Which do you prefer?

Canada has some of the best tap water in the world, but more and more people are choosing to drink bottled water instead. Is it because it tastes better? Or because you feel it's better for you than tap water? But the bottles in which the "pure" water comes in take a thousand years to bio-degrade.

What do you think?

For me, I like filtered tap water, has the best "taste".

At work I drink filtered tap water because the building I work in is old and the water tastes funny from the tap. I'm only on the 7th floor but the cold water is rarely cold and the hot water is non-existant. At home, I use the big bottles of water where the bottles get returned and reused. I can't stomach all the chlorine the city puts in our drinking water. Yuck!

Filtered through a brita, or bottle.

I drink water from the tap, and it doesn't taste any different than bottled water.

I've had bottled water that's had a bad, almost metallic taste to it.

In Taiwan, you can't drink the tap water without treating it with an RO and UV filter. The dumd shits have so many illegal toxic waste dumps it's not funny. Six years ago some assholes dumped a a shitload of xylene into the Gaoping River, less than 1/2 a kilometre from the water intake for the city of Kaohsiung. For three days you couldn't even bathe in the water.

For the most part we drank bottled water, but even it was of dubious quality, as random testing found out. When I was on Kinmen I had drank water from a municipal water pump, supposedly filtered through RO and UV. An hour later my mouth was full of blisters and my tongue turned black and bloody. Reverse osmosis and ultra violet obviously are ineffective against chemical contamination.

Tap water, when I am out and about and need a drink to quench my thirst, it's Dasani all the way, nothing beats water when you're thirsty.

Beer beats it hands down. Roman Legions carried vinegar rather than water in their canteens as it quenched thirst better than water. Apple cider vinegar is pretty good if it's mixed one part to 3 parts of water.

gah, dasani. That and aquafina. My piss tastes better. It is fine when it is ice cold, but as soon as it warms up a little, throw that shit out.

And just how would you know this????

Aquafina stinks, I don't where you get Dasani has a bad taste, maybe it's because of drinking too much of your piss? :wink:

That would explain why the Roman Empire collapsed :P
