Chill them in the frig to the same temp and see if you can guess which one is your favorite bottled water by sampling all of them. You can also do this with 10 different types of bottled water in ten cups and guess what is what. I've done this study before and the results are pretty much a flop for people who think they can taste the difference.

im in agreement.... water is water is water. ANY taste that water has, comes from the minerals inside it- lots of minerals= that "taste" that everyone here mentions. They've done this with sodas too- put a blindfold on and pinch your nostrils together and try to tell the difference between sprite and coke- they'll both taste like sugared water without the ability to smell. Since water has no smell, imagine doing that same test with water..... it'd be stupid. But even WITHOUT the hinderances of the soda test, I guarantee anyone here, and I'd even bet them 20 bucks, that if we did that test you wouldn't get more than 25% of them right (if even that), just on the luck of the draw.

Answer= water is water is water. Minerals----- are what make the difference. That's why you can have one bottle of poland spring one day (and have it "taste" bad), and then the next day have it "taste" great- different mineral consistencies.
