imagine even jokingly having brand preferences for
stolenbottled waterHave 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.
…twenty-five years ago fiji tasted heavenly, then something changed around 2003 and it’s never been the same…
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
Dasani was withdrawn from the UK after just a few weeks. I tried it and it was truly disgusting.

Mmmmm… silica.
I don’t have any strong preferences for bottled water when I have to purchase it except Desani somehow tastes absolutely disgusting
wah’uh! pure wah’uh!
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
Coke is secretly tap water + carbonated syrup.
Noooo! The secret recipe!
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
Liquid candy.
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:
Tap
I used marketing magic on my own brain by convincing myself I could taste the plastic in bottled water
The plastic taste is real
👏 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.
Just shy of $200 which isn’t bad, although I did also buy the booster pump to maintain the most efficient water pressure
Thank you! Will evaluate this one.
And they even got a nice shot of you setting it up!
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
That’s delicious water too
Not a water snob, but I’m looking at Brita (the obvious name-brand), and Boots (UK health/wellbing store) which has a cheap filter. Might go for them. The tap water here has a weird taste.
I just use a Brita and keep refilling that and store it in my fridge. I don’t notice a the difference tbh
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.
Use S.Pellegrino or get out!
Sparkling waterboarding. I knew I wasn’t the only one with this idea!
Worse it’s evian
Even worse
It’s Nestle Pure Life
Which maybe tastes okay
But shits on your soul because Nestle has now sustained you
Or Arrowhead
Deerpark
Is Evian not good? I usually don’t buy bottled water and just have a hydro flask with me but thought Evian was decent?
now read the name backwards
The authorities don’t want you to know this but the [Evian is free and you can take it home](Source Cachat https://maps.app.goo.gl/hqpG1mSmynr3D93d9?g_st=ac)
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.
Where is the Topo Chico master race??
Even worse, Ozarka!
