That's okay BUT did you know that the minerals in Dasani can cause deposits in the kidneys therefore leading to very PAINFUL kidney stones later on? Minerals such as calcium cause kidney stones and since Aquafina is purified and "free" of these minerals, it is the safer, less painful choice. Tap water is also free of these minerals. If you don't believe me then google "does bottled water cause kidney stones." By the way, I believe that heartburn crap is BS and could be something that you ate... Conclusion: Aquafina is the safer water. Okay people drink Dasani only because of the flavor from what I’ve been reading.

I know water is not "supposed" to have a "flavor", but it does have a "taste", or leaves an "aftertaste" in your mouth. I can drink the water from my grandparent's tap (very cold with ice) and it be good. My sister's water was no good before her pipes got all icky. The water at Ft Campbell , unless flavored with koolaid or tea or coffee, is just undrinkable. Therefore, we make the choice to buy bottled water. We buy aquafina b/c of the size of the bottles and b/c Nestle makes me want to throw up, Dasani gives me heartburn, and I have a hard time paying much more than $6.00 for a case of water.

Buy Eska, it's not expensive and it taste 1386486583468 times better than Dasani and Aquafina wich is the same water you get home. So why pay for something you would get for free when you could buy good pure water? Both taste like crap.

Or water can have a sense instead.. like soft, or hard because of the mineral content levels / mixtures.. we did a water tasting test one time...and well..the results came like this. I liked aquifina and volvic the best. Following fiji and poland springs. Filtered water came in last(brita or somewthing) I could tell it was filtered tap for some reason.. hm If aquifina does come from a tap it no longer taste anything like it after the purifying state. nothing wrong here, bye, Aquafina does “taste” pretty good. if things exist inside IE sodium, silica other minerals then maybe we can call it taste.

I figured, its water- whatever. Well, it turned out to be the most hideous water I've ever drank. I have such a negative impression of it I cringe when I see it in all the display cases. Its just *nasty*- Poland Spring and most anything else is better tasting, period. The idea that Dasani puts frikkin SALT in the water just turns my stomach. I noticed this the first time I saw Dasani on the shelf- and noticed the added in salt in the ingredients and laughed my butt off....Now theres a good marketing strategy hehehe. I did try Fiji once and had not been aware of the major press it's been getting..and was very pleasantly surprised. It was more refreshing than any water I had ever had. Extra smooth tasting- no plastic aftertaste (maybe that pretty strange bottle does serve a purpose). Fiji is something special as far as I can taste.

Since the Dasani label looks nicer, more people like the water. The label reflects one's opinion on similar products. All judgement of the two brands simply depends on the label.
