i have a poland spring water cooler in my apartment because it's baller. hot and cold water in an instant, and i don't care what anybody says, that ish tastes way better than NYC tap water.

besides, if the turrrists decide to poison the water supply i'm in good shape.

the biggest problem i have with bottled water is how wasteful it is to use those plastic containers for it. but when you have a water cooler they get re-used by the company, so it's all good.

if anyone is wondering we get like 20 gallons / month plus the cooler for 30 bucks. i think it's an awesome deal because i don't have to brew tea or coffee anymore, either.

Agreed those dispensers are great. Fantastic to have hot or cold water instantly.

Hearing someone say the water in NY is bad is VERY surprising to me. Have you had water outside of New York? The NY water is so good one former mayor (maybe Giuliani) considered bottling it and selling it. I lived in Philly for the past year, and I could NOT drink that water without the glass being full of ice. Ended up with 2 filters, one for the faucet, and one for the pitcher.

Here on Long Island though the tap water is awesome...In NYC, most people consider it the best. I've actually yet to go to a place that has good tap water aside from the NY area. Only place was Lake Powell, in...Nevada I think. I was at Vegas, spent about a week there, and all I could get was crap water, so when I hit lake Powell, it was delicious.

It'd be interesting to know how much more a soft drinks company have to spend on filling the bottles, over whatever processes bottled water goes through.

Considering that Dasani is just leftover water from making Coke, I assume it's pretty cheap.

tap water tastes like [censored]

i really, really love the feeling of guzzling down a refreshing drink of water. it is one of my favourite things in the whole wide world. especially when it doesn't taste like [censored], like say... tapwater?

Worst tap water I've ever had is in Nevada. I stopped ordering any beverage that wasn't pre-bottled there. Fountain soda even tastes like crap because of the water.

There was one restaurant in Laughlin I went to that would give you free bottled water because the tap water sucked so bad. They could have filtered the water, but I guess they wanted the appearance of clean water.
