Just curious to know who else besides me loves to drink Evian water.

To me, Evian water is hands down, the best tasting drinking water on the planet.

Anyone else here like to drink it? I drink at least a half gallon of it every day.
 
Man it's good stuff. But wow I wish I could afford to burn through it. When we were in DC we had a pass to the concierge lounge. I burned through at least 20 in 4 days. That was on top of about 20 $5.00 diet cokes. I put a hurting on the place, lucky for them I don't drink.
 
My wife loves Fiji water.
I tease her that it come from an old toothless tan man on an almost deserted island , sitting infront of a rust stained sink filling bottles one at a time from a tap...

It's definitely better than tap water, that's for sure.

Best water hands down was Dartmoor peat filtered river water, followed by Volvic.

WalMart distilled water. I’ll pit it against your fancy French liquid any day.

Or my well.

Either way, my freedom water wins.

I've been waiting for the "French" comment.

This water flows out of our planet from Mother Nature. She doesn't know which country it flows from. She only knows it flows from her.

As far as Wal-Mart distilled water is concerned, it may taste better to you, but it won't to me.:)
 
At a certain point it’s just water. I’ve probably had them all at some point. When it’s hot and I am thirsty the Circle K brand does the job. You are really splitting hairs if you are arguing one bottled water over another. Think that might be considered a first world problem.
 
Nah. I'm just asking if other members here like Evian water. I don't want anyone to read too much into my thread here.
 
:D:D:D
 
Haven't tried Evian but now I will. La bleu is the purest water on the market and what I get. I saw a news show once where they tested the conductivity of different bottled water. The more minerals in the water the more electricity it conducted La bleu was the least conductive and as an added bonus it's bottled in Davie Co. NC.
 
I like Evian and Fiji water, however we get SmartWater from Costco, a case of 15 1 liter bottles is around $12...it works out to be around $1.25 a bottle, I keep a case in my truck and my wife has a case in her car, and we keep around 10 cases in the pantry as preps, they have a smaller footprint and take up less space than a case of standard rate bottles.
 
When I lived in West Germany it was the only water my family drank. Probably because it was the only bottled water the tiny PX carried. It was a whole lot cheaper over there than it is here.

And because if you'd let German tap water sit for a while, all the sediment would become visible in the bottom of the glass.
 
I remember years ago I read that the flavor of the water had more to do with the chemical make up of the bottle itself than it did with the actual water.

Someone did a (blind iirc) taste test, refilled 4-5 different popular water bottle brands with the exact same tap water. Folks primarily chose one of the "top tier" bottles as the best tasting.

I buy cases of distilled water from what ever grocery store has it on sale, too poor to buy that high test.

I don't drink Evian, but do drink Core Hydration water. Core is pretty good, but like Evian, a little pricey for water, lol.
 
It’s not bad but is pricey . My daughter and I go through fruit20 by the case though

I was in Austin, TX last week and the convention host was talking about their water (in relation to cooling tower make up but still applicable). He said with their hard limestone, they don’t have water. They have liquid rock.
 
I think we should do a water taste test. If anybody can pick out Evian bottled water vs other brands in a blind test, I'll buy them a cookie.

I've often thought my overall decent health to age 65 was built on drinking Harnett County water growing up - chlorinated, fluoridated, and then filtered directly from the Cape Fear River. I had a college stint at Campbell College (now University!) back in the 1970s, and my Environmental Geology professor told us a test of catfish from the Cape Fear had a concentration of mercury around 200 times the amount considered safe at the time. If my body could absorb and use that water, what chance would bacteria and viruses have against me?
 
As y’all can deduct from this thread, water is an acquired taste just like any drink or food. Magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium among other inorganic affect water taste alongside of pH.
I lived in Tampa for a short time and the most common water was Zephyrhills, man it was like drinking silica water - did not like that water at all.
 
When we would be hauling hay in a 95 degree field in August, the best water was that tepid well water in a 1 gallon plastic milk jug, coated in red clay dust, that sat on the trailer tongue. And we ALL drank out of it. It’s...what we had. Every time we brought a load in, we refilled it at the well pump.
 
There is a spot in Virginia that has the best water I have ever tasted. It blows away any bottled water, tap, hose and is the perfect temperature to drink regardless of time of year. It literally bubbles up from the ground and a very small trench runs into the nearby creek.

An old Mine shaft was constructed 100 years ago that ran into the water table and they sealed it off... but a small place on the surface ruptured through and equalized the pressure. I don't know if the coal filters it and I had it tested in 93 (I did the testing) at VT and did not contain any heavies, particles or bacterium.

Just a freak of nature and man.... I always thought I could set up shop on the place and literally bottle money. We used to ride motorcycles all day and then ride down from the mines and drink till we were full.... awesome.
 
Best water I have ever had came straight from a spring on the side of the road in WV. People from all over the state would bring their milk jugs to fill up.
 
My well water filtered through the berkey tastes pretty good.... And way cheaper. Otherwise whatever is on sale...

My in-laws make whomever is on a road trip to FL pick up as many cases of that stuff as they can.
 
There's a woman at work that goes up to Shatley (sp?) springs here in NC with empty gallon jugs to fill up every few months. She left a jug on my desk one day as a gift. It was one of those "disingenuous thank you" moments. Supposedly people think it's a fountain of youth or something.

I didn't have the heart to tell her that the used milk jugs were tainting the water to taste like plastic.
