Anyone taken one of those blind tests? Which one did you like better?

I haven't taken any blind tests, but I've found it kind of depends where the water came from for tap water.  Bottled is good, but tap can also be good depending on the area.

I'm not a big water fan.  I do try to drink it while at work though.  I get it right from the fountain.  No reason to pay for bottled water.

No blind tests but I'm surprised at the response cuz bottled H2O is advertized daily as a better choice vs Tip. Me, it depends on the location. My tap water taste like iron. In fact if I don't let it run for a few mins there is a stream of reddish/brown color in the stream. Super market drinking fountians are fine but @ home absolutely bottled water! :wave:

Neither. The water we use today is already contaminated to a high degree. Filtered water is not 100% pure, but it’s the only alternative for now which is better than
nothing. Reciting prayers, saying and thinking positive thoughts will certainly improve the water quality. :thumbsup:

 i was not picky about my water either until i started doing the housework on certain days i would smell something bad like ammonia i did not where it was coming from i live near a water plant and the chemical are very strong  on thoses days i noticed my laundry smelled and had to be rewashed several times to remove the smell still i was convinced that my city water was safe to drink then one day i got glass filled from the kitchen tap and before i could take a sip the smell nearly made me pass out
I drink tap.

I love me some well water, but can't find any in the city, it's all I ever had, living in the country it's all we know, when I was younger we had the manual well that we had to draw the water up with a bucket, then we finally got a well pump....so I drink bottled water until I find myself out and I have to force myself to drink tap water....I put ice in it to improve the taste....

I have a well so I drink from the tap. But if I lived in the city, I would drink bottled. Did some research on fluoride . . . bad stuff.

I haven't taken a blind test but for the most part I like tap water.  When I travel I drink bottled water.
