    I generally don't like the taste of tap water (our water comes from an aquifer but it also is chlorinated and fluorinated). We do have filters but we just prefer to lug in the bottled water :lol:. And yes, I do know that in the US, municipal water has more stringent standards by the EPA than bottled water has by the FDA.

    I like bottled water and am particular to spring water, or Dasani and Aquafina (I know the latter are from municipal sources but I like the taste of them). Though generally, I'm not a snob when it comes to bottled water, except for Great Value from Walmart which has, to me, a weird plastic taste.

    I also love club soda with ice.

    My favorite form of water would have to be mineral water. I love Gerolsteiner and San Pellegrino best. Nothing goes better with a meal or on a hot summer day (except sweet tea), than a chilled bottle of mineral water.

    Is this a trick question? No I am not into water sports.

    Honestly I can drink any kind of water, no preference.

    For some reason, I never liked Fiji Water. It had an odd taste to me. For fancy premium super duper water, I prefer Voss.

    I like tap water in Canberra and Melbourne. Queensland's tastes horrible, Sydney's is pretty bad, and Adelaide's is atrocious. They don't even have flourine in some parts of Queensland.

    However, ever since I started drinking sparkling water in Sweden and Finland (it's so much more common than in Australia), I've really loved it, which surprised me given that I've never liked soft drink. Otherwise, I don't like bottled water because of the cost.

    I'm okay with tap water most of the time. I'll drink fruit flavoured water sometimes during the summer, just for a change.

    I actually prefer tap water,

    When ever I start drinking bottled/mineral water, I always seem to end up with kidney stones :tears:

    I never seem to have that with tap water. Plus I do like the taste :icon_bigg

    Lemon flavored mineral water or just regular bottled water. I don't drink tap water, who knows what's in it.

    I miss the well-water we had up in Michigan. City Water tastes too much like a swimming pool.

    My favorite now is sparkling mineral waters, especially San Pellegrino.

    In summer, particularly during heat waves (which in western WA means when it hits anything above 70 degrees :lol:slight_smile:, I like sparkling water. Imported sparkling mineral water is a little too expensive, so I make due with domestic water that has bubbles added. Also I often go with a flavor, like lemon lime. The brand I tend to get the most is Talking Rain, which is reasonably cheap on sale.

    I have never been able to get excited about tap water, and tap water in some places is so bad if someone forgot the government regulations...

    I like bottled spring water since it doesn't have the metallic taste of tap water or "purified" bottled water. I also like drinking sparkling water with natural fruit flavors.

    I don't know about that. I remember seeing the ad for Instant Water which promised great convenience. To rehydrate, you just add water!

    (Yes, it was a joke ad.)

    water in NYC is really good. I can't drink water from a filter (like brita), it just doesn't taste good to me. bottled water generally tastes pretty good though

    I can't drink tap water, I think it's sooo gross to think about. I usually drink Dasani bottled water but really I'll drink any bottled water.

    Tap water in my city is great. If I buy a bottle of water, I'll refill it with tap water over and over, so I buy it for the bottle rather than the water.

    Filtered city water works just fine for me. It's some high-quality H2O.
