Question:

Is there any difference in brands of bottled water. It's just water, right?

Aquafina, Dannon, Aquavista, Nestle, store brands, Dasani...what's the difference?


Answers:
Most of the answers above explain the detailed part... I am an AQUAFINA person, myself. I don't know what it is, but I like that brand better than any of the others...

By the way - does anyone remember EVIAN water??? It was one of the first bottled waters on the market.

*Notice EVIAN is NAIVE spelled backwards? I don't think that is a coinsidence!

No difference

Yes, there is a difference... Some brands, such as Dannon have added fluoride in their water (only one kind)... and Aquafina/Dasani are pressure sealed like a soda, (which makes the taste a little different) but as for Nestle, Deer Park and Poland Springs... its just the fact of what spring they get the water from.

Most are overpriced to start with.
But instead of brands, look at the label and find out what kind of water it is.
Natural spring.
Filtered.
Distilled. Upon doing a little more research you will probably find that your local tap water is the best available and by far the cheapest.

i think that it depends where the companys get the water from. and sometimes they add chemicals and other things

some companies enhance the water by adding vitamins and fluoride. they also get their water from different sources.

Well some brands add fluoride. Also, some brands are spring water, versus purified water and that makes a difference too. I think the variations are very subtle, but do exist.

they are all made differently. i can tell the difference between waters. some are purified, some are distilled, and some are spring. dasani is purified, and so is aquafina, but you can really taste the chlorine in the dasani water but in aquafina it has a better taste, i really cant stand drinking dasani, because it taste like drinking from a swimming pool.
