Smartwater is my favorite.
I believe that Dasani is tasty because it includes "mineral packets" that were developed by Coke in order to make the water have a distinct flavor and some health value (besides the obvious value of drinking water). Therefore, it is not psychological. Coke made a specific attempt to make a good tasting water.Originally Posted by JSC4President
I only know this because i just read a case study about this at school. (Case study is called "Cola Wars")
this is interesting thanks.
the brita. do you notice that the carbon sand keeps coming out on the top of the filter? and sometimes a subtle black cloud swirl in the filtered water? even after prepping the filter a few times, it does it all the time. i just drink the water though doesnt seem harming but i am curious

yes, but i never see it in the water once it's gone through the filter. only when i pour it in for filtering.

Hmm... I filter a couple pitcher's worth of water and it seemed to remedy the situation. I don't think it's harmful. It's just charcoal, so if you have any impurities in your bladder, expect that to be fixed.

I have been observing the appearance of several brands of premium bottled water in the market lately, and although I eventually buy a bottle or two, was wondering if there really is a market out there for it, I guess it primarily serves as a status symbol as very very few people can distinguish an average water from a premium one. So, what do you guys think?Originally Posted by trex
Premium Water?
Sorry I don't care how my water tastes as long as it doesn't taste like feces or death.
You need to find something else to do if you can start distinguishing tastes, and become a water "elitist".

Brita at home, tap that goes through some sort of fancy UV filter at work, bottled usually only in meetings or if I'm really thirsty and have to buy some while out.
That said, I do like some fizzy water (S. Pellegrino usually) when out to dinner sometimes.

The only bottle water that I would buy is Evian. Everything else doesn't taste that much better than tap water to purchase.
We have a natural spring on our farm and that is the best water I have ever had.
