Water Taste Test

I had to do this test. I've always liked the tap water in Vancouver. It tasted sweet to me. After walking home from school I'd head straight to the sink, turn on the faucet and drink right out of the tap. This was my smart way of not having to grab a cup and wash it after use.

Since moving here I've been drinking bottled water or filtered water. Sometimes it's $0.39/gallon, sometimes it's $5/bottle.



Water: it's Free or it can be $5.99/750mL

I wasn't tempted enough to try the $5.99 water from Mount Expensive but I chose the ones below.

The test: Not your scientific double blind study of course. The best I could do was use my talent of being forgetful. Labeled the bottles 1-5, labeled cups, pour and put the bottles away from sight. Norvin was the true taste tester.


Volvic- my favourite. It's hard to describe the flavour of water, as they're not supposed to have flavour. This one tasted clean.

Crystal Geiser- This one was clean tasting too but not as smooth, if that makes any sense.

Smart Water-I like this one too, couldn't tell much difference between Smart Water and Volvic

Arrowhead- this one's ok, it actually has a flavour to it.

Evian- This was nasty, maybe it's the bottle but without the taste test I never realized Evian tasted this bad.

Filtered tap water- This was CB's favourite. :)
