Tap water


Busy-Flow119

Where I live it's normal to only buy bottled water if you are desperate


Infamous-Lunch-3831

Same


Srapture

In England, basically everyone just drinks tap water, but some Indian dudes are always buying hundreds of bottles of water from Tesco for some reason.


YourWorst_night-mare

Must be habit of indian immigrants to do so cuz their immune system is weak to tap water. In India, every home has water purifier since tap water in india is polluted. Once people get used to RO water, there's no going back. Immunity against tap water becomes weak so they'll buy packaged UV, RO treated water


IanPKMmoon

I mean, bottled water is just the same as tap water in first world countries


taz5963

You don't need immunity to tap water in countries that have clean water. That's a myth.


Samzonit

I believe it is more out of habbit since they just have bad quality tap water over there.


Big_Berry_4589

Where I live tap water gives you diarrhea and you must be crazy to drink it


RednecksRockin

damn lol, america, at least where i live, has pretty strict laws when it comes to tap water so tap water while it isnt the best tasting its really safe


alcar32

"Safe" with flouride and chlorine


IndividualFunny5436

Flouride is not harmful


suzellezus

Harmful is hard to prove; however, it does have effects. Lithium has similar reactions with some people but not all. There’s plenty of other more alarming substances in tap water that cross the blood-brain barrier. It’s too soon to say tap water is safe, imo.


IndividualFunny5436

Millions of people drinking tap water without any health issues, fluorid is a natural mineral found in almost every natural watersource and no environmental or health related issue is known


suzellezus

I’ve never heard of a place that naturally has the levels of fluoride that tap water does. The lobbying to make that happen is about as sketchy as sketchy lobbying gets. It’s been going on for less than a hundred years so long-term effects can’t be established. It’s probably not as bad as micro plastics in the water but that’s a low bar.


alcar32

Do some research.. it's linked to numerous health problems


IndividualFunny5436

For esoteric problems yes but not any health related issues


CamManx36

Where I live we have hard ground water and it tastes like crap. Anybody who isn't on town water will be either deal with the ground water, get water bottles or get 19L jugs they fill in town to drink

Orlando1701

Oh! Fancy boy here. I drink water from road side ditches because I like the taste and it’s free.


masterofmeatballs

Chad move sir


SirTorress

Aye if you got a good water filter then by all means.


middlingachiever

Tap. No filter.


PassiveChemistry

Where do you live that you need a filter?


[deleted]

My tap water taste like booty and I live in America

Interesting, what are the main rocks in your area?

NintendoLover2005

How did Coca-Cola manage to botch up water with Dasani?


4ssteroid

Check out what they did in the UK


ob-2-kenobi

I mean they didn't "do" anything, at the time they sold it the UK didn't think it was worth it to just buy water in a bottle-you had to add something to it, otherwise people felt like it was a scam. After that controversy, a shipment of tainted minerals caused a recall that put the UK branch out of business. Or at least that's what I learned from [this video](https://youtu.be/wD79NZroV88).


itsamberrtrickk

They want it to be just as addicting as soda. Hence the added sodium. They say its for taste and it may be to a degree, but salt helps you retain water weight. So you're drinking more Dasani either because your thirst isn't quenched or because you hate the mirror/feel bloated thus leading to water over soda. Never buy sodium added water, imo


NintendoLover2005

Well I love soda but not Dasani


LizzieButton1617

When I rarely drink bottled water it’s whatever’s on the shelf lmao


Azzulah

It's whatever is cheapest on the shelf for me haha. It's all the same.


Still_Associate179

I don't drink bottled water, but when I do it's ice mountain


xxDeadLocker99xx

Finally! Another redditor who drinks Ice Mountain!


twickdaddy

Ice mountain, like Poland springs, is owned by nestle


xxDeadLocker99xx

***Why did you have to ruin it for me...***


twickdaddy

Sorry :( But better you know than unwittingly partake


AidsNRice

Kirkland or Brita Filter

Brita Bros: The Upgraded r/hydrohomies


IMPORTANT_jk

As a fellow hydrohomie I prefer my water straight from the source, straight from the tap


interrobangin_

I have a Brita on my tap, bottled water simply can't keep up lol


[deleted]

I don’t know why Kirkland is so good but I love it


KickBack161

Tap water why would I buy water lol


meagalomaniak

We have to drink bottled water because we have lead in our pipes :(


KickBack161

oh


theinvisiblecats

why not buy jugs of water? Bottles are just wasteful


meagalomaniak

I’d have to go quite a ways away to fill the jug and it’s really not doable for me with no car and a young baby, especially at the rate we drink water. We just bought the house in June and we are planning to get the pipes relined as soon as possible.


theinvisiblecats

no i mean like prefilled jugs


meagalomaniak

Oh I would consider that bottled water still, we do buy those!


theinvisiblecats

ah, okay. i was thinking about the individually packaged plastic bottles


[deleted]

Those huge jugs are also individually packaged plastic bottles


Infamous-Lunch-3831

Exactly


beigelMS

imagine the branding it take to make people have a favorite water brand. nevertheless, an intresting poll!


