The best-tasting water: Dannon

Methodology:

Four types of water were tested. Two were premium bottled water, with distilled and tap water. I wanted to see if it was really worth it to buy bottled water versus the tap water that we get here. This was done in two stages; Teresa and I tested it at home with the help of Kevin Miller, I then tested it the next day with friends from work.

I was genuinely surprised at the difference in how water tastes. I really did not like the taste of distilled water at all. Evian definitely had a "mineral" taste, and many preferred the "cleaner" taste of Dannon. We joked that Kevin has expensive taste in water, since he's the only one who liked Evian, which is by far the most expensive. One factor that could have affected the test was that the Evian bottle I tested at work was not quite as cold as the other waters.
