Bottled water has to be the biggest scam in human history. Imagine paying for something that is free.

Unless you have access to a spring or a hand operated pump/well you are going to be paying for it one way or another.

You either pay for a municipal water supply to your house; pay for the electricity to run a well/pump system to supply water to your house; get water from a river or stream and pay for the tablets or electricity/gas to boil it all to get rid of any contaminants; or you buy it in bottles/jugs.

Fiji water is considered completely different from other bottled waters due to its source which is the protected artesian aquifer on the isolated Fiji islands. It also has a unique mineral profile, which gives the water a smooth, soft taste. It is considered to be the world’s purest and clean drinking water.


Avian is similar in that it's from the Alps, but I do not like the taste of it.

Most all other bottled water is just cleaned up potable water.
I like Smart Water and Aquafina better than Dasani, but I don't dislike Dasani.

Fiji and Avain are actually good for you to drink, of the others, SmartWater is likely the best for you.

I was once standing on a glacier in Alaska. There was a little stream of freshly melted glacier water running down. I dipped my cupped hands in the very cold stream and drank. It was the best water I’ve ever had in my life. I would go so far as to say the water was delicious.


Go to Iceland. Glacial water filtered by lava rocks. It’s the best water you will ever taste in your life. The tap water that fills up your sink, tub, toilet is all that beautiful bluish color. When you go to a lake, you can see as far down as the light will penetrate. It’s truly amazing.

I hate all cheap water bottles. A few years ago they were decent bottles but now most have switched to basically a plastic bag with a top. When I unscrew the top the bottle collapses and spills water everywhere.

Dasani and Aquafina are the worst.

I picked up some Calloway water and it was in a bottle like a soda comes in. -much prefer.

Is my palate just not distinguished enough to know which water tastes more like water?


Your palate is crap. Dasani tastes bad. It's sort of salty in a bad way.

I don't like my bottled water to "pop" upon opening like a coke bottle.

The FIL has to have Fiji water.
Guarantee he would fail a blind taste test between Fiji water and my sink water.

I had no idea that people didn't like Dasani. It tastes like any other bottle of water to me. But a week or so ago I got roasted by my teenage daughter for drinking it. Not only is it supposed to be nasty, but it is also uncool. Whatever, I'll still drink it.

I usually drink Smart Water, but the hate for Dasani confuses me. It’s water.


So you literally pay 5 times the price for Smart Water (5.5 cents/oz) when you can't tell the difference in that and Dasani, which is 1.1 cents/oz?

Because Evian spelled backwards is naive.

Dasani spelled backwards is just inasad.
