Yup, like I said, Norweigan water is excellent, even the tap water.

If I drink bottled water, it's usually this though:



You can taste the minerals and I like that it is quite heavily carbonated. It should either be that or completely uncarbonated. San Pellegrino and other lightly carbonated ones are not to my liking.

Most places I eat at have this water, and I get it everytime.
Mostly because I cant stand the idea of the waiter/waitress trapesing around the resturaunt lazily placing the pitcher in the rim of everyones glass passing everyones flu/cold germs around the room.

I would try this stuff

Hell, why not go all the way and try Kona Nigari water for nearly $17 per ounce.

holding a bottle of water in your hands doesnt make you all dapper and stuff

CarrieMpls said:

They make a tank? Cool. I hate refilling the damned pitcher all the time (I drink a lot of water).

CarrieMpls said:

I keep Voss bottles around to refill and put by my bed and whatnot.

And every once in a while I buy a bottle of Fiji 'cause it's delicious, and those bottles are cool too.

don't drink too much of it hon, the mineral content is going to give you kidney stones.

jerseykrs said:

wha???

CarrieMpls said:

omg, me too!

live4lust said:

serious, fiji water has a really high disolved mineral content in it, too much of it will give you kidney stones bro!

jerseykrs said:

luckily i just buy it once in awhile and re-use the bottles with my filter. is it because it comes from the center of the earth?

live4lust said:

lol, I don't know why, but it is true. I think I'm a water snob.


it is good, just not all the time.

Voss is actually my fave, but it is hard to find everywhere.

has anyone tryed that bottled natural rain water?

jerseykrs said:

No worries, I drink it a few times per year, maybe.

meggy said:

Sounds like a hairspray.

yeah i use a nice waterboiler that automatically filters the water
before you boil it. it's from Brita.

i have to change to filters about once a month.

i don't really dig bottled water too much because a lot of those
brands contain far to many trace minerals that your body's unable
to assimilate and therefore they accumulate in your kidneys.

every now and again a few liters of mineral water isn't bad at
all. in fact, it's still better than any kind of soda, so.....

but it's probably a bad idea to drink like 3 galons of the same
mineral water each and every day.

I have a Brita pitcher, works for me.

I got into mint water for a minute:





... but then I bought some peppermint extract & started making my own. Bottled water costs too fucking much

they say Melbourne's tap water was the best in the world, but there isn't much of it left now, they might have to start desalinating soon

I bought a Brita tap filter when I was pregnant, but then never bought replacement filters it did make the water taste smoother and a little less metallic in taste.

lol i do the same thing every summer. just get a crate of 1,5 liter bottles
of "Spa" mineral water (european) and keep it nice and cold refrigerated.

i put all kinds of stuff in there like limes, lemons, fresh mint etc etc...

tastes great and costs a fraction of real flavoured water

IstenSzek said:

"real" flavoured water is probably mostly artificial anyway, this way you get the flavour fresh

ZombieKitten said:

exactly. "real" flavoured water usually contains lots of sugar
or artificial sweeteners.

just like with iced tea. you can make absolutely supertasty
iced tea yourself in summer with NO additives except water,
tea and perhaps some lemon or honey.

live4lust said:

You really shouldn't re-use the bottles. They are made of a type of plastic that degrades -- and there is just no way to clean them.

Get a bottle that is meant to be re-used and that can be run through the dishwasher (or at least hand washed) on occasion -- it's healthier.

I have Brita pitchers at home and at work -- and a Nalgene bottle at work that I fill from the pitcher.

another thing i've noticed at my parent's house is the way they wash
their dishes and use too much washing up liquid.

it's like when you pour yourself a glass of water, there's still a
little bit of that fairy or whatever stuff in there, like a film on
the water.



once i've noticed this i always put my glasses under the tab soon
as i've washed them to wash out the excess washing up liquid stuff



my guess is the same applies for bottles and all other stuff you
use.

CalhounSq said:

I bought that stuff once like when it first came out here... it was all slimy when I pored it into a glass
