Best Bottled Water?

Well?

(and there IS a difference)

Republican_Man · **Sat Apr 15, 2006 6:50 pm**

Oh, boy is there a difference...
My favorite is Other. Here in CO we have a big brand called Arrowhead. It's absolutely the best bottled water possible.
Dasani and Aquafina are just horrible--I hate them--and Poland Springs is pretty good.
However, Soda makers shouldn't have ANYTHING to do with bottle water. Theirs just taste horrible.
And yeah, I don't recognize any of the others. Although if Saratoga is Saratoga Springs waters, then I believe I have heard of that one.

Yeah, Saratoga is Saratoga Springs,

I would hope I was right, seeing as I drink the water sometimes when I go back to Albany and the surrounding cities.

Poland Springs.

I also really like Propel, by Gatorade.

I don't like bottled water. If I do drink it it's usually the Snow Valley in our water cooler that we have as an emergency supply (well, we use it but we usually have 10 5 gallon jugs, we've never run out. Even when our town lost water briefly).

How can you not like bottled water?

Lord Borg · **Sat Apr 15, 2006 10:00 pm**

Well, from my dad's point of view, it's a waste of money when you get it for free from the sink

IntrepidIsMe · **Sat Apr 15, 2006 10:19 pm**

That's like comparing a ford and a mercedes. You just don't do it in polite society.

TrekkieMage · **Sat Apr 15, 2006 10:34 pm**

I do understand the taste difference, but it isn't enough of a difference to stop me from drinking from a water fountain or the tap on a regular basis. I don't feel that in need to pay a dollar for something I can get virtually free. Besides, the bottles are horrible for the enviornment.

I think it's worth it for what you get. I'd rather pay for something that I know is consistant and will always taste better than what I can get for free, not to mention you don't always know what's in the water you're drinking that's coming from a tap. I guess it depends on how important it is to you. I know the water in our school turns pink when you put in the pH tester. Gross.

We recycle all of our bottles, I'm not sure about other people.

I like Pump and H2go.

But if you ask me all water tastes the same.

Founder, I'm rather offended by your bottled water tirade there

Here's what we use bottled water for, and it is NOT for sitting in the backyard on a lawn chair:
1. Working out
2. School (DAILY)
3. Camping trips, hikes, bikerides, and activities at Rocky Mountain National Park and the like
4. Occassionally when running around outside, as it is easier

Good uses for them, eh?
Oh, and we don't recycle. It costs money for us to do so in our area.

I just drink bottled Nestle water because it is the cheapest, or if we don't have any, I will buy Dasani from school. The only reason I use bottled water though is at school, just so I can always have water with me. At home I use tap water or bottled. Either way is really fine with me. (Some tap water is nasty though, so in that case, most definately go with bottled.)

Thomas · **Sun Apr 16, 2006 11:29 am**

I sometimes buy Brecon Carreg if I decide I want a drink from the shop when I'm at school, or if I take my lunch to school instead of eating here and need a drink to go with it. Sometimes at the cinema too, even though it's like three times as much there,

Apart from that, I don't drink water all that often, but I'm not against drinking water from the tap. I usually take a swig when I get up in the morning and always after brushing my teeth,

Brightstar82 · **Sun Apr 16, 2006 11:42 am**

Aquafina for me thats the only kind I drink.

Republican_Man · **Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:32 pm**

Ugh, Aquafina? How can you like that stuff! It's horrible! It's a lousy excuse for water.

I only drink bottled water if I'm desperate or if it's sparkling (I like sparkling water).

I normally drink Hadrien's, as it's local and cheap.

I have a big water cooler in my house. You know, the ones with lie 18 litre bottles that go into it and it has it's own little tap, much like you find in offices, except I don't use cone shaped paper cups,

.

Definately tastes better than tap water, but if I have to I'll drink tap water. I tend to drink tap water when I brush my teeth. As for water bottles... If I want water, I'll just grab the first bottle I see if I'm out and about. I don't really care... lol.
