The water around here is actually higher quality than the bottled mineral water.

100% scientifically proven FACT.

Maybe I should start bottling it?

Have we become so spoiled as to expect our water to taste good? I mean, its water. It is defined as "a tasteless, colourless liquid". I have a Brita water filter and about the only difference that I notice is that the water is cold, on account of being kept in the fridge. When more than a billion, thats billion with a B folks, people go without safe drinking water, everyday, I just can't bring myself to care about trace amounts of flouride or whatever in my water.

Here too. Tap water still tastes like crap whereas bottled water is at least 'drinkable'.

It's not (only) a good quality what makes a good water. It's the taste.

Seriously, tap water tastes so bad here, I can't imagine anyone pretending to drink it.

You know it's not distilled/pure water. Right?

You would not get anything from drinking that. It's NOT H20. Its H20 with a LOT of stuff in it.

Simply to point out what Evian is backwards. Methinks y'all had one pulled over you.

Well absolutly pure water is tastless, so bottling company's actually put 'flavoring' (basicly just salt and a couple other minerals) in the water.

Tap water tastes (and smells) like algie these times of the year...but filtered water or bottled water taste about the same.

I have lived in a place in Florida where we had well water for drinking. Well, it'd be all fine and goo, since Florida has some of the best water around, but no... Our home had to be built above a Sulphur deposit. The water was unbearable. We had to use the refridgerated, filtered water that was piped through the fridge for drinking and cooking. The water for washing and showering stunk so bad...

Glad to have moved.  On another note, however, the place I lived before then, Zephyrhills, Florida, claims to have the purest water in the state, and even bottle it to sell to the rest of the country...

Raa??  What happened to your "'Torh"?

[Taristin]

It's still there, just smaller.. and err...  *flashy thingy's jdjtcagle*

Pierre: How dumb do I think the Americans are? Ha! I bet we
could sell those idiots water.

Random friend: Water? Pierre, sure, they're kinda stupid, but
theres no way they'd actually buy water!

Pierre: Oooh, yes they will! We'll just tell them its from France.


I can't tell ANY difference between tap and bottled.

EDIT: there, that better?

[Taristin]

Double Negetive! Wooooo!

[jdjtcagle]

*points finger at Jetmech Jr.*

Hey, Raa.. uhh.. I mean Torh.. ish
I can see it now!

[Taristin]

*flashy thingy's jdjtcagle again*

[Stunaep]

And so, why not drink mineral water? Like Vichy or Bonaqua. At least the difference is noticeable.

[Taristin]

I like my mineral water with alchohol

[jdjtcagle]

Help!!!... My eyes hurt and I'm so confused!$

[Taristin]

*flashy thingy's jdjtcagle a third time*

Hope this doesn't give you cancer...

[J3Vr6]

ok enough with the flashy thing.

I can really tell a difference between bottled water and tap water.  I live in the middle of downtown in an apartment and when I drink the tap water it gives me a headache.  I try not to drink that water if I can help it.

And when I'm cooking something w/ water, I'll use the big jug of spring water I buy from the supermarket.

[Singh]

where I come from......you drink tap water without boiling it or with a filter.......you get sick. Bad.
but that's India for you.

[J3Vr6]

I hear if you drink the water in India you get this wierd, red dot on your forehead
