The INSIDER Summary:
- There are a bunch of different brands of water to choose from and you're never sure which is actually the best.
- This woman tested 7 different brands and found that Voss water comes in the number 2 spot.
- Fiji takes the number one spot for tasting more crisp.
Well everyone, it's 2017 and we are STILL drinking water out of plastic bottles. No matter how many people try to persuade us to better the environment and our health, the population always gravitates towards their favorite bottled water. But the real question is: why are we so picky about which brand we drink? H2O is H2O right? For most people, the answer is no. Since there's no such thing as "water sommeliers," I conducted a blind taste test to see what people liked best.

Blah! Ice Mountain is NOT my fave, so it was not surprising that it came in last place. To taste testers, it has a very "rustic" taste, hence why the word "mountain" is in its name. If I'm craving some cold bottled water during a workout, this would definitely not be my choice.
6. Evian

Evian is naive spelled backwards, but it's also the name of a town in the French Alps that was founded waybefore people learned about spelling things backwards to create secret messages. So, if you're not an avid bottled water drinker, sipping on Evian could be seen as unsophisticated or naive. Taste testers criticized this bottled-water saying it was "too flat."

This brand is produced by PepsiCo, although it's not as sweet and sugary as their other bottled drinks, and this water has a clean and refreshing taste, due to a 7-step purification system. Taste testers said it was pure, but was not up to standards for its "perfect taste" (as stated on the bottle's label) compared to other waters.
