Evian is my least favorite bottled water. It has a creamy texture that I do not like.

Only San Pellegrino for me. Even in my coffee maker

I pump Perrier directly into my shower. The bubbles make me feel all tingly.

I prefer the flavored bottled water. I swear by (and drink gallons of) Aquafina's flavor splash Mixed Berry OR Fruit20's orange.

It's great and it is helping me with my diet/health.

I think the person who developed the single servings of Crystal Light for bottled water is a marketing genius.

I can taste the difference between different brands of bottled water. I think of them, I perfer Dannon. Dasani, to me, tastes salty. I think they add salt to it or something.

YES! I've always avoided Dasani because it has an awful aftertaste! YUCK!

It's funny how we all have preferences. I will drink Dasani - have no real issue with it, but for some reason Poland Spring tastes the best to me. If I have a choice, I always go for the Poland Spring. It just tastes like nice, clean, fresh H20. That's why I like it.

Evian is not my favorite. It has a mineral-y taste that I swear does not quench my thirst. Fiji has a similar taste to me.

As ashley0139 said, Publix brand water is pretty good.
ashley- where do you live that you have Publix?

I find zephyrhills, publix brand, and poland spring the best.

Evian has a thick taste, dasani has an aftertaste and aquafina has a plastic-like taste.

We should be water taste-testers!

Dasani is just gross, at least as far as bottled waters go. It's not spring water, as others have mentioned, it's just filtered tap water. They also mention on the bottle that it may contain sodium, which explains why it sometimes tastes salty.

I've never had a problem with Dasani, but after reading PalJoey's post, I'm sticking to Poland Spring, thank you very much.

Brita filters FTW

I wish I never ventured by this thread. I'm well aware that Dasani isn't spring water, but that's a little mental ick factor right there, courtesy of PJ. I'm a little psycho and I think not only does the actual brand matter, but the batch it comes it, I've had some pretty funky Poland Spring that taste really plasticy every so often. I really don't like Evian. I don't mind Fiji, but to be honest I don't think I've ever had it room temperature, only chilled which makes a huge difference. Oh well, I have a 24 pack of half-liter dansani at home...and my beloved nalgene, that gets filled with NYC tap water. So it's all good. :)

The longer the water stays in the bottle, the more it tastes like plastic... did you ever notice the experation dates on the neck?!

Beacon, Orange Fruit20 is my favorite too! It actually tastes like real oranges.

Those bottled waters accumulate all kinds of stuff the longer they sit on the shelves. That's why I drink from my Brita filter at home, and try not to buy too much of the bottled.

I only drink bottled water (at college) plus, I have to keep a lot of it for hurricane season.

I buy it in bulk whenever it's on sale- I drink it crazy. I'm addicted to water.

Does anybody prefer it room temperature rather than cold? Even after being outside in the hot for a long time, drinking cold water never appeals to me.

Yes! Dasani water is so different than any other bottled waters! I don't like it, it tastes too chemical-filled to me. I like Poland Spring, but water DOES get nasty if you leave it too long on a shelf, so I don't buy it that often.

I LOVE Fruit2O! My mom buys it in bulk and I have one every day, almost.

I think Dasani is good. For a really long time that was the only kind of water I would drink.
