Have you tried Fiji? It tastes like boiled rocks. You can absolutely have preferences

Weird. Fiji is one of the few that tastes like absolutely nothing to me which is what I want my water to taste like. Nothing. Don't like it's price though. It's fucking water. I ain't paying that much for water.

Yeah I've been handed a bottle at some point when being sold something. If it tasted like anything it wasn't enough to have been memorable.

It's fucking water.

Well some people are more sensitive to certain tastes. People who don't like peanuts can taste it when they eat m&Ms. I personally am very opinionated on water. It happens

I don't have any strong preferences for bottled water when I have to purchase it except Desani somehow tastes absolutely disgusting

I found out that the taste of Dasani changes depending on where you are.

In California/Nevada it tastes like I'm sniffing an open sewer. Up north, it's perfectly inoffensive.

It’s fancy tap water. Amazing that Coke makes so much money off it

Coca-Cola is an evil company. But it’s still fucking crazy to me that the company became so successful that it’s product at one point was the most recognizable/understood word in the world behind OK is just selling bubbly sugar water at an absurd markup.

I also have complicated feelings about their old antique merch because I know it’s effectively propaganda, but I think it looks really cool and my grandmother had a lot of it around her house

I’m from Atlanta, trust me I know all the terribleness, doesn’t change that I think it aesthetically looks cool and it’s tied to my memory of a nice lady I never really got to know because Alzheimer’s

some terrible things have great aesthetics, of course. and coca-cola spent a century engraining itself into nostalgia, not surprised it clicks.

The fucking nazis actually come to mind, Hugo Boss knows how to cut fabric

Edit: to be clear I’m not saying wearing SS uniforms would be acceptable but I also think there’s a bit of space between that and having an antique coke machine for the look

its literally just tap water straight from a water main, that they basically don't pay for.

Where I live, the taste has that sort of La Croix thing going on where it tastes like the bottle sat open adjacent to a sewer. Smells alright, but when I taste it it makes me ಠ_ಠ

Any water snobs out there who have a favorite filter?

Tried something like this and it was absolutely godly:

I used marketing magic on my own brain by convincing myself I could taste the plastic in bottled water

👏 lucky

I already filter and it just ain’t the best I’ve ever had and it’s hard to forget that fact

Reverse osmosis with a remineralization alkaline post filter. Best water I've ever had, installed one in the kitchen for cooking/drinking

Nice, RO seems tops. Gotta sacrifice some water of course. Remineralization, interesting. Pricey? Evaluate a lotta brands? curious which one you went with.

I use ZeroWater filters with the pitcher. Even warm tap water tastes godly.

Out where I am they have primo. So I just take jugs to fill up. They're my favorite by default though they don't really have any other options where I live

2

I just use a Brita and keep refilling that and store it in my fridge. I don't notice a the difference tbh

2

I have a berkey and I really like it. Makes my water taste like water. Not much different than running fresh mountain stream water through a katadyn or something.

Even worse

It's Nestle Pure Life

Which maybe tastes okay

But shits on your soul because Nestle has now sustained you

Is Evian not good? I usually don’t buy bottled water and just have a hydro flask with me but thought Evian was decent?

Sparkling waterboarding. I knew I wasn't the only one with this idea!

Do you reckon humour is ever used as an advanced torture resistance tactic? A very morbid thought, but I now wonder if anyone has ever made their torturers crack up to make them fond of their victim, in order to escape.
