Bottled Water Why do they vary so much in taste?

To me, Evian has a weird taste, not a fan. All the rest taste the same.

Dasani fricking sucks

Because it has minerals in it. Distilled water is pure (flavorless) water.

Dasani is filtered tap (treated) water

are spring waters - from natural springs and just filtered for impurities

ETA: nestle and great value - I’m not sure - if it says ‘spring’ water it’s supposed to be from a spring

Dasani is an offense to water

Evian is GOAT, forget about Fiji

Depends on the source. I think Dasani's source is the toilet.

Also, Louisiana has some of the best water in the world. We're spoiled down there when I comes to how the water taste and the quality of it.

Water comes from different rivers

Talked to a Coke employee once who said Coke was late to the bottled water market because they couldn't figure out how to leverage their bottler network and make money. The bottlers had the equipment and access to water to make bottled water without them. They finally settled on making the bottlers buy mineral packets to flavor the water they already had.

Haven’t had covid since 2021.

But the taste is something from way back before the Chinese released covid.
