Ok.. so Im sitting there drinking my 8th or so bottle of Aquafina for the day when I read on the label that "Aquafina originates from public water sources...." purified, of course.
What is your choice for bottled water & why?
Since I consider your opinions more valuable then Google, thought I throw this one out.
Thanks in advance!

Fuji....hands down. (AWESOME taste) Personally I can not stand Aquafina...that whole quote makes me cringe, too....lol0

Whatever is onsale...as most are "from public water sources..." My fav is Dasani, just because...this week its Nestle Pure Life (Kroger had them onsale).
Cheers!0 -
I like Dasani - it is purified by reverse osmosis and has minerals added for taste.0
-
Just for financial reasons, tap water. Most of the affordable bottled water is just treated tap water. You get used to the taste, and if it's ice cold it's much better lol0
-
I gave up bottled water. Much of it is just tap water that you are paying good money for and the amount of plastic waste is horrific. Why not just fill your own bottles to go and save some money and the environment?0

We just use tap through a Britta filter.0

Fiji..by far the best!0

The label should really read "aquafina (and other bottled waters) originate from a desire to make an insane amount of money over something most people can get for free".
Bottled waters are one of the biggest scams out there - if you live in a developed country your water is almost certainly safe to drink straight from the tap.
I suggest keep a couple of your water bottles, fill them up from the tap and put them in the fridge.
You'll soon get used to the taste, you'll save yourself heaps of money and you'll help reduce the terrible pollution problem of plastic water bottles.0 -
i drink nestle pure life-- love the taste0
-
I use a water filter and fill up a gallon every night0
-
I love Aquafina, but I buy Deer Park. It's cheaper and the bottles are made of thinner plastic.0

This!
My roommate says that Brita water doesn't have enough flavor, thus she prefers tap. Baltimore tap. Gross0 -
Smart Water by Glaceau
Because I like the taste better than others0 -
Well we live in the ghetto so our tap water is very nasty and unsafe, we have a brita pitcher and I couldn't imagine life without it. I used to boil my water the day before so I could even feel good about it.
In relation to your post they have the bottles with purifiers in the cap and most of the bottles are BPA free, only about 10-20 bucks. You can save the enviroment and some money at the same time! Bottled water is expensive over time, I drink like a gallon a day of water sometimes, can't imagine paying so much for it.0 -
I really like SmartWater.0

I HATE drinking water. No matter how hard I try I have to CHOKE it down without mio or crystal light. BUT I love Aquafina!!! It's the taste I love, I have no idea what it is....the bottles are super thin and we recycle. ... I also like Dasani. It has a smooth mouth feel and nice flavor but Aquafina's my fave.0

Oddly enough I took an environmental geology course and we had whole section on bottled water! I was surprised to learn that most bottled water is straight from the tap. Also, bottled water has less health regulations than tap water! The junk they say they add to it, like minerals, aren't good for you or the environment! And, of course, the bottles themselves and the process used to make the bottles are terrible for the environment! Your best bet is to go out and buy a Nalgene bottle or something of the like and fill it up with good ol' tap water!0

When I am away from home though and need some water I will buy Nestle Pure Life Sparkling Spring Water0 -
good old tap water here.....0
-
I'm sure there are truly good bottled waters out there but I don't buy them mostly because of environmental impact. I'm a Brita pitcher gal.0

Bottled water is more expensive the gas per gallon. Better to see if you can get a filtering system (like a filtering pitcher) and use your tap. Saves way more money and you don't need to store bottles.0
-
I prefer Dasani-hands down. I will however drink whatever is on hand at friends or relatives houses.0
-
I hate bottled water, its environmentally disastrous and I get good quality water out of my tap for free. Why pay for bottled water that's the exact same quality??? (If not worse due to sitting stagnant in a plastic bottle for a year or more depending)0
-
I only drink Angel tears. But in a pinch I will drink Unicorn tears as well.0

Filtered tap water in a Brita pitcher.0

I second that Brita water..... I have a bottle and a cup that I fill allll day long.0 -
I got a Pur filter for my sink. Tastes soo good and saves lots of money.0
-
i prefer dasani if *need* to buy a bottle of water, but I just use a brita filter and fill up my tin water bottle. Cheaper, and way less plastic for the environment.0
-
I use to drink bottled water until i realized what a gigantic waste of money and resources it is!
The tap water here unfortunately sucks though so I just bought a Brita Max filter pitcher, holds about 18 cups!0 -
just a bit of food for thought it relation to bottled water
