Fucking hilarious but very true. I have a pretty nice water filtration system at my house and people still ask me for bottled water. I usually call them an asshole. After watching this, they are assholes.

For me it is about the taste not pollutants. I always have a 2.5 gallon dispenser of Poland Springs bottled water on hand in my house even though I live in Massachusetts which has probably the best tap drinking water in the world.

Try the tap water in Las Vegas and tell me it is drinkable.

Thank you for the link. I figured bottled water was a scam. I only usually get it while outside because of the ease of finding it. I wouldn't exactly encourage anyone to find tap water from a public in beaches, parks, etc...

The only reason for that is the idiots who like to purposely dirty the area for shits & giggles.

The PLASITC from the bottles in all liklihood is releasing pollutants and poisons into the water.

Your best bet for quality water is a REVERSE OSMOSIS machine in your house...........and use ONLY glass material to drink from.

Second best in my opinion is using some type of glass container or whatever works best and getting water from one of those 30 cent machines.

For those that are buying bottled drinking water.

Do not buy "purified" water for its purified via poisons, so why buy that?

Should instead buy natural spring water or use certain types of home filtration systems.

The common types of purified water such as Dasani are garbage.

Straight tap water is better than Dasani.

NYC tap water is still the best I have ever tasted. Use bottled water, living in the mountains of CR, why take the chance. And Wil is right.Tap water down here ain't that great.

Being near Great Lakes the tapwater here is ok.

I probably drink 75% natural spring water, but I will go without before I drink Dasani or other purified bottled water.

Agree with Wilheim, if I lived in Las Vegas I wouldnt regularly drink tapwater.

For the New York City taste test, they did not say what bottled water they gave. Some bottled waters do taste better than tap.

I question how much difference a legitimate bottle water should have over tap. I don't believe the waters are as pure as tap. Water really shouldn't vary in taste that much.

As Wil stated, try LAS VEGAS tap water then.

Also, water in Iowa sucks in most small towns.

Humboldt, Iowa has great tap water............they actually bottle it and sell it as Humboldt tap water to other places.

Sure I don't condone buying samll bottles of so called purified water every day but why quibble over a few bucks a week and not have a water fountain in your home. Culligan, or whatever other (Poland Springs) brand of delivered water beats tap water all day long. You guys are gamblers - live a little.

Do the same taste test with Wine and you will get all these assholes saying they know wine and talk about all of this bullshit about wines and i tasted this special wine and so on and so on and i guarantee you they will choose the cheap wine 60 % of the time there are so many suckers out there and just because some have money they think they know everything

Oh Yeah - where The Judge lives - up in the hills outside of San Jose (near Atenas - past SantaAna) is probably one of the best year round climates in the entire world..


I am seriously thinking of moving there.

Maybe something is wrong with how it is filtered. This still doesn't change the fact of how different can the taste naturally be from bottle to tap.

Trust me on this, I lived in Las Vegas for twelve years and you need bottled water in your home. The water comes from Lake Mead and is putrid to say the least.
