Does anyone else think Aquafina bottled water has a funny taste or is it just me?

Asked by AshlynM (10684points) March 26th, 2013

I don’t drink a lot of bottled water to start with so maybe it’s just me. But compared to my filtered water at home, Aquafina has this odd taste I can’t quite describe.

It tastes like plastic to me.

It has a hint of plastic and whatever they use to treat the water. Aquafina is tap water.

I can’t stand Aquafina. It really is one of the worst bottled waters I’ve ever tasted. I’m a Deer Park girl, all the way.

Aquafina is the only one I don’t think tastes funny aside from Smart Water, which is too damn expensive. Dasani will do in a pinch, but Deer Park tastes like oil and makes me gag and filtered tap out of my sink is even worse.

Shoot, I just realized that it’s actually Dasani that I can’t stand.

I think it tastes like plastic. D:
I’m not sure of Evian is sold everywhere else? But it tastes like dirt, and Evian is naive backwards….

Don’t know about AquaFina, but this Pure Life brand I sometimes have…it has a strange, subtle sweet taste in it. I don’t like it. It’s like the raw essence of sweet, sweet without being good.

I used to hate aquafina… then I got used it, which I found concerning. Now I just drink from the tap, pollution and all.

Aquafina is river water from Detroit. How is that for laughs?!

I used to work with retailers who supplied the bottled water for my employer.
Sometimes the water tasted stale and I asked the representative about that.
.he told me that water has an expiry date too.

Also about a year ago , there was a News story that broke saying that Bottled Water Companies, and I am not sure of their company names or who was involved, but investigators discovered that ‘their bottled water” was just ordinary tap water!
But inall fairness ,I believe that these companies were shut down and fined etc

I don’t drink Dasani anymore since I found out there is a tad of salt in it. I would stay with another spring water brand name over Dasani any day…

Aquafina tastes like crap. It tastes like it’s expired. Used to be one of my favorite waters.
