Who Knew... aquafina water is Tap water!!!

It's funny I just saw your post, I was just watching the news and they were talking about this. I'm not sure what I think about it, I do drink that water and I don't think it will affect me when I'm picking my bottle water out. I only get bottled water when I'm out at a store, at home I drink well water.

I am not surprised at all. I drink tap water that is filtered and I like it better that bottled because I find bottled water has a plastic taste. I think it is a waste of money to buy bottled water and now there is even more reason not to. It is just tap water anyways. HAHA

Yes I know most bottled water is just plain tap water. I always drink plain water. My mom buys bottled water, occasionally I will get some of her bottles, I will wash them out, then refill them. The grandkids love getting in the fridge and getting a bottle of water.

I thought their water tasted funny. I never liked it. It all make sense to me now.LOL Well Im sure glad I put a water filter on my sink. These water companies are making herds of money off the people.LOL Thats so sad.

Hey j368, I've been hearing this about bottled water since the '80's-everyone should know by now that bottled water is just regular water that has been steamed & then returned back into water. It has a fancy name for that on the bottles but I can't think of it now |:X +'s |:)

I saw it on the news. My daughter buys the darn thing. I have to send her the article. I tell you these companies knows how to sucker people. I use the tap. I have one of those filters, and it does just fine.

No wonder i don't like Aquafina water! lol i really don't like it, but i DO like Dasani, which also comes from a public source. i guess either they come from different public sourves or they use different filtration processes...because i REALLY don't like Aquafina, but i think Dasani is great.

Yes I've read about that, both aquafina and dasani water. I confess I use bottled water a lot specially because it basically the only thing I drink and it's not only convenient but sometimes the only way to get water if I"m not home. I know I don't like the taste of dasani for some reason. It probably has to do with the minerals that are added. Aquafina doesn't have that taste and I will drink it if there is no other option. My aunt usually boils the tap water and keeps it in the fridge to drink, but somehow I don't like the taste of water that was boiled or filtered with brita I don't really know how to explain, after all water should have no taste but I can taste the difference in several water sources. I drink tap water as well but sometimes it seems to taste a bit strongly of chlorine. It's nice to know that they are making sure the water is safe, but when it's too strong I don't like it.

I am a little upset that I have paid for tap water. But at the same time, I knew that somehow it tasted strangely familiar. I always did call it ghetto water because of the taste, but especially because of the name.

Oh yes, this was expected. Dasani as well according to reports. I usually drink tap water. It's all in the packaging and promotion would you not agree? Great discussion, by the way!
