Fiji is hands down the best water i've tasted.

Dasani tastes like they took it straight from Lake Wheeler.

Dasani and Aquafina are basically municipal tap water that has been filtered at the bottling plant by the same filter used to prepare municipal water for cola production. Each company then adds back a mix of soluble minerals to avoid a flat taste like distilled water. Various people dislike Dasani, Aquafina, or both because of the added minerals. Other people like them. YMMV.

One thing is certain... Fiji is priced 3 to 4 times higher per liter than D or A.

Our household prefers Pellegrino.

Not to sound like a water snob, but I’d make my own if I could.

Weird then that the primary water supply for Raleigh is Falls Lake, where swimming and recreational boating are not only allowed, but encouraged. Same goes for Jordan Lake, which supplies much of Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and Chatham county with their water.

Easily-replaceable water filter in your fridge removes FAR more stuff than what you think is removed in over-priced bottled water.
Read the labels...

If a city has adequate or above adequate purification methods, none of this should cause any concern. We're not talking about Flint, MI here.
