PTotD: Do you drink bottled water?

With all the bad press bottled water has been getting lately I'm almost ashamed to say that I do drink bottled water. I actually have a really strong preference too, for Dasani. I know, it's filtered water, but somehow after they filter it they remineralize it with the exact combination of minerals that tastes good to me. I'm sensitive to different flavors and textures of water (can't stand evian, too slimy). I'm on the hunt for a home water filter I like so I can cut down on my bottled water consumption - but unless i'm in the mountains somewhere, tap water is out.

    Yes, me too. I drink bottled water, but I try to refill my bottles now and then of course.

    Still, bottled water get too much criticism, because what should you do when the tap water get tainted for several days like it did earlier here in Noord Holland. Then bottled water is very nice to have.

    I believe it is sold a lot more soda than bottled water, still doesn't make buying bottled water okey, but are worst culprits out there.

    Think about a r/o system for home. How do you feel about Fiji bottled water?
  • devBear B. replied Aug 27th
    Fiji water - I like it, but I don't love it. For the cost (well, for a lot less than the cost of Fiji) I'm happier with Dasani. Plus, any water that's shipped long distances is technically worse for the environment than Dasani is (all that transport)

    Tap water for me :)

    The tap water here in Finland is so good that I even heard that they are selling it as bottled water in some countries...
