I bought a tiny bottle (yes, I paid $1.00 for 355mL of water) today...WHY ON EARTH DOES IT TASTE LIKE SALT-WATER, took a sip *ugh, so salty* then it left an after-taste as if I drank liquid ash-tray. Why is it like that...I also would like to say the same about AQUAFINA, except the after-taste is MUCH MUCH worse.

I can't imagine how Dasani tastes like what you've just described. To me, it's like taking tap water, removing the chlorine and adding a small bit of sugar, with a bit of a sweet aftertaste, kinda pleasant actually.
As nice as it is, tap water is just fine for me :p

OMG I know it's soo salty! Why do the commercials have that 5x hot filter guys? o_0; It's so "eww". lol I do find that Aquafina is cleaner but I think it's also from the marketing. Seriously, if I did that water blind-folded test I may choose Coca Cola's Dasani's water. lol
Right now I'm drinking filtered water at home and Brita water at res. Brita's water not so bad compared to Dasani. I actually got a free bottle of Dasani and emptied it with Brita water. XD

IMO nestle is the best cheap bottled water avilable in Canada. in usa poland springs wins.

You are right, Dasani is tap water. www.cbc.ca/news/background/consumertips/index.html
Working in a movie theatre, I can't believe people still pay 5 bucks for a bottle of refined tap water.

To me, I would rather have water that has a bit of taste to it. Aquafina is absolutely tasteless. I don't know of any natural water in the world is as tasteless as that stuff!
Granted some of the heavily mineraled water out there -such as the Evian and the Perrier - is an acquired taste... Poland Springs is a good water and so is Dassini for the mass market.

Sep 16th, 2006, 03:17 PM
anybody notice that the water products put out by Coca Cola & Pepsi (Dasani & Aquafina) are the worst tasting?
Dasani is so salty

Dasani SUCKS
I never buy it.
Not a fan either.. Evian of course is my favorite but it's expensive as hell.. Even Montclair and the ones you find in a Petro Canada is better than Dasani

You guys should try VOSS, that water is completely different but extremely expensive.

Evian for me all the way. One of the few that are actually classified as mineral/spring water. "This must come from an underground source (not a public water supply) and can't be altered with chemicals." It's no wonder it is better and cleaner tasting than the rest, and I certainly don't mind paying the premium for it either.

any bottled water is fine, think of those without even clean water to drink from
some taste wierd (has a plastic taste), some are tasteless, and some have salt/sweet taste to it
in the end, when i'm thirsty, it doesnt matter

It's nothing but Naya (Danone) for me especially the one frpom the Mirabel source, I'm surprised nobody mentionned it. It's spring water...no tap crap and you can taste the difference.
However, when it's a hot day and they have it at the store I'll splurge and get a bottle of Fiji!

i'd drink evian, naya, nestle, and montclair over dasani anyday. for some reason whenever i drink dasani, i think "this is what's leftover when they're done making coke". maybe it's because it has a weird sweetness to it.

I've noticed that liquid ash tray taste too the first time i ever drank it.. it tastes like coal water...

I find it pretty funny that we even complain about our bottled water.. where in third world countries... they only have 1 source of water to drink from.... anyways....

had dasani once. hated it, never again.
i like nestle the best, and im not drinking tap water at work with those old ass pipes. But at home, tap water is fine cuz of our filters.
My house is almost 20 years old now, and we have a central filter and another nikken unit in the kitchen from which i usually drink and it tastes great. when i fillup my glass in the basement where the pipes never get used, the water tasts horrible. .
also, anyone ever had to replace a section of pipe in your house??? if you have, take a look, its gross. there's a thick layer of sludge around the inside of the pipe. knowing that all your water is touching that is enough to make you wanna drink only spring water or heavily filtered water. yuuuuck

Buy a bottle of each, chill them all and then pour them in identical glasses. Have someone mark them and then mix them up.
Now see if you can match them to their bottles. I bet not. It's all in your heads.

If I'm out and need a small bottle of water, I'll buy whatever is the cheapest, spring water. President's Choice is cheap.

Aquafina > Dasani > Nestle > Evian
Evian taste really funny to me....
Aquafina > nothing else.
Dasani Tastes blah.
Nestle Tastes like ass. Its got this funky after taste. I'm sorry but that's gotta be the worst bottled water EVAR.
Evian = Last resort.
Again, its what you like, I did the hidden label challenge and I liked Aqua the best. Since then, that's what I have been drinking.

I have to agree that Dasani is the worst in terms of taste. It tastes strange and sort of tinny, I really can't explain it. I think the best for the money is PC water.

Fiji water is by far the best of the bunch. As for the rest, I actually like Aquafina best even though it's just tap water. Anyone ever tried Bling H20? At like 40 bucks for a 500 ml bottle it's the most expensive water in the world :lol:.
Really though, I need to just stop wasting money buying bottled water in the first place, it's a waste of money and bad for the environment too.

Wow, it seems a lot of you guys don't like the Dasani brand water. Actually, I find the Dasani brand unflavoured bottled water has the most freshing taste in comparison to other major brands of bottled water.

$40 for water. Wow!
I get the 5 gallon (US) refills of spring water (dispenser type), so it's not bad for the environment and the water is a lot better tasting than tap water.

Well it's more of a novelty than anything else. The bottle has swaroski crystals on it, but it's just normal filtered water inside the bottle.
