The Best Bottled Water

[Jeff]

After thinking that all bottled waters were about the same (excluding the mineral waters and flavored waters, just the water waters), I started to pay attention to brands and tastes and found that I have a strong preference for Dasani. I don't know how to describe the taste difference but it does a noticeably better job for me of thirst quenching. What do you prefer?

Also, since Dasani is a Coca Cola product, and I figure that those folks have to be world leaders in beverage science, I wonder if they're doing anything out of the ordinary to their product. AquaFina is probably my second choice, which is a PepsiCo product, so again it concerns me that they're putting something in this besides water. What do you think?

I like tap water out of a bottle. Usually I run it through a filter and boil it first though.

Just buy a filter for your tap water. It's less expensive, and the same thing.
The charcoal filters on the market are quite effective, in removing bad stuff.

Or, you could just move next to ole Kingsy here in Baton Rouge.

We have some of the best tap water in the nation.

They stopped selling Dasani here, after it emerged that coca cola was just bottling tapwater. Water we paid to have cleaned, they bottled and sold back to us for a huge markup.

Scotland has nice water... but here we call it Irn Bru.

I say don't buy bottled water. Buy a bottle, fill it yourself.
