At home, I just drink tap water that’s been run through a PUR filter pitcher and refrigerated. When I go out, I usually try to fill and take my stainless steel insulated water bottle. For venues that only allow empty bottles to be filled on-premises, I use my Water Bobble that has a built-in filter, but the pop cap is annoying AF, TBH.
If I absolutely have to buy bottled water, I would have to be dying of thirst to touch Dasani or Arrowhead. Dasani tastes salty to me, and Arrowhead is like…dirt with extra minerals added. I’ve been to supermarkets in Florida during hurricanes and seen the entire water aisles cleared out, except for dozens of cases of Dasani; it’s that fucking terrible!
I feel like sparkling water talk is a whole different animal, but I will say I prefer the unsweetened kind. If I’m drinking sparkling water at all, it’s because I want something fizzy that won’t spike my blood sugar. Fake sugar is poisonous, so no sweetener is the way to go. I like Crystal Geyser berry, but La Croix has a few good flavors and some spectacularly bad flavors that taste the way the paper label wrapped around a crayon smells.
