I have a Brita pitcher at home, and I usually just carry around a water bottle and keep refilling it from the pitcher. At work I can't get any spring water, just Aquafina @ $1.25 a bottle, so I live with the tap water they have here.

Yeah, pretty much all the bottled waters are nothing more than filtered city water. Huge scam that people continue to overpay for. We have an Equinox filter system at home and it tastes better than any bottled water. I think I drank 10-15 glasses yesterday and sweated out about 15-20.

I can't tell the difference between different bottled waters or filtered tap water. I can taste the difference between filtered/bottled and tap water though.

I grew up on bottled water because the city water we were getting was worse than the well water they said was contanimated and made us switch to city. I can't stand tap water, filtered or not. We have a filter on our tap now (we have a well), and I can't stand the taste. Even at my dad's, where the well water was treated and flitered before it got to the tap, I couldn't stand it.
I prefer Poland Spring, Aquafina, or Dasani. And Dannon does NOT taste the same as Poland Spring, otherwise I could save a little money.
And yes, you could give me 2 bottles of tap vs bottled, unlabled, and I'd know the difference. I'd know the difference between a few of the brands as well (like store brand vs PS or something).

Here is a test for you to see if you think you can taste the difference between water brands. Get 20 cups have someone number each of them and put tap water in 19 cups then have that person put your favorite bottled water in the last cup. Chill them in the frig to the same temp and see if you can guess which one is your favorite bottled water by sampling all of them. You can also do this with 10 different types of bottled water in ten cups and guess what is what. I've done this study before and the results are pretty much a flop for people who think they can taste the difference.

James has refilled my water jugs with tap water (filtered through the Pur on the faucet) and put it in the fridge after finishing the bottled water. I took one sip and immediately knew.

im in agreement.... water is water is water. ANY taste that water has, comes from the minerals inside it- lots of minerals= that "taste" that everyone here mentions. They've done this with sodas too- put a blindfold on and pinch your nostrils together and try to tell the difference between sprite and coke- they'll both taste like sugared water without the ability to smell. Since water has no smell, imagine doing that same test with water..... it'd be stupid. But even WITHOUT the hinderances of the soda test, I guarantee anyone here, and I'd even bet them 20 bucks, that if we did that test you wouldn't get more than 25% of them right (if even that), just on the luck of the draw.
Answer= water is water is water. Minerals----- are what make the difference. That's why you can have one bottle of poland spring one day (and have it "taste" bad), and then the next day have it "taste" great- different mineral consistencies.
