should be the way to go. I just can’t get use to the taste though, I do occasionally use the brita as well. If money was not an issue I’d definitely choose Evian!

Going with Izuku here,

I think they all taste the same with slight differences. As I mentioned in the other thread, I prefer tap water to be honest.

They pretty much all taste the same to me with slight differences. I also used to prefer tap-water but we have a water filter which pretty much cleans the tap water. So, I get my water from the filter + occasional cup of tap-water, but if I had to choose a bottled water, I love Fiji, despite it being pretty expensive, ahha.​

evian is god tier water

 

[InstantNoodles]

Tap water where I live is not the best because it's 'hard water' so it has a distinct taste even after filters. I like Evian in the UK and Bonaqua (a HK water brand)

 

[Alienfish]

The only brands I buy are sparkling/mineral water since I don't have a SodaStream or the like at home, I never buy like, bottled tap water unless it's really an emergency. So yeah "other" brands that are kinda local to my country what I know of.

I almost exclusively drink water, I honestly prefer it to most drinks. Good water is delicious, it just taste so nice and fresh. I drink mostly tap water, and feel it's pretty wasteful when I drink bottled water when I'm in a situation I can just get tap water.

That being said though, different water tastes totally different, and I definitely have preferences and sometimes get myself nice bottled water as a treat. Most bottled water actually tastes like garbage though? Especially Evian is just disgusting and way worse than most tap water. There are some brands that I don't think are being sold in the US that taste amazing though, and I get them deliberately sometimes, especially in summer.

Tap water itself is also vastly different. There is a town not far from where I live now where half of the town gets its water from a source just outside of it. That water is honestly the best water I've ever tasted, and every time I'm over there I drink as much tap water as I can lol.

Selling water is gross so tap water!

edit: I understand about water bill but as in bottled water

whenever i buy bottled water (which is like, maybe once or twice a year lmao i just use my water bottle w/ filtered water) i always get smart water. they usually have some pretty cool designs on the bottle, i like the cap, and the bottle is usually pretty big. i like to keep the smart water water bottles to reuse sometimes.

personally most bottled water tastes the same to me, maybe with some really, really, really small differences. i mean i think i would prefer most bottled waters to our tap water- the water in our city is icky (thats why we have a filter though). except for great value water idk what they do to it but it tastes so bad and i cant really drink dasani either
if im being completely honest though, the best water comes from these bad boys-

no water bottle company can compete with these fountains. they are god tier thank u

All bottled water tastes similar to me, but they are all different.

I’ve had Fiji water only once on an airplane so I can’t confirm whether I think it’s better or not.
Aquafina and Dasani are pretty weird tasting to me, like they have a ton of added minerals or something.
I like smart water, it doesn’t taste all that different but I like it!
I don’t actually know what box it looks very fancy, either way I don’t think I would get it if I had to pick a water.
I really really like Deer Park water, that’s the main brand we have in stores. I’ve grown up with it and I think it’s pretty good!

Like I said, they kind of taste similar to me so it was hard to rate them. Water is water (unless it’s Tops water, then it can dump itself into a lake or something )

 

[KrazyKarp]

Dasani is the only one that tastes weird to me. The others are fine, though I usually just do tap water.

Also eggie_ is 100% correct, those water bottle fountains are awesome!

I don't drink bottled water when I'm at home. The tap water here is plenty safe to drink, and drinking bottled water just feels wasteful, because it costs extra and because of the plastic.

I will drink it when I need to, like at theme parks and stuff. There, there's usually only Dasani (I think it's a coke product so that's probably why). I don't have a preference.

 

[Mikaiah]

bottled water is kind of a scam (unless you live in china, of which i beg you please drink bottled water, no seriously, please)

but dasani and aquafina are the worst, others taste mostly the same to me tbh.

xedit: in terms of the water that I drink regularly, I just use my brita filter, but it's not my favorite tbh... my fave water (as weird as this is gonna sound) is actually the water from the reverse osmosis filter back at home LOL. idk why it just tastes better to me.

nestle bottled water is the most disgusting water on the planet

 

[namiieco]

bottled water is kinda gross to me, it tastes old and stale. tap water is the best, even the hard water in london.

 

[Mr_Persona]

Imo water tastes the same like tap water, but when its fresh, then all fresh water tastes the same.
Also why do some people say bottle of water tastes gross...like really

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

I've had several different brands and they all tasted the same to me except for Dasani. Dasani made me thirsty so I avoid it now. But any of the others are fine and I usually just buy generic store brands.

Dasani actually puts salt in their water so that's why!
Shane Dawson did a whole conspiracy theory thing on Dasani in one of his videos
