    What!! Rip off... Dasani is basically more expensive than most spring waters and it tastes just like distilled water. I dunno if anyone already posted this but everyone I tell this (ie friends family) to doesn't really care they would just say "eh... ok."

    I heard something about that ages ago and all the dasani products got taken off the shelves. They used to sell it at my school but not no longer.

    Aquafina, Dasani? Never heard of both lol They aren't for sale here in Thailand. Although, we have Evian.. for somewhere around 50-60 baht per small bottle (33 baht = 1 dollar) while other brands are only 5-15 baht. I would only buy Evian for the pretty bottle not because I believe the water is any better.

    There is another bottled water thread, but it's about something else..

    Did they discontinue these products completely??

    i have a filter on my tap and i've gotten used to the flavor of purified water.
    so i can tell the difference between filtered and tap water.
    so if im out and there is a vending machine with bottled water next to a water fountain
    i'd rather waste a dollar for good tasting water than water that taste like pipes.

    Omg... Evian is like a universal water :lol: Everywhere I've been, it's sitting in the hotel room at astronomically high prices, basically taunting me cause some places have really shitty tasting or unsafe tap water...

    That's been known for a while now. Most bottled water is 70% most of the time and the purification process is below average. Just getting a distiller is probably better.

    I'm the bottled water master. Who cares if it just comes out of the tap, it's damn good water!
