It still cracks me up when I read someone touting high priced water- no matter what the flavor. For less than a few cents I could make the same thing using my filtered tap water and the peppermint that grows like a weed in my...

One explanation might be, that to order sparkling (or non) water implies that regular (tap) water is inferior, thereby obviating the use of ice cubes which are made from tap water, which would contaminate the water.

fascinating... i’ve made the habit of ONLY drinking tap water at restaurants- no matter how nice it is (allergic to alcohol) or ghetto (even fast food).

Media Monthly tells all!) Latest scam: selling tap water! Pretending to respond to environmental concerns about the waste involved in bottled water (glass and plastic, shipping over long distances) some fancy joints are not...

It’s common in my part of the Florida Panhandle, and seem to show up in the water glasses at the majority of places we regularly eat at. I think it’s a combination of the tap water not tasting great, even if...

I prefer sparkling water when I’m eating. At home, I filter the tap water and carbonate it myself. When I’m out, I request sparkling water. I’m perfectly happy to pay for it, I just always want to be asked...

Jeff Varasano is a bit of a pizza obsessive, and he doesn’t buy it. Neither do I. The water is just one of hundreds of factors. That said, I wouldn’t make any kind of bread with plain tap water. Filter it, already.

Our local tap water is safe enough but has an unpleasant taste to it. We use a filter system in the house, but buy bottled spring water (bottled from locations within the state) to keep in a fridge at work or to throw in a cooler...

You’d probably be better off with a mixture of plain water and sports drink—I do a half-and-half mixture of filtered tap water and Recharge when I’m out on long runs (defined by me as anywhere from 6-12 miles)....

The tap water where we were staying in Tuscany last year was really disgusting and smelled of rotten eggs. Everyone drank bottled water. London tap water is good especially if filtered and chilled.

If you are buying water for the gorgeous packaging, I suggest you pick up a beautiful, top of the line reusable water bottle and fill it with Brita-filtered tap water. I defy you find a commercially bottled still water - at any...

I prefer Sparkletts, especially like their distilled water. Very clean and “wet” tasting if that makes sense. Years ago Arrowhead was better, but honestly their product now tastes like filtered tap water to me.

Huh. And these past few days, I thought that the funny algae smell from the hot water taps in my apartment had to do with the building’s pipes. Seems like an “episode” is more likely...

on the beach or are using well water, there’s nothing wrong with water from the tap. It’s sanitized, filtered, flouridated and just FINE. It’s WATER, for heaven’s sake, not fine wine.

Resist the urge to use hot tap water; it will tend to take additional lead off the pipes and put it in your water.
