Yeah, I just love the fact I've paid for tap water all these years.....mostly I stick to my Brita filter.....despite the facts manufacturers of Aquafina earned a lot of money on naive americans like myself.

The fact still remains that Aquafina is purified, it's no different than what you get from your Britta. I just don't see what the big deal is I guess, I could see if they were saying they were selling spring water(unpurified) and it was really unpurified tap water. But, is there really much difference between purified spring water and purified tap water?

It depends on what brand is on sale. I will drink Ice Mountain, Dasani and Aquafina.

Depends on (a) means of purification, and/or (b) other impurities/minerals that may or may not be there.

I tried Fiji water today - it was pretty good. I've always been leary of spring water, mainly because aquavista (bottled in Worland WY) tastes like it came from the tap. So I wonder, do they test spring water for impurities and such, and what guarantee do we have that they do?

I think Evian is probably the best. I feel like Fiji is way too overpriced and you don't get any other benefits than the name.

I only buy this once in awhile, for as water goes its kind of expensive Metomint. However I only have regular old cheap bottled water stocked up for emrgancies now.
