Bottled Water

[Nebulous]

What is the best tasting water?

Yes, different brands have different tastes even if water doesnt have a taste.. Confusing, yes, but you know what I mean..

I think auqafina is the best!

Mizone.

Anything but Dasani for me pretty much. When I was in Aruba, I had a bottled water there. It tasted so good. Like you'd expect pure water to taste like.

I think crystal geyser tastes like tap water to me..

I hate bottled water. =[ But once we had Coles homebrand for a holiday, that was okay.

Prefer bottled water to tap water though I don't really have a favourite ''brand' of bottled water as such.

If you lived where I lived, you'd realize why I drink bottled. Our water is pretty sketchy..

I don't drink water, I normally fill up a coke bottle with tap water

Never heard of that one before.

Don't really care for bottled water, but I'm spoiled, our tap water is supposedly rather good. Basically, it's all water to me

Looks like they don't sell it where you live:
Today Poland Spring sells the majority of its water in portable 8, 12, and 20 oz bottles; 500 ml, 700 ml, 1 L, and 1.5 L bottles, but also carries larger 5 gallon bottles usable in office or in home water dispensers. Smaller 3 L, 1 gallon and 2.5 gallon bottles are also available for sale in most supermarkets, and for home delivery in the Northeastern United States. Other less popular varieties of Poland Spring include sparkling, lemon, lime, and distilled. They are also the producers of the Aquapod line of products.

Haven't noticed much of a difference between brands but I prefer water from the tap than water that gets filtered by our filter jug thingy.

Key word there.

Key word there.

Only there because I don't have any sources. Apparently it's pretty hard to find a "map of water quality by country and brand" or some such.
What isn't hard is finding the rules and regulations... there's quite a lot there. Anyway, to quote Wikipedia:

The drinking water network is in such good shape that treated water typically does not need to be chlorinated to prevent recontamination in the network, so that water reaches the consumer without a taste or smell of chlorine.

There is no chlorine or fluoride in our tapwater, which often makes foreign tapwater taste funny.
