Have you tried Fiji? It tastes like boiled rocks. You can absolutely have preferences

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.

...twenty-five years ago fiji tasted heavenly, then something changed around 2003 and it's never been the same...

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.

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

Dasani was withdrawn from the UK after just a few weeks.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

I don't have any strong preferences for bottled water when I have to purchase it except Desani somehow tastes absolutely disgusting
