I'm always drinking a bottle of Arrowhead no matter where I go. But now due to a budget I've been forced to drink Aquafina and it tastes like crap. So what kind of water do you fellow gaffers drink?
If anything I prefer Crystal Geyser over any water, its the best tasting water that really got me started in drinking lots of water.

 

[bjork]

Arrowhead, imo.

If I'm not drinking pepsi or cranberry juice, it's gotta be arrowhead.

The tap water at Big Bear Mountain in California is absolutely delicious. Move there and you can get all the water you want from any faucet.

 

[The Faceless Master]

ice cold nyc tap water

 

[Zaptruder]

is distilled water considered tasty or tasteless?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Water should be tasteless

But I like any old kind of water

NYC water kicks ass though

 

[Atrex]

As far as bottled water goes i dont think anything beats aquafina.

I like the generic Target brand (Archer Farms I think). The best tap water I've had is from Boston.

 

[bionic77]

Eww, Dasani is nasty.

Normally I don't care what bottled water I get. Most of the time I just drink filtered water or Poland Springs, but Dasani reminds me of the rancid DC tap water.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Absopure when i lived in Michigan. Had a nice clean taste to it, with an ever-so-slight sweetness. i've found that Brita-filtered water with a couple of drops of trace minerals (health food store item) tastes as good if not better. Trace minerals can aid in cell recovery, muscle development, and bone strengthening. i don't know too much about them, it's something my mom used to give to me to use.

 

[impirius]

Swill

 

[siege]

I drink Aquafina because it's the cheapest, but I don't mind Dasani either. The most disgusting bottled water I've bought and tried is Nestle. That stuff is just rancid.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Poland Spring. Nestle is fucking terrible, jesus christ. I didn't know bottled water could taste like that.

 

[All Hail C-Webb]

Poland Spring. Nestle is fucking terrible, jesus christ. I didn't know bottled water could taste like that.

I second both comments. Poland Spring is a nice, relatively inexpensive water, while the Nestle water is some of the worst tasting shit ever.

Smart water is also pretty good, and it makes you smarter, so extra points there.
I've been getting into sparkling water lately, Perrier is definately where it's at.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Carbonated.

 

[fugimax]

Fiji.

 

[Poody]

fiji is way overated. My mom buys them in boxes and they taste like any other water. However I think Dasani is pretty good when its cold.

 

[fugimax]

Fiji tastes good at all temperatures. It doesn't need to be cold to prevent bad flavors coming through...that's what I like about it. That being said, I don't have the $$ to buy it, so I just have a Pur filter on my tap. 3-Stage that works great.

 

[miyuru]

Tap water, I'm not one of you freaks jk jk

Try drinking the tap water in DC.

 

[Zep]

Nestle is the fuckin worse i can tell you that. It taste like thick water, its like swallowing your own spit...

I personally fucks with poland spring...and if target is having a sale(they also do) i gets the Archer farms...its not bad.

 

[Ristamar]

Fiji.

WINNAR!

It's about the only bottled water that doesn't taste stale. Aquafina and Dasani can rot in hell. Poland Springs is alright.

I prefer my hometown's tap water... best shit ever. The well water at my current apartment sucks.

 

[LusDekkar]

Tap water. I live in Melbourne, so unfiltered tap water is fine. Don't really need filters here 'cos the water is so clean. Usually not much chlorine if at all.

 

[tenchir]

Shouldn't it be best "taseless" water?

 

[MIMIC]

Water has a taste...otherwise, you wouldn't be able to recognize it.

Usually tap water, clean enough here. Other then that:

In the UK it's all about Volvic for me.

 

[D-X]

Well Dasani in the UK was tap water

Wasn't it cancer causing tap water?

 

[D-X]

Dasani is a curious brew that is made from mains water at a factory in Sidcup, Kent.

"Coca-Cola says that after being passed through a "highly sophisticated purification process" the drink is "as pure as bottled water gets".

Bromate, meanwhile, is described by the Food Standards Agency as "a chemical that could cause an increased cancer risk as a result of long-term exposure".

In a statement last week, Coca-Cola said the contamination had been initially caused by its regular practice of adding calcium to Dasani.

In this case, the calcium "did not meet our quality standards", the company admitted.

As a result, bromate went on to be formed during the manufacturing processes.

While there were no immediate safety fears, Coca-Cola decided on the recall.

The product's bromate levels were twice the legal limit in the UK - but were below Europe's higher limit. "

Unopened bottles will apparently be a collectors item in the future. Just as well I have one sitting at home then.

When I went skiing in Austria, they had a Water Fountain where the water ran directly from the snowy mountain to the fountain, it was so cold and beautiful.

Thats the nicest water in the world.

[gofreak]

Evian or Volvic.

It's amazing how types of water are can taste so differently.

 

[Kola]

I'm rooting for the frenchies: Evian.

But, as it is quite expensive here I'm mostly buying Bon Aqua (I guess that one is also from France) or Watson's Water.

[Tunesmith]

swedish tap water,

 

[truffleshuffle83]

san antonio has a natural aquifer, and their tap is almost as good as bottled water.
ive been drinking propel alot. if im gonna pay money for something it better have some flavor, plus i dont like the idea of paying for something that is free

evian=naive

 

[Scrow]

 

[Kseutron]

 

[LaneMeyer]

evian=naive

please explain.

evian, in my opinion, is the best tasting water. when i want water, i want water...not water plus vitamins, sweeteners, and calories.

Fiji is awesome. Tap water here is gross.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Tap water. At the rate I drink water, a case does not last very long at all.

 

[GXAlan]

Well no, pure water is distilled water, but it tastes terrible. It's the microminerals that give water its taste -- which is why different brands have different "flavors" even though it's all supposed to be unflavored water; we just don't have the names for the flavors.

 

[mrklaw]

Volvic all the way. Evian at a pinch.

But having discovered Brita filters, I'm usually happy to drink filtered tap water at home.

But never direct from a tap. It just leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

please explain.

evian backwards is spelled naive
i can see these water companies just filling up bottles out of the tap and laughing all teh way to the bank.
