Default Water Poll.........

Not that I am a dummy or anything (?) lol, anyway, with so many types and brands of bottled water out there and all the warnings about recycled bottles and filtering and............... Anybody have a fav. or an opinion on which may be the better bottle of water? I like Poland Springs and Dansani the best,even though all water tastes the same. Kathy

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

See, i differ in that, to me not all water tastes the same. I prefer Nestles and then its Aquafina. That is until you have added Flavor packs to it. LOLOLOL I dont know what to think about all the hype on the plastic bottles though, that is about all you can get. We live in Florida and most of us have well water...YUCK!! I like my bottled water! LOLOL

Watch some of those "specialty waters" like vitmamin waters, etc. They have sugars and calories in them. Plain old water is best. 2nd best would be water with crystal lite, or tea flavorings added. Cheaper too.

I used the brita filter that attaches to the sink faucet...I only need to change it every couple of months. I just fill up my reuseable water container I got from Starbucks it's about 32 oz and I just need to get 2 of those bottles in and Im good. To me the water taste great (filtered of course).

Dasani and Aquafina are my favorites. But we bring bottled water home from the bottled water store (only $.45/gallon when purchased 100 gallons/time) and refill the water bottles with that. Cheaper on the pocketbook and on the planet. I still buy a case of the Dannon skinny bottles for the kids to take to school/practice. They don't always bring home the bottles to recycle.

Ok i suppose im a cheapie here. I have a PUR water filter on my faucet. Its the cleanest water I have ever seen and it taste so good. I have well water to. This filter is well worth the first 26 bucks you pay for the attachement and the filter. I have never did bottled water.
