Default Can you taste the difference?

When it comes to bottled water?

I honestly don't get why there's so many different types, I only drink volvic and evian cause the big bottles are always £1 but I can't taste any difference at all

Nope, but I think water is meant to be pretty tasteless, so in a way that means the bottled water companies have got it right.

I never drink bottled water unless I have bottled it myself from the tap. I know when I am given bought bottled water.
I personally would never buy it because I don't like the idea of it on the shop and store shelves, not refrigerated even.

Yes, I definitely think there's a difference between the better brands like buxton and evian and the cheaper ones like the Iceni bottle water, and tap water is generally quite noticeably worse imo

Evian I think is the best

The more expensive bottles of water taste purer and are more refreshing than some of the cheaper ones.

can only taste the difference between tap water and filtered water. But that's because south-west water is quite hard.

I can't tell the difference. I hate fizzy water though... it tastes like some kind of indigestion remedy.

The worst thing is when you open a bottle of water and half down it then you realise it's fizzy and gag.

Some very misleading water bottle labels out there

Do you find lemon and lime flavoured water makes your mouth dry? Or is it just me?

It can do yes, it's probs the citrusy taste? Maybe. The strawberry ones are sweeter. Not keen on the peach ones.

Cant tell the difference, tap water tastes exactly the same as bottled water too if you leave the tap running for 20 secs or so first.

HATE flavoured waters and fizzy water with a passion

I always think bottled water tastes nicer than tap water but if I weren't to know which was which one then I probably wouldn't know, it's just the imagination. and I love sparkling water .

Not really, I do like flavoured water though. Peach flavoured Volvic is divine.

No, if I'm buying bottled water I always go for the cheapest own brand one but I can taste the difference between bottled water and the tap water from home, and I prefer the tap water

Yes, I think all of them taste quite different, if you get a glass of tap water and buy a Tesco every day value water and a bottle of Evian and did a blind folded taste test it would be extremely easy to tell which is which.
