It costs more, the bottle is all curvy crap, but this is some awesome water.
While I was in North Dakota, lamenting my seperation from videogames, good tv, and well...fun, I did have 2 years to appreciate water drawn from a well. Evian is the only bottle water ive had that has a taste close to that.
Yeah thats right, im a bottled water snob

Whoa, where did you live in ND? I lived in Grand Forks for 2 years.
I'm partial to Aquafina, but I don't buy bottled water very often.

Roseglen has a post office, thus it is a "town" lolz

Buying bottled water is just an extra expense; I can't understand why people would shell out money daily for water -- just buy a Brita filter and fill your own bottle periodically. I mean, it's not like bottled water grants you superpowers or increases your libido or anything. :D You're basically paying for a "purer" version of non-tasty beverage that's still...tasteless. I drink lots of water for health reasons, but damn if I'll ever like the taste -- or should I say "lack of taste." Sparkling water at least adds a bit of "texture" and is thus worth the purchase occasionally (though lime-flavored Perrier is similar to what I imagine liquid detergent would taste like). But bottled water? Pffft... :P
Who knows, maybe the imagery they use in their advertising, replete with scenes of sparkling mountain streams and ponds, activates our dormant biophilia receptors, causing a powerful emotional reaction and overriding any sense of frugality we may have had in our saner moments. ;)
-
I just drink straight from the spigot in the back yard
-
Brita Water is not the same as pure Well Water trust me, there is a taste that is completely unique. Evian has it, I havent found another water like it.
I like bottled water cause its cheap and less work.
-
my tap water tastes like a cat on an all-egg diet pissed in it, so bottled water it is!
-
Cold Tap water is the worst, tap water must be had warm.
-
If I do drink tap I'll boil it first.
-
To be clear, I don't like the taste of tap water much either (and I live in NYC, well known for its clean tap water). But Brita-filtered water is alright, and is certainly the less expensive option. :)
Guess we all can't be rich like you, MAF. ;)
-
Yeah, I bought one of those Brita filters for the faucet. Sure beats paying primo $$$ for bottled water.
At the office we have a reverse osmosis filtration system. Pretty neat stuff. Wish I had that setup at home.

loki: its 2 for 3 dollars!

Poland Spring FTW

I guess that's not bad if you drink one each day, but I drink a lot, so I'd need at least 3 per day (assuming you're referring to the 20-oz bottles). So that's nearly $5 per day...or ~$1800/year...or about $90K for the rest of my life. ;) Sorry, but I'd rather have that $90K to leave to my kids. :P
-
I only drink maybe two a day, at least to meet the 8 glasses standard., they are 1 L bottles. its a sale tho so I think theyre normall 2 bux
Also I dont plan on kids so more WATERMONEY FOR ME :)

Two 1-liter bottles for $3? Yeah, definitely a sale, plus things are likely cheaper where you live than over here (NYC). The 20-oz bottles are usually $1.50 here, so I thought that's what you were talking about.
-
well seattle is more expensive, I admit Evian is considered to be one of the MORE expensive bottled waters, you can get a 12 pack of 20 oz arrowhead most of the time on sale.

You do know what Evian spells backwards right? They're mocking you MAF. Bastages.
I have the same opinion on this as Loki. An on-tap filter is the way to go. Makes the water nice and clean, put it in a jug, throw in the fridge and you're good to go. I use a PUR on-tap filter now (the Brita one fell apart in my hands, don't know my own strength :( )
-
its about taste man, on tap filtered water doesnt have well-water taste, so far only evian does.
-
On-tap filter for me, too. If I *must* got some bottled water during the day for whatever reason, I just get the smallest one available, finish it, and then refill it with the filtered tap at work.
You're all suckers.
-
My fridge has a built in water filter, so I use that. Tastes great.
-
I think most of you dont know what 'good tasting' fresh water actually tastes like. Live on a farm for a while.
