Does expensive water REALLY taste better, Loyal Theorist? Water is just water after all. Yet somehow Fuji, Voss, Evian, and others have convinced us that their water is superior to those such as Deer Park, Dasani, and store brand water. Is it the natural spring or electrolytes that are supposed to give it a more distinct taste? Or is this all just a bunch of BUNK? Today, we expose the truth with this blind water taste test.

Any water that will be transported in pipes has to be cleaned. However, where I’m from (Northern Norway) you can drink most of the water running down mountains without even thinking about it. Generally, the water is naturally purified as it’s running down the mountain, and the sources are too high for animals to contaminate - kinda cool! We re-stock on water from small streams whenever we go hiking!

And let me tell ya, good high quality water like that is tasteless. It was absolute perfection. And it was also *extremely* freezing cold. It was so pure way up there since it was at the very start of the river coming out from inside the mountain that we didn't even need the filter to drink straight from the river that time. Just took a cup and dipped it in really. Was painfully cold for our fingers tho! 😅 That's why I like Fiji. Tho I guess I should also try Evian now too then.

This reminds me of when I tested tap water, reverse osmosis water, hose water, fridge water, and rain water, just to find out what the differences are. Long story short, rain water was the most pure (but “only because the RO filter puts minerals back in,” I’m told), and, maybe a bit shockingly and concerningly, fridge water was the least pure. That’s right. The water out of my Whirlpool fridge is less clean than the water out of my garden hose

All has to do with micro plastics, and heat exposure!

@@sparklefulpaladin Aha you can taste the water difference within a 20 minute drive where I am. The source water for the two cities are two different locations. Both are from above ground reservoirs, but one goes through a longer treatment than the other and one city uses the water more so there is higher turn over from what is made and what is used and you can taste it. Funny enough despite having less treatment that city's water does not taste great an no one likes it. The people in the city I live in, think our water comes from some beautiful underground spring and it actually from a man made lake that has a heavily monitored water shed, and goes through a long treatment cycle. The same city also has a backup system where extra treated water goes to get stored, and when we are flowing out of that one, it tastes and smells different. And you can catch it in the morning when water usage is the highest. People say its tastes stale and..it is, its stored water, its UV treated once more and treated with chlorine before it goes out but because its been sitting longer out from the initial aeration process, it tastes stale. Oxygenated water makes it tastes cwisp!

Could the composition of the plastic also have an effect on the taste? Like how in your Coke experiment, the can, the bottle, and the tap/fountain all had distinct flavors.

@HumbleWooper 10 ай бұрын

It absolutely can. I bought a bottle of Fiji water from a local gas station a few months back... it tasted much worse than usual, and vaguely like convenience store air. Anything stored in plastic tends to slowly absorb ambient flavors/scents. That won't make a noticeable difference in most single-serve bottled drinks because they have a bunch of flavor of their own, but for subtle things like water it can be massive. Especially in products with a low turnover rate, that can sit on the shelf for weeks instead of rotating through every few days.

So Alaskans living in Anchorage effectively get the same water from their tap that CLEAR ALASKA GLACIER WATER bottles up. Tap water put into a bottle automatically makes it a premium 🤣

@ralphb7401 10 ай бұрын

Reverse osmosis filtering is actually quite common for a lot of bottled waters, beers, softdrinks and what not. It gives the customer a guarantee that no bad stuff can enter their drinks and that they might get sick by drinking this bad stuff. (RO filtering is filtering nearly everything out of the water leaving you with pure water) All the waters get their flavor from calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium and other salts. These salts are in the water at very low volume, to low to reach your daily dosis, yet they do give flavor. In the Netherlands at the back of each bottle is even its mineral content written down. Factories do know how to make awesome tasting artificial water, and are most likely doing that. Yet, to get your fancy way way to expensive water to sale, you need some less well tasting water at a lower price point. For example adding just a bit more iron will make your bottled water a bit more bitter. So why would Coca-Cola make their water taste less desirable? Well, the fancy consumers most likely won’t ever connect Coca-Cola to fancy expensive tasting water, therefor under their own name they launch a bit less flavorful water. This to only launch under a completely other name a very expensive tasting water, most likely one with a very huge marketing budget. This is where they will earn their profits while sealing off the bottom of the market with their own brand. But hey, that’s just my theory, a chemist theory 🤓

FYI Gerolsteiner sparkling mineral water is the best and is actually worth it because it has the most minerals out of all the brands on the market. Germany just does mineral water the best. All the German mineral water brands are amazing. They taste even better in glass bottles. Nothing else compares. Also they don't have natural flavors in it like the brand Topo Chico Sparkling Mineral Water. it is just quality water with really strong carbonation, and a plethora of minerals put together in a scientific way that is just satisfying. At first you will think the minerals are just too much, but then you will get addicted to it. It reduces food cravings, and gets minerals in your body that you are probably not getting enough in your diet like magnesium.

I'm actually pretty sensitive to water, bad water gives me a visceral reaction. Me and my family did a bunch of experiments to try to figure out the best water. We discovered some interesting things along the way though, for example, the taste of water varies drastically from person to person, with many people simply not being able to taste the difference at all. Container also seems to have a pretty huge impact on the flavor, as cheaper plastic containers seem to leach something into the water, well, tougher plastic, like the plastic used in Fiji bottles, or just plain old glass, seems to be a lot better at preserving the original flavor. And temperature certainly has an impact, just like the guy himself said, the colder water is the more powerful it is regardless of where it actually came from.

@axolirvin971 10 ай бұрын

Absolutely agree about plastic bottles having a strong affect on the taste. My theory was always that plastic bottles that were kept for a while, especially if it got hot, would start breaking down enough to leach into the water. Thicker plastic bottles, like Fiji, do better, but can still have the same issue (though never as strong).

It never occurred to me that other people would never drink water from outside streams or that their tap water tastes gross.

Though, I'm also for well water over city water, only because it's free from an underground spring on your own property. The only charges are the well itself, and the equipment installed to pump it to your house. You just have to have the company run maintenance on it maybe every 10 years or so. You just have to make sure no dead animals don't get into the source, and don't use any chemicals around it as well. 😕

One that stuck with me is when a volcano erupted it caused the river water of a Tribal people to start building up with arsenic and other chemical products. Killing off groups of Tribal people but after a while the survivers built up a resistance to heavy metals and other things now in their only source of water. After awhile they moved which was their downfall because from what could be pieced together without the heavy metal laced water their body had withdrawal and ended up killing them.

Watching this video while sipping on my filtered tap water. Yeah... I'm never going to pay the prices for bottled water. This is just outlandish.

As a Swedish person who grew up on different versions of tap water yes. You can taste the difference between different waters in different cities. They even had a competition on which tap water tastes the best.
