My favorite bottle of water is Fuji that comes in a square bottle.
It's refreshingly cool and taste good. Some stores charge as much as $2.99 for the large bottle.
It's more than I care to spend on a bottle of water.
What I also like about it is that I can leave it in the hot car and the water is still cool not hot like the other bottled water.
Do you have a favorite brand of bottled water you buy?

I refuse to buy bottled water only because I think its ridiculous that you are being charged such an outrageous price for water that is just as good as tap water. Yes its convienent at points but seriously is it that hard for people to go out and buy a water bottle for $5 and then just constantly refill it? Plus did you know that there are studies that show bottled water isn't better than tap water and at some points is even worse for you. Plus I hate how much pollution it causes just to make all the water and the amount of waste that goes into throwing away the bottles. And yes you can recycle them but still just to break down plastic to recycle causes a ton of harm.
So if it was my choice I'd get rid of bottled water completely.

I agree with you,but have you ever drank the water in Los Angeles where in some areas the water comes out really cloudy. I live in So. Texas and its not bad water, but we do get notices once in a while about water problems and not to drink it. I'm from California and I'm a aware of "recycling", something Texas is just getting involved with.

Hello!
It is crazy sometimes the prices they charge for water! I know even when at concert, sports, or anywhere they charge like $3.00 for one bottle and that is nuts. I know for me having bottle water is easy when on the go.

Hello!
I tried Fuji once and cant even remember what it tasted like so it prob is no different than any others haha. I like mostly all spring waters and they dont have to be a known name.

My favorite brand is called "Out of my Sink".
But seriously, I don't think I really have a favorite kind or bottled water that I prefer over any other. I don't really drink that much bottled water unless I just have to like if I'm going walking somewhere (which I probably even wouldn't do that if I could find the cap on my water bottle).
I guess Aquafina or Dasani, if I had to say?

I am not really that fussy when it comes to branded water. The only water I don't like is Vittel as I have always found that to be way too bitter. Otherwise, most brands are fine, such as Evian, Buxton etc. And I am quite happy to drink supermarket own brand mineral waters too.

I may have tried Evian once and thought it was nothing that great.I am fine with any type of spring bottle water . I just dont like Giant Eagle bottled water something just dont taste right and the bottles smell funny.

I am from India. I think all brands of water taste alike. Ur question reminds me of Shakespeare's "That which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet...". :-) When I am thirsty, I dont care which water it is, as long as it quenches my thirst. :-) We have water purifiers in homes out here. So we dont exactly go for bottled water unless we are going out. And all brands are not available everywhere. So we cant really be that fussy. If I'd to choose, I would go with Kinley. I think. :-)

I will drink any spring water, and where I live, you are advised not to drink the tap water, so I have no choice, but I am definitely partial to Poland Sring when I'm on the east coast, Arrowhead when I'm on the west coast.

I really don't drink bottled water unless there is nothing else available. The tap water in my hometown is very good, thus I don't need to drink bottled water. However, there is one brand I absolutely hate, and that's the Canadian version of Desani (Coca Cola) water. It tastes very metalic, to me. The American Desani isn't that great, but it is better than the Canadian stuff.

Fuiji is best one because it has better flavor. Usually I drink tap water because it's cheaper and you save money my friend. It's an expense you can cut out and save on other bills, right? You can visit Food and Water Watch (foodandwaterwatch.org) as well as tappening.com and http://www.cspinet.org/nah/index.htm to find out more information in drinking tap versus bottled water.

I don't really have a favorite brand, somehow, water is just water for me. Here in US most of tap water is drinkable, but I understand in a few countries you can't drink from tap water directly unless you boil it first. I remember at mother house in Jakarta the use than big gallons of water for drinking only.

For some reason I just dont drink tap water anymore and it is fine here as well . I like having the bottle to carry when on the go that is what gets me the most i think . Sure, I have took my meds with sink water before no need to waste and my pets that water is fine for them . some people i know actually use bottle water for their pets.

Hello!
Latley I just by what is on sale or something that is not name brand. Giant Eagle bottle water I am not a fan of their water . I like mostly any type of spring waters. I like Aquafina is pretty good and the price is ok and you can get that on sale and stock up .

I usually drink filtered water from home to avoid the plastic bottles issue. However, that doesn't always work. If I have to buy bottled water - it is always Dasani. I love it. I used to get the lemon flavored Dasani all the time, but I havent seen that in quite a while. I make sure to recycle the bottles, too. But, to just answer your question - Dasani is my water of choice! Have a great day!!

My favorite to buy would have to be "Ice Mountain" Water, but I actually, to be honest, enjoy almost all brands of water that you can buy in the bottle, even the really cheap stuff. A lot of times we buy the real cheap water in bottles and jugs, because it tastes WAY better than our well water at home, and we can refill them, so it's nice :)

I like the Arrowhead brand but there is a new tax on buying bottled water that makes it very expensive so now I just refill my own bottle with boiled water.
