I drink my own urine.

I like the taste of Ozarka... boring choice but there you go.

There's no gradient of healthy to unhealthy water. It's either clean or dirty. What the hell is this unscientific thread.

You know what's healthier than bottled water? Good old tap water with loads of government regulation. Get a filter system if you must. Stop wasting money.

 

[big_z]

Get a reverse osmosis system. If you're drinking water from a bottle like a peasant you might as well drink your own piss.

Why would a robot have a nutsack

Why wouldn't a robot have a nutsack.

The well water tasted so bad when I was growing up we had to put Kool-Aid in it. And then it still tasted like Kool-Aid someone had shit in. And this was packing milk jugs from a neighbor's well. Couldn't drink from our well unless you wanted to drink rust.

Yeah our home in the US uses well water and it has so much iron in it, it's almost undrinkable as well despite going through a filter.

 

[Luigiv]

If one brand of water stayed colder for longer than another brand of water, I'd start to wonder what the hell was in my water.

Antifreeze, duh.

 

[Milchmann]

I never get people's obsession with Fiji Water. It's JUST WATER.

The further away the spring the better the water!

 

[Acorn]

Volvic for my espresso machine, tap water for the rest, it's the best over here in Berlin.

And this for of course

You buy bottled water to boil? What

 

[Messofanego]

I'm really starting to hate some gaffers' anti intellectual attitudes. Water has some of the widest range of tastes of any drink; having tried bottled water from all around the world extracted from a variety of sources including alpine aquifers, I can safely attest to this. There really is no comparison between the refreshment and pleasure you get from normal bottled water and that of a sparkling pint of Himalayan bore water. The fact that I feel sluggish after drinking normal bottled water clearly shows the health value of good bottled water. The fact that artisan bottled water is becoming more popular by the day in America is a great thing and I urge people to expand their horizons and actually give it a try. I can easily see H2O bars becoming a trendy replacement for cafes and bars in the future, especially with the increasingly health-conscious direction that society is heading in.

Poe's Law is strong here XD

Please tell me you're not serious

 

[dripdripsplash]

this is a joke thread right ?

Its fucking water

 

[Marky Mark]

The only brand I drink, tends to taste different in the UK than it does in the US for some reason.

Lol this isn't getting the love it deserves.

Also, I can't reiterate enough, you idiots buying bottled water out of preference and not just desperation are part of what's wrong with the world. How many of you bottled water aficionados decry other environmental disasters while sipping on your water shipped from the other side of the world instead of straight out of your fucking pipes?

 

[Novocaine]

People who have clean tap water and buy bottle water anyways are idiots

To be fair, I've been trying to ween off of soft drink and for some reason cracking a bottle of water satiates that more than pouring a cup from a tap. Probably because I always used to have a bottle or a cab alongside a meal.

With that said I buy the cheapest slabs of 600ml water, all of this premium water shit is ridiculous.

One hasn't lived till one has drunk fanny water from Canadia.

[Fat4all]

just drink it out of yer toilet

 

[ClosingADoor]

Get a nice bottle and just fill it with tap water.

My favourite brand:

Bottled? Nah, man. Boxed:

Paying for water... Sheesh. Unless your water is contaminated or full of chemicals, what is the point? I mean, I get it in a large city, the water in LA is terrible for example, but anywhere with normal tap water? It's water!

But you definitely can taste the difference in various water. I get my water from a stream, and it's the best water I know, it's different in taste from my neighbour's who have a well, and also different from the tap water they have in the nearest town. My least favorite water tends to be the bottled kind though, it just has no flavor to it.

oh man this is funny

40$ for a 24 pack isn't the best way to get this movement off the ground

 

[jts]

You guys should catch up on Alton Brown's Water Works and Water Works II, from Good Eats. It's a good primer, and no, water is not all the same.

That being said, I drink tap water 99% of the time. It's just more convenient, the one I get is safe and tastes good, and it's more environmentally responsible.

 

[Messofanego]

If you're paying for water, you're already a sucker so might as well go all in!

Well now I've just spent the last 30 mins watching this shit

I did the same a couple of weeks ago 😂

 

[Pankratous]

Strathmore bottled water here in the UK is by far my favourite, but I seem to be pretty alone in that.

 

[shoelacer]

don't buy bottled water

 

[jts]

If you're paying for water, you're already a sucker so might as well go all in!

Depending on situation I don't necessarily disagree (especially for home usage if your zone has nice water), but let's put it this way:

You're always less of a sucker when you buy bottled water than when you buy a can of sugary soda.

Just drink tap water if the water that comes out of your faucet isn't horrible.

this is a parody right?

There is a large difference between bottles waters. The best advice is to buy spring water with proven qualities (Evian or your local bottled spring water) and to change the water you drink once in a while as their ph and especially mineral content varires a lot. Drinking different types of water helps balance this.

And no, water isn't the same. Tap water isn't as good as good spring water. You may not notice the difference in short term but if you care about your long term health, stick to quality bottled stuff.

[robertsan21]

Stop buying bottled water for fuck sake unless you live in a country that does not have normal good tap water??
Buying bottled water is not good for our earth, you just create more plastic trash mate. Think green mate, think green.

I drink the filtered water that my refrigerator dispenses. When I buy bottled water it is usually Perrier Orange but I don't do that very often.

"The label says Fiji because it's not bottled in Cleveland," says the full-page ad running in magazines such as Esquire.

After seeing the ad, public utilities director Julius Ciaccia ordered the bottled water tested.

The results: 6.31 micrograms of arsenic per liter in the Fiji bottle, said Cleveland water quality manager Maggie Rodgers. Cleveland tap water as well as bottled brands Aquafina, Dasani and Evian had no measurable arsenic.

"Before you take a cheap shot at somebody, know what you're talking about," said Cleveland water commissioner J. Christopher Nielson.

"Good" bottled water.

Lol.



Whatever is cheapest at the store.

 

[nekkid]

smart water is the one I use and its awesome.

I've always thought this branding was total bullshit.

"Smart"...gtfo

OT: OP, do the planet a favour and get a filter bottle and drink from the tap.

 

[Falchion]

I buy Kroger brand water in bulk because it tastes good to me.

 

[Timedog]

poland springs cold as hell... delicious.

I love the brands of water that get REALLY cold. That cold ass water, put it inside me! Outstanding!

 

[CHC]

Ok "H2O bars" are a bridge too fucking far, but you are kidding yourself if you think that different brands of waters don't actually taste different. It's subtle, but they absolutely do.

That said, faucet water is fine in most places, often better through a filter.

Edit: spelling

 

[blame space]

Yeah I gotta say I prefer cold water to drink.

EDIT FOSSET??

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

Which brand gets the coldest, and also which brand gets the hottest? Sometimes I need hot water too.

 

[Strax]

Cheapest and best way to go.

My girlfriend used to love Camelbak. Bought 1 big (gym) and 1 small (work) for her and gave me 1 big. The nozzle get really grimy fast and impossble to clean on the inside.

Threads like these makes me shake my head. I'm torn between face-palming or laughing.

Out the fuckin tap and be done with it

And you are doing exactly what a lot of these companies selling water are doing. Just filling them up with regular tap water. And with less regulation, you risk drinking something with high bacteria levels or too high arsenic levels.
