Weird. Fiji is one of the few that tastes like absolutely nothing to me which is what I want my water to taste like. Nothing. Don't like it's price though. It's fucking water. I ain't paying that much for water.
Well some people are more sensitive to certain tastes. People who don't like peanuts can taste it when they eat m&Ms. I personally am very opinionated on water. It happens
Coca-Cola is an evil company. But it’s still fucking crazy to me that the company became so successful that it’s product at one point was the most recognizable/understood word in the world behind OK is just selling bubbly sugar water at an absurd markup.
I also have complicated feelings about their old antique merch because I know it’s effectively propaganda, but I think it looks really cool and my grandmother had a lot of it around her house
I’m from Atlanta, trust me I know all the terribleness, doesn’t change that I think it aesthetically looks cool and it’s tied to my memory of a nice lady I never really got to know because Alzheimer’s
The fucking nazis actually come to mind, Hugo Boss knows how to cut fabric
Edit: to be clear I’m not saying wearing SS uniforms would be acceptable but I also think there’s a bit of space between that and having an antique coke machine for the look
Where I live, the taste has that sort of La Croix thing going on where it tastes like the bottle sat open adjacent to a sewer. Smells alright, but when I taste it it makes me ಠ_ಠ
Nice, RO seems tops. Gotta sacrifice some water of course. Remineralization, interesting. Pricey? Evaluate a lotta brands? curious which one you went with.
Out where I am they have primo. So I just take jugs to fill up. They're my favorite by default though they don't really have any other options where I live
I have a berkey and I really like it. Makes my water taste like water. Not much different than running fresh mountain stream water through a katadyn or something.
Do you reckon humour is ever used as an advanced torture resistance tactic? A very morbid thought, but I now wonder if anyone has ever made their torturers crack up to make them fond of their victim, in order to escape.

Yeah I've been handed a bottle at some point when being sold something. If it tasted like anything it wasn't enough to have been memorable.
It's fucking water.

Dasani was withdrawn from the UK after just a few weeks. I tried it and it was truly disgusting.

I found out that the taste of Dasani changes depending on where you are.
In California/Nevada it tastes like I'm sniffing an open sewer. Up north, it's perfectly inoffensive.

It’s fancy tap water. Amazing that Coke makes so much money off it

some terrible things have great aesthetics, of course. and coca-cola spent a century engraining itself into nostalgia, not surprised it clicks.

its literally just tap water straight from a water main, that they basically don't pay for.

Any water snobs out there who have a favorite filter?
Tried something like this and it was absolutely godly:

👏 lucky
I already filter and it just ain’t the best I’ve ever had and it’s hard to forget that fact

Reverse osmosis with a remineralization alkaline post filter. Best water I've ever had, installed one in the kitchen for cooking/drinking

Just shy of $200 which isn't bad, although I did also buy the booster pump to maintain the most efficient water pressure

Thank you! Will evaluate this one.
And they even got a nice shot of you setting it up!
