Bottled water


So, I'm starting to drink all this bottled water now, and sometimes, I swear it tastes like soap! Have I just gotten to used to stinky city water? Am I nuts? Are my taste buds too sensitive? I thought water wasn't supposed to taste like anything! Maybe I need to get more expensive bottled water...

I have a water cooler in my office, I have not drank bottled water in a while. Maybe you could bring stinky city water from home!

My wife and girls hate the tap water, says it tastes funny. Last summer they nearly finished a gallon of bottled water. I finished it off and refilled it half way with tap water. They never new the difference. I told them about it and the didn't believe me. I'll have to do it again. This time I'll put it on video tape and play it back later.

You probably have gotten used to the city water. I can not drink the water at home. It just tastes yucky. I filter it. Sometimes I also drink bottled water when I am at home.

The thing is, I don't like the way city water tastes either. I can't describe it, but it tastes stale. Like I said, maybe I need to get more than just the store brand bottled water.

I've been drinking Strawberry flavored water. I've been trying to cut back on my pop consumption so I figure the flavored water will help satisfy that need for something tasty better than plain.

I've always thought bottled watter tasted funny too.

I don't like tap water... then again if you saw what our tap water looks like with all the floaties, you would understand. I drink filtered water at home. Bottled water is good, but it really does depend on the brand.  They all taste a bit different in my opinion.

There is spring water, distilled water, purified water...they all have different sources and purification processes.

I prefer spring water, but some distilled and purified waters are pretty good....

Just find one you like....may need to try a couple different ones

I've been big on bottled water since the Milwaukee cryptosporidium scare of 1993. I usually get a couple gallons a week at the grocery store- the stuff that you pour into jugs from the micronfilteratedheattreateddoublelightpurifie thingy.... I HATE when I run out and am forced to drink tap water. It tastes like leaded pipes it travels through!!!!!

Aquafina for me... but like Web, I have been drinking sparkling water at home- the flavored kind. It replaces the need for soda- even diet- without any sodium!

I can't stand flavored water, it tastes like someone forgot to wash the kool aid out of the bottle before they put water in it. But, I will try Aquafina. Thanks!

We have a Sunbeam water system at home. I prefer water over pop or juice any day.

Ruby, you got a penguin cup?!?!??!?!

I'm drinking a bottle of ICE MOUNTAIN water right now, it's pretty good stuff.

I can't drink bottled water unless it's VERY VERY cold though. I'm talking 33 degrees here.

In fact, by the time I get to the back of the case of 24 or 30 bottles the last 3 or 4 are usually frozen solid.

Yes, a couple of years ago the office bought me a cup for my water- they did not like my free cup from Taco Bell! It is huge and green with a cute penguin on it!

I personally only drink Poland Spring Water- It has to be in a clear bottle though- cause the opaque bottles give the water a funny taste. poland Spring all the way!

I've always hated water, but due to trying to be healthier I've taught myself to start liking it. We got a filter on our faucet due to well water. Other than that I drink spring water. I do better drinking out of a sport bottle than a glass though.

It's the only way I can do it. It's a quirk of mine. I always feel like there's a hair or something in a water glass. But I'm not like that with anything else in a glass.

Drinking more water is probably the one thing people could do to improve their health.

We are 90% water and most of us(myself included) drink alot of other beverages throughout the day instead. I am a Diet Pepsiholic.

I prefer bottled water (tap water is just yucky).

But paying for pure water still feels funny to me...it feels like the next thing we will have to pay for is air.

If you get both at the convenience store, drinking gas is cheaper.