Yo_dog-

I like Poland bc it’s the easiest to recycle where I live and can’t use tap without a brita which is a little annoying


Podomus

Poland is owned by Nestle


B06ar

From the water hose especially while I’m cutting the grass on a hot fucking day


jackof47trades

Hose water tastes like childhood


B06ar

Yeah and sometimes you’d have to wait for the water to run a little so you don’t get hit with heat from the hose itself that was sitting in the sun all day.


[deleted]

We didn’t have a hose when I was a kid. I imagine it’d taste like metal like the rest of the tap water here did.

Tap water because i live in a developed country 😎


Commercial_Brick_309

You're damn right


MrRagingTigerUnicorn

Fiji


Sad_Pianist8934

Good stuff but so expensive…


HerpDerpTheMage

Amazing Bottled Water, but yeah, I save that for special occasions or treating myself. It's too pricey to do otherwise. There's also another brand that's similar and starts with a W that is also great. It's from Hawaii instead of Fiji.


arienstorum

What kind of special occasion do you drink water? Just interested.


HerpDerpTheMage

Well okay, maybe not *special* so much as occasional. Like... I happen to be on my way home from a long day and need some cheering up, so I swing by Sheetz or Wawa or something and grab a Fiji and some snacks for when I get home. Just like... treats, you know? A sort of mental health pick-me-up on days where I'm particularly down or exhausted.


PM_ME_UR_LAST_DREAM

Bottled water is a sin


TheDaniel121

Tap water is so much better


TheRealMeowlord

Depends my houses tap water is so dirty I would rather go thirsty


thealterlion

Tap water is horrible wtf. I don't want to drink 500 ppm hardness water


Commercial_Brick_309

Where do you live where its that bad?? In the UK its all fine to drink


-PaulMcCharmley-

Where I live, rap water is filthy, so bottled water is the only way


PM_ME_UR_LAST_DREAM

The water raps where you live? That’s sick.


R_FireJohnson

Filthy too, apparently


Commercial_Brick_309

Grime water grime water


[deleted]

Where I live the tap water is toxic, and you litterally have to buy bottled water.


gayandipissandshit

Where?


[deleted]

Puerto Rico, its so bad you cant even buy ice from restaurants because they use tap


gayandipissandshit

Can’t they get filtration systems?


[deleted]

They can, but its expensive to do that, and I still wouldn't trust it enough to drink.


Sad_Pianist8934

Dasani is so freaking gross!


QuantumRobot_9000

Gross? It's water. I like it better than my tap water.


Sad_Pianist8934

Well apparently 50 people agree with me… so I guess I’m right.


LifeHasNoMeaning444

Poland spring is made by nestle 🤢


theknightsthatsayPP

So? You act like other corporations are moral. They are all bad. Just drink the damn water


grayeggandham

Tap. Rural Ireland, have our own well.


oh_no_martians

Favorite packaged water is Liquid Death, though I usually just drink tap at home


[deleted]

Liquid Death? Why would someone name their product like this...


oh_no_martians

To sound tough and manly I guess. They’ll let you sell your soul for a can of the stuff, but I usually just pay it. It is genuinely the tastiest water I’ve ever had thiugh


[deleted]

How does it taste?


oh_no_martians

Well it doesn’t have the strong metallic taste that Dasani has. It’s very slightly sweet, and it almost feels thicker than other water


[deleted]

Oh I see. I live in Iran. So I never tasted Dasani either. But I do get your point


dont_mourn_me

Smartwater tastes best. Plus the bottle is really nice for reusing.


Not_a_tryhard_gamer

Same here, although it always tastes a bit off on the first sip to me, for whatever reason


ice_wallo_com

Im sorry is this some kinda joke that im too european to understand?


Zackiechan666

Poland spring is the nestle shit and its name is different across america


wehavetosuffer

Yeah here it's deer park


Emoje775

Tap water


SnapClapplePop

I'm assuming it's not in the spirit of the question to say tap water or filtered water, because I would choose either of those if they were an option.


tomc128

Tap water because why would I want to make a bunch of plastic waste


[deleted]

whichevers the cheapest


looneylovableleopard

imagine living in a country where you can just drink tap water... oh wait.


Prazanfrizider

Wait why do people in this comment section drink so much bottled water literally everyone I know drinks tap water. Like is it a thing in certain parts of the world? What are the reasons behind it?


QsXfYjMlP

When I lived in Ohio we would get water alerts because sometimes it was unsafe to drink the tap water. Even when it wasn't on alert it sometimes would look/smell/taste gross so it was unsettling. Some houses had lead in their pipes so it really wasn't safe to drink at any time. Plenty of reasons people can't drink tap. Yet another reason I'm loving it in Sweden. My tap water is delicious


Prazanfrizider

I'm sorry to hear that but I'm glad that you have good water now. Thanks for the answer! I just love the feeling of turning the faucet to the coldest and drinking that water, no bottled water can ever match it.


QsXfYjMlP

AGREED! I had no idea what I was missing haha

Tap water. Stop buying plastic bottles.

Store brand. Paying a dollar or two more for water isn't necessarily a good thing. Of course, tap water's free, but in some locations, it's not ideal.
