Seems people who drank Dasani and Aquafina are in for a surprise. I've tried them but they tasted bad. I only drink Labrador or Evian water which is real spring water.

Wrong dude... I am an AVID water drinker. Best water right now is this stuff called smart water. Its straight up cloud water. Yes I said it Cloud water. For more information please visit...

I'm not kidding when I say this is the best water I have tasted. If you can't find it at a local store near you... ORDER IT. You will not be disapointed.

Buying bottled water is retarded unless you are buying it by the 5 gallon jug.

Some people would say the same thing about beer. Why pay for a 18 dollar 12 pack? BECAUSE IT TASTE BETTER THAN THAT 9.99 30 rack of Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Best way to go, man. paying 1.25 for 16 ounces of the most abundant resource on the planet is about as smart as paying you buddy for his piss.

Tap water plus a Brita water filter is good enough for me and lasts several months.

I get my water from a Mountain Lake. Note the clouds in the sky as they naturally deposit rainwater, (Cloudwater lol) into the Lake thus eliminating the middle man and the marketing hype, as well as cutting costs. This water is über cold out of the taps and is frankly probably better than any of the bottled water mentioned here.

LOL, Dude I get those funky electrolytes from the dissolved minerals off the Mountains, Nature makes my Clouds, AND without a bunch of other stuff, plus I don't need to add colourant, synthetic flavours or Vitamins to it. You try it ! :P

I haven't even looked at the product but it sounds like they are distilling water, and because they've taken out all the minerals and goodness have to add it all back in. Just say no Dude!

A marketers dream you are.

No added flavors or anything... Just great tasting water... All you can knock it all you want... Say what you will about bottled water... Its bottled... refined.. and processed for a reason.. So people can enjoy the taste of or more purified water. Don't hate because some people just plain and simple have better taste than you. :P

Better taste is an individual thing. I've always loved tap water when the rest of my family hated it.

I loved the tap water in Germany ... it came more or less directly from a *very* clean lake, no chemicals added. Here in the UK, the tap water tastes like ★■◆●. In the few places where I have been in the US, the tap water gave me tooth ache (happened to some of my friends who came over there as well). I think it comes from the tons of chlorine they put in it to combat bacteria and stuff ... after a few days I switched to bottled water and everything was fine again.

H2O has no flavor. What you "taste" isn't the water. Idealy, all you should sense is tempurature.


...just because i like playin devil's advocate.

The taste is most likely the \"other\" stuff in the water, like the minerals, chemicals etc. Cause trust me, tap water or even bottled water has taste.

...That reminds me of growing up in rural Western Australia. Our water came from rainwater tanks collected from roof run-off. It was so crisp, clean and SWEET - it was absolutely amazing, especially on cold mornings.


...course, it was only after about twenty years of drinking the stuff that we discovered the sweetness of the water was caused by phosphorus leeched out of bird droppings on the roof accumulating in the tank.

Bugger Evian on ice - I'll take my water with a pinch of bird poop - thanks very much :P

I drink bottled water all the time but I learned a few things in this thread. Our tap water is filtered and pretty good so I'm going to refill from the tap from now on. Thanks for the good advice.

Silver

Post by Space-Invader Klein »

I'm not much of a water drinker, but the water I do drink is Silver Water.... Ionized Silver in the water is public domain and has been around for thousands of years. It helps kill most everything, and promotes healing. I haven't gotten sick since I started drinking it, unless it was due to alcohol or something....

Ok granted Alcohol kills germs, but in large quantity your liver starts to stab back.

Speaking of alcohol JD, I cannot ship my Dad's beer to you as liquids and alcohol are now on the banned list. If you want you can get a function permit and I can get a Liquor License, then its terrorist proof and OK to send the evil Liquid.

Sorry man but unless I can bribe a Courier or a Trucker I wont be able to mail or Bus it out to you.

And I still think my Mountain Lake beats any fricken' \"Cloud Water\" complete with stupid anecdotes printed on fufu Labels on a plastic bottle. I ain't hatin' the Player, I'm hatin' the game. Use the Force and buy a Britta Luke.
