Often, my friends claim that they don't like Dasani because it "tastes weird." I personally feel the same way.. except it's not weird! I think they taste good, but I can definitely tell a difference between Dasani and Aquafina. Other people I know can't taste anything. Do you taste anything when you drink either of these? Do you like them?

pouring a glass of water from a bottle - Here is someone pouring a glass of mineral water into a glass.
I think Dasani tastes terrible. I rarely use salt in my eating so I can taste very little salt. Apparently Dasani adds salt and other minerals so that is what I taste. Coca-Cola uses tap water from local municipal water supplies, filters it using the process of reverse osmosis and adds trace amounts of minerals, including magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt), potassium chloride (a sodium-free substitute for table salt), and common salt. Aquafina is however demineralized water and is just pure water.

They definitely seem to have a different taste, but I like them both. I usually buy Dasani because it tastes crisp. Aquafina is best when it's ice cold. I don't know what the difference could possibly be except how they process it and perhaps where it comes from.

I definitely "taste" Dasani and Aquafina. Aquafina I can drink because I don't mind the taste much. However, Dasani is another story for me. I can only drink that if it's cold. For some reason, when it is room temperature I can "taste" it even more and I really don't like it. I used to drink Arrowhead and Deer Creek, but now I just use a Pur filter! I love the taste of the Pur filtered water and plus it's much cheaper since I drink a lot!
