catherinelaky Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Can I drink purified water like Dasani? I'm usually a bottle water kind of person and have never liked tap water. Thanks, Catherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuilterInVA Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Plain bottled water is okay but it does polute the environment to make the bottles and then there is the disposal program. Buy a filtered pitcher or water bottle and save a ton of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcbn Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Funnily enough Dasani was pulled from the shelves within 5 weeks of it's introduction to the UK because the purification process wasn't all it was cracked up to be.... The British were a bit miffed about having to effectively pay for 'tap water' in a bottle. There was also some questioning of the need for the magnesium sulphate & potassium chloride, listed as ingredients, both of which could be toxic when ingested in large quantities.Personally I'd go for plain old water over anything that has additives for additives sake (or possibly for the sake of leaving you feeling thirtsy & therefore wanting more of that wonderful purified water you just paid over the odds for....)Just saying!

Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 3, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2016 Ha, yes, Dasani will admit outright if you call them that their "source" is municipal water supply. If you quiz them further, they'll ultimately tell you that it's tap water; they have to tell you that because that's what it is. And this isn't just word of mouth, I actually called them a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I like my water *cold*, so I keep a pitcher of tap water in the fridge. Tastes like bottled when it's super cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitneyL Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 What are you adding to your water for flavor? I am already sick of just water. I tried Green Tea over ice with lemon but didn't like it unsweetened. It is going to be a very long month without some more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2016 We bought a SodaStream machine and it's just wonderful. Fizzy water in a wine glass with a squeeze of lime or lemon or both feels fancy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally love coconut & mint in my water, both tap and seltzer. I keep a cucumber and package of mint in the fridge (or a mint plant during the summer) and pop a little in my big water tumbler each morning. It's subtle and really refreshing. Lime/lemon is also an easy go to. During the summer I use fresh berries, grapes, whatever fresh fruit I have on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
