[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;25441198]Studies have showed that the tap water in North America is perfectly safe to drink right out the faucet. At least in Canada that is.[/QUOTE]
Its also been shown that most bottled water...is tap water.
If you're reading this post, in most cases, the tap water in your city is healthier than bottled water.
Well not all of us can afford to clutter our house with plastic bottles.
Or afford to recycle them.
I think tap water actually tastes better
I live in scotland, scottish water is awesome.
If i can afford bottled water then generally i can afford a flavored drink, i usually only have tap water when im super thirsty or just have no money.
My tap water comes out freezing cold, so i prefer it over bottled.
From Norway for those who are too lazy to look over there <----
[QUOTE=Dradious;29932484]Usually I just get one sturdy bottle of water, and then keep refilling it until it breaks or gets lost.[/QUOTE]
yeah and at warm times like these, I fill it with water and put it in the freezer to the point it gets partially iced.
Bottled water is tap water. In a bottle.
No point in paying for water. Well that's my opinion anyway.
My science teacher keeps on telling the class that tap water from Texas tastes like oil and salt. Is any of this true?
Buying bottled water is like buying a bottle of pepsi in a gift shop of an all-inclusive resort.
(This is true, it happened in jamaica :v:)
[QUOTE=edja007;25452270]I always buy and drink only bottled water. I do not care if it's from a tap or whatever, but my tap water tastes fucking terrible, if you leave it overnight, in the morning it will have a mushroom like aftertaste. Probably pipes have shrooms growing in them. Pipes or not, I cannot fix that, so go bottled water.[/quote]
First of all, get a filter.
[quote]As to oil used in producing plastic bottles. None of my business, even if it will somehow impact us, it will only when I'll be dead anyway.[/QUOTE]
Second of all, what kind of fucking retarded assclown could possibly have such an irresponsible and selfish opinion?

I've got a filter installed directly into my tap. The only problem with my particular one is that (thanks to my mother's fear of any "chemicals"(she's a bit of a hippy), it filters out most of the fluoride.
I tend to drink unfiltered water a lot at work and school, though. Tastes delicious. Then again, my city has some of the cleanest water in the world iirc.
I personally hate the taste of bottled water also since tap water is on average just as clean, doesn't cost a thing and doesn't hurt the environment I don't drink it.
Just get some sort of water bottle and use tap water for it.
Cheaper and healthier.
[QUOTE=Aredbomb;25446572]Municipal water suppliers have a lot more laws about how they clean and distribute water than bottled water companies do. More often than not municipal water is cleaner than bottled water.
Well water is a different story though, that stuff is very easily contaminated and even if it's clean, it's usually very hard water, so it causes calcium buildup and tends to have a foul taste and smell.[/QUOTE]
In kitchener it's all well water. I can taste the difference and I prefer bottled water. It almost tastes chalky compared to bottled.
But the Brita filters usually helps the taste of our tap water
Even if bottled water was more pure, what makes water healthy is the simple fact that it collects all those minerals which we can use to strengthen our bodies.
The water where I live tastes awesome. The only problem is that my current house has wierd pipes, so water tastes funny after you've run the hot tap - you have to run it cold for a few minutes and it goes back to tasting nice. I think hard water tastes nicer as well, which is handy as the majority of the UK has 'very hard' water.
If I do buy bottled water, I buy bottles of table water from Sainsburys. 16p ($0.26) for two litres, handy when I'm at work.

This is just in, [I]water doesn't have a flavor[/I].
What you're tasting is either pipe rust or any other rubbish.

This just in, water with minerals does actually have a taste :v:
Also, minerals are added to drinking water just like fluoride is.

Everything on what is considered drinkable water by most standards is well beyond PPM measurements. Most drinkable water is actually around 99% water. You won't taste that 1 percent.
You will however taste any addition that is highly reactive, like any metal or salt, which by majority should not exist in drinkable water.
I only have bottled water if there isn't anything else.
It's $2.50 AUS dollars in a vending machine here, and the one time that I decided to buy a bottle it was warm. :saddowns:
I like the tap water when it's cold. I bought a whole heap of bottles, big 1.5 litre ones and filled them and put them in the fridge. Cold water whenever I want.
The standards of tap water for the purpose of drinking, compared to that of bottled water, are much higher in the UK, as it's a mostly government provided service, while bottled water is a commercial product.
[QUOTE=Super dator;29931612]Don't buy water! water is infinite and you can drink it in secret, so noone thinks your stealing it

Yo yo yo very not smart fak yo fak yo wannabe infinite fakkk yoooooooooooo
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;25445093]Yes, as do most things. Unless it has absolutely nothing in it, but you rarely come by 100% pure water.[/QUOTE]
See, people say that pure water is tasteless but I've tried water before that's been distilled through many methods (deionisation, boiling and re condensing, etc), and every single time, while it's been VERY faint, I've been able to taste something. It's almost like it's not there, like it's on the very edge of existing, but it IS there.
While I guess they may have picked up a few ions from the air/as they exited the tap, I doubt it'd be much, right?
Tap water needs to meet higher standards then bottled water here, so almost nobody buys it.
I think its really tasty.
The tap water here is known to be some of the best in Europe (Rotterdam).
my mother insists on boiling our tap water before drinking when it's perfectly fine on its own
i think she still lives in the 1970s
Buying bottled water is completely stupid. If anybody is so fussy about the "taste", I've found putting tap water in the fridge alters it somewhat. Stop getting taken advantage of over a few marketing ploys.
Also at least here in Aus, the "free cup/jug of water" is mandated by law at any alcohol licensed place. More than likely to be the case anywhere in the world.
Where I live we have really clear tap water so I find bottled water pointless
