Ok, well I seen a commercial for this new Aquafina Sparkle. Seems to be water with a flavor but claims to be just like plain water so I'm getting the full benefits of just drinking plain water. What are you guys thoughts on this. Do you think this is a rip-off or what?

It depends on if you like water. For someone like me, it's good. I don't like plain water, it has to have some flavor. But if you drink water on the regular anyway, you probably won't care.
The Aquafina one is nasty, not enough flavor...more like an 'essence'. If you want good flavored water, try Dasani.
How can water in a bottle NOT be a rip off.. It's water. In a bottle.

Cuz, then you get containers to refill and cold water stored in the fridge isnt the same as drinkin it out the tap. I prefer 2 day old tap water to the shit that comes in the bottles when I buy em. I can always tell. This post makes me feel like Bobby Bouche.

I can give you a list of what can be found in the tap water in the Dallas County area. I guarantee that over half of the chemicals listed, you can't even pronounce.
I'll pay the 5 bux and buy the bottled water.

I'm the weird guy who orders a supersized combo and for my drink i get a water.
You would not believe how many times i have to explain that, yes i infact know its going to be the same price.

I hate when they ask that like Im some kinda broke mufuka trying to save a buck by ordering water. No, unlike you I dont want to drink 78 grams of sugar with my 2000 calorie burger and 1000 fat gram fries. Fast food is some deadly shit though. They do that on purpose to kill off the potheads.

You know where most of that "bottled water" comes from?? Some other big city with water just as shitty as the stuff that comes outta your tap. :thumbsup: Research it.

Do you guys in America get Volvic water? Comes from volcanoes, fills you with volcanicity. They have flavoured ones aswell, strawberry, peach, lemon + lime and some exotic fruit one too. At 95p for a 1.5L bottle, its a bargain.

I have a liking for Gerostiener sparkling mineral water... there are a few brands that are naturally sparkling"fizz"... all others are ingected with Co2 to give fizz like the auquafina... Perrier is from a natural source,but contains trace amounts of arsnic as does Poland Springs...
it is on the label somewhere that it has Co2,but a sure way to test is if the sparkle lasts... if you get a bottle of Co2'ed and open then close it will go flat fast as where natural sparkle last for days...

Orange.
Stick to pure water. There is no substitute for this need by the body.
All these chemical additives that food manufacturers are adding to water only put more of a burden on your kidneys and liver to remove those substances.
Pure water, non cholorinated, non flouridated, no added taste enhancers.
This is what every cell in the body needs to function properly, maintain joint lubrication, flush toxins out of the kidneys etc.
Once again you look at your own urine to gauge your dehydration status.
Dark yellow means dehydrated. Not a good state to be in for multiple reasons.
A very light yellow is what you want.
Follow the standard 6-8 glasses of pure untainted water each day.
Later.

Anyone here have a link to the Aquafina drinking song? lol just wondering
Anyways, the only flavored bottled water that I think is good is Propel. And to answer your question, flavored water is pretty much like regular water...it's more intended for athletes though because of the added electrolytes in it. I don't know if this applies to Aquafina or Dasani, but I imagine it would since using sugars and whatnot would make it less healthy. Then again, it IS from a big corporation...we may never know what's really in it. lol. Either way, if you don't like the taste of water, it definitely would be a considerable alternative.
ok, enough typing for me...I'm way too stoned...

the aquafina flavored water is pretty good. i don't drink water for leisure unless it has flavor.
You know the water labeled Evian? What's Evian spelled backwards? Naive!!
What's the definition of Niave?
1. Lacking worldly experience and understanding, especially:
1. Simple and guileless; artless: a child with a naive charm.
2. Unsuspecting or credulous: ??Students, often bright but naive, betand losesubstantial sums of money on sporting events? (Tim Layden).
2. Showing or characterized by a lack of sophistication and critical judgment: ??this extravagance of metaphors, with its naive bombast? (H.L. Mencken).
3.
1. Not previously subjected to experiments: testing naive mice.
2. Not having previously taken or received a particular drug: persons naive to marijuana.

Watch Penn and Teller bullshit Feng Shui and bottled water.
Bottled water is just a big scam, they gave random people on the street a glass of new york tap water and a glass of a top-label bottled water.
Every single person preffered New York tap water to the bottled shit saying it tasted much better.
33% of bottled water in america contains trace amounts of arsenic and other poisonous substances not enough to harm but definitely should not be in a humans water supply.
All the exotic names for the bottled water like "Everest" makes you think your water's coming from the streaming waters of the biggest mountain in the world in nepal when it actually comes from an building in california.
They found that in fact the bottled water if anything was found to be less clean than tap water and definitely doesn't taste as good, bottled water is a scam to get people to pay 1000% what they'd pay for their water just to recieve it in a bottle with a shitty tag about how its from nice beautiful clear water stream when its from a sub-standard water-filtration place that isn't even as good as the tap water.

I watched that episode (I watched them all actually)
I think bottled water is a waste of hard earned money
I'd take the tap, doesn't bother me one bit
Water is water to me
