Evian is the best bottled water

Everyone I know disagrees but Evian water just tastes different and better to water from other brands and tap water. It’s just the best isn’t it?! Will drink tap water and other brands of bottled water but don’t like them as much

@gotelltheoldmandowntheroad What is the best Ph for water? And is that for taste, health, hydration?

Sparklingbrook · 12/08/2022 13:28

I don't think it will matter who likes which soon because bottled water is starting to be rationed. So i imagine it'll be like the panic buying of the loo roll/pasta/tinned tomatoes and the shelves will be empty.

Our tap water is nasty so we have Brita jug and refill reusable bottles, but i'm not one that needs to permanently have a bottle of water in my hand or I'll turn to dust.

I can afford it

Buxton is my favourite.

True! I saw a news programme a while ago featuring a video interview of the Evian CEO - he honestly looked like the most glowing and healthy human I've ever seen in my life!

RealBecca · 12/08/2022 13:39

Well as long as you can afford it then carry on with the huge environmental impact. Fuck everyone else left to live with your choice.

And plastic cannot be infinitely recycled. Only 10% is actually recycled, up to 45% in the uk.

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 12/08/2022 13:40

Yes! Evian and smart water are peak

Volvic tastes like it has aspartame in

FizzyTango · 12/08/2022 13:41

Totally agree, its the only bottled water I like! I drink tap water mainly though, before anyone shouts at me for drinking bottled water....(well actually I think my main source of hydration is tea lol).

I can afford it

The planet can't.

We're incredibly fortunate in this country that we have safe and relatively affordable water literally on tap in just about every property in the country. We even flush our toilets with it.

And some of us don't properly appreciate that privilege in a world where many have to walk miles to get their drinking water out of a muddy spring.

smalalalalalala · 12/08/2022 13:42

I love it too but will definitely for tapbwater first.

Recycling requires a lot of energy: transport, storage, recycling. It's better than single use but still not an excuse to use plastic bottle if can avoid.

My aunt can get free Evian water from the source. Evian and eco-friendly.

Montymorency · 12/08/2022 13:43

Badoit is best imho!

I don't see the point of buying water, even if you can afford it either. Very occasionally an icy cold bottle of water from the fridge in a cafe is really nice with food though.

Londonrach1 · 12/08/2022 13:45

It has a soapy taste to me. Drinking tap water now which is yummy. I don't like water if it comes from a plastic bottle as it takes plastic and has a plastic smell hence why prefer tap water.

Yorkshire Water from the tap is unbeatable, but sadly exclusive (and increasingly out of stock).

This

Improved only by boiling and adding to Yorkshire Tea and Yorkshire milk.

whalleyt · 12/08/2022 13:46

I love it but also love Voss & Vittel.

Hate Buxton & Highland spring.

BarbaraofSeville · 12/08/2022 13:46

I bought a bottle of Voss sparkling water for a couple of quid just so I had a nice glass bottle to keep tap water chilling in the fridge door.

I can't remember anything about the water, it all tastes the same to me.

whalleyt · 12/08/2022 13:46

there's a blue bottled one that's nice

SocksAndTheCity · 12/08/2022 13:46

I like Hildon water best, but Evian is OK. I mostly drink fizzy tap water, since I have a Sodastream 😀

whalleyt · 12/08/2022 13:47

Good to know in a drought where Evian is the only potable water available, we can push you out of the queue.

😆

LondonWolf · 12/08/2022 13:48

Agree OP. And best at room temperature.

LondonWolf · 12/08/2022 13:49

Fiji is my next best favourite but still not as nice as Evian.

whalleyt · 12/08/2022 13:49

why on earth would you spend money on bottled water when there is perfectly good water coming out of the tap.

it's not either or is it?

I drink plenty of tap & filtered water. However I don't drink alcohol, hate milk, dislike tea & coffee, don't really like juice & hate soft drinks so I do like a nice bottle of water to mix it up!

LondonWolf · 12/08/2022 13:50

And Volvic is plain nasty.

Chilesstanton · 12/08/2022 13:52

Poland spring (US) is the best, followed by smart water
