When I am thirsty for water and I am in a convenience store, I automatically go for the most expensive bottled water. This is because I feel that the more I pay for it, the better the water will be. But no matter how much I pay for it, it tastes the same. So I’m thinking that I might have to reconsider my method of water purchasing.

Yes, the most expensive bottled water is usually the best. Why is it the best? Because its the most expensive. Makes perfect circular-logic sense :)

Fuji is the best tasting bottled water, because its got that pretty 3D landscape scene on the back label ... I used to like Poland Spring because of its clean taste, but they recently changed the plastic bottle to a *green* thinner texture, which seems skimpy to me (but it *is* "greener"), so I don't particularly like Poland Spring no more. Volvic still has a robust square plastic bottle which is pretty good in that it doesn't tip over so easily, but the water inside is so-so at best. What I do is to save the Volvic square bottles and refill them from filtered tap water, and then I'm good to go :)

Yes, refilling Volvic botles with filtered tap is my current passion as far as bottled water goes .......

My Girl Scout troop did an experiment with bottled water a couple of meetings ago. We tasted six different kinds of bottled water, chosen largely at random off the Food Lion shelf (based on what was sold in a single bottle instead of a six-pack), and each girl rated each kind 1 to 5. Somewhere in there, we tried the water from the sink in the building where we meet. All nine girls and I liked the tap water best.
