Bottled water

I also think that Dasani tastes pretty good. The absolute best water I ever tasted came from this natural spring near Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. Wish I could have taken an endless supply home with me!

I like water from 10,000 year old glaciers, except for the occassional bottle that tastes like melted mammoth wiz.
 
We haven't been able to drink our tap water around here for over ten years. My favorite is Poland Spring, but Deer Park is good too.
 
Read the ingredients on Dasani, CoCoCo puts Salt in it!! As for Aquafina, that's Pepsi's brand of processed tap water. Get the ones that come from Geothermal waters deep below the earth. They have been tested the best water on the market.
 
Get a reverse osmosis filtration system! I drink several glasses of filtered water a day and am very happy with it.

 
If you simply want to improve taste, don't care about filtering any other impurities, and you don't mind refilling over other pour or so, get a Brita pitcher/filter combo. I have the medium and I refill it a lot which gets annoying. Thusly, I suggest the large size even though it really eats up fridge space.
 
If I remember correctly a Consumer Reports article from a few months back, many of the major national brands of water (Dasani, Aquafina, etc.) are simply tap water from not-so-pristine US municipalities (like Detroit) that is run through a crude filter. Essentially, you're paying for another city's tap water. Be sure to check labels carefully. If no specific spring is listed, then beware. . . .
 
hehe interesting, guess its time to find that article🙂 People working in these bottled water factories probably spend their days cracking up🙂
 
I drink the stuff that comes in that really big bottle down at the end of the hallway at work. Oh yeah, the water cooler thing. I don't remember what brand it is though.
 
Coors. It has something in it that kills the bacteria. It does have a bit of an after-taste though.

Actually, I live Evian when I'm away from home. Otherwise I drink city water filtered through my Pur system at home.
