So Fiji is the best water, right?

Fiji tastes like tap. Dasani tastes like tap. Pretty much everything tastes disgusting except distilled water, vitamin water and aquafina. Actually looked at a bottle of vitamin water and it's distilled water so that explains why I like it. Haven't bought aquafina in a while so I'm not sure if it's distilled as well I just remember it not having a taste. I really dont understand how people tolerate water with a tap taste when there's a super refreshing alternative that's only 99 cents a jug (gallons of distilled water from anywhere).
I drink plenty of water, if I had to spend $4 a bottle because I think the label is pretty I wouldn't drink enough water.
Some people are so adamantly against it for environmental reasons to the end they insist that tap water doesn't vary in hardness. Very myopic and emotional. You can acknowledge the reality of water quality and buy a reverse osmosis tank and avoid bottles, or even acknowledge that bottles have their purpose like for example avoiding the shits when visiting central and south america.
It's not strange to be against heavy pollution (in many more ways than just plastic) caused by corporations abusing gullible consumers.
It's literally water. Get a fucking filter. Unless you're traveling or something is fucked up with your water, don't do it.
This is my jam. The sparkling version, to be specific. The carbonation is different than any other sparkling water that I've tried. It's like the bubbles are.. bigger? At least it feels that way when I drink it. I like to mix it with lemonade or grapefruit juice as an alternative to soda.
For still water I pretty much stick with tap. Los Angeles' tap water game is pretty strong.
Same.
They have a carbon offset program but I'm not a fan of those, especially for something like bottled water. The footprint on bottles of Fiji water is crazy.
Perrier is far and away the best. Super fine bubbles that don't go flat easily, and a nice sharp acidic taste.
Fiji is more expensive? That's interesting. Where I am Fiji is way cheaper than voss.
Anyways, Voss is my favorite, just wish it was cheaper. Fiji is my second best though. Smart water is okay but I feel like I can taste whatever process they use so I'm usually less inclined to drink it. It is my wife's favorite though.
Worst is aquafina. Absolutely disgusting.
EDIT: Oh shit. I forgot about the absolute best water on the planet. Icelandic Glacial. It's so good.

i know people who drank tap. they lived in flint. then they had to drink bottle water
How many calories does this have? I been looking for a low cal water brand
Dasani is the worst, shit tastes like an old expired brita filter.
I don't know what it is about Fiji water, but it has a mouthfeel that is unparalleled in my experience. That said I think bottled water (and especially 'premium' water like Fiji) is a waste of my money and harmful to the environment (more plastic). Lately I've been all about that Cherry Bubbly:
Taste's just like a Cherry Coke with zero sugar. Normally I hate Cherry Coke, but it's fantastic without any sugar!
If this was an actual normal occurrence then you'd have a point. But it doesn't, so you don't.
there are more cities with higher levels than flint. so yea, it is a common occurrence. but sure, continue thinking tap water high quality mineralized h2o
This reminds me of one of the concession vendors at the old Yankee Stadium who use to walk up and down the aisles shouting "water, diet water here". He always got a nice chuckle from the crowd.
nothing wrong with filtered water as long as the filter you're using is good. less garbage you're swallowing
blah blah blah. go read something for once http://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-lead-testing/
I prefer Dasani, but only slightly. I know what you mean though, it definitely has a... unique taste. I would still rather drink tap water.

I mean you can trust your government, but I sure as hell dont.

How's the filter going to help if im not at home. What if I want water while out or on trips in the car? Yea I'm not always going to carry a portable water bottle or filter.
I have a filter and use it but will buy bottles of water when I want it.
I've read this. It sucks and is awful. But a very small minority has nothing to do with this thread (and it isn't a normal, common occurrence like you think it is), nor does it have to do with the irresponsibilities of what drinking bottled water entails when you have other, for more responsible sources. Like I said earlier, bottle water should only be used when traveling or if your water sucks.
And the people in this thread more than likely aren't in this situation that article states, so there is no reason to drink bottled water. It's irresponsible.
People saying water=water don't live in an area with rock hard water. It is nasty.
Two towns over and they get Lake Michigan water which tastes wonderful.

Carrying around a reusable bottle of water is like, the easiest thing to do. Especially in trips in the car.
