    For me I hate Viva and Nature Spring.

    They have this somewhat salty taste. But what I hate is, most restaurants sell viva, that's why I'd opt for their "house water" instead - it's free yet it tastes better.

    You ? What brand of bottled water do you hate ?

    I dislike drinking water from the plastic bottle if possible, I prefer pouring it in a glass, I don't like the taste of plastic kasi, nalalasahan ko yun plastic

    I couldn't tell the difference with bottled water.

    Anything except tap water. I once was served tap in a restaurant, I almost spit it out.

    Could it just be the plastic i`m tasting and not the water itself ?

    I have no problems with any other water brands, except for the two of course.

    di naman ako maselan when it comes to bottled waters so parang all just tastes the same for me.

    Viva tastes like "tubig poso".

    We go for Absolute.

    Viva, Nestle and Nature Spring are Mineral Waters kaya lasang tubig poso.

    While Absolute and Wilkins are distilled water kaya mas masarap ang lasa.

    ^True in some sense, but I found out they don't come from the mountains anymore, rather some are mineralized to make it taste like mineral water. Once went hiking in the mountains of Batad and the mineral water there is as fresh as you can get, and it's actually running through the mountains. Lucky folks up there don't even have to pay a centavo to get their drinking water.

    mineral water - minerals are retained in it

    distilled water - you only get the steam minus the minerals

    for the brand i thought wilkins is good, but my friend who brought her daughter here for a vacation had stomach problem, even with wilkins, the doctor recommended dr______ (forgot the brand), so far it is safer and better, minus the irregualr bowel movements=)

    good thing i am not choosy for the waters i drink, boiled, filtered or mineral as long as it is potable i am good with it=)

    Used to hate the taste of Absolute... something to do with their bottling process. Now it's much, much better.

    Never had any issues with Summit.

    Liked Viva before. Haven't really noticed anything about the current taste.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Viva and Nature whatever-that-is, also the bottled water sa SM food court.

    I also prefer Wilkins and Absolute.

Disliked bottled water brands.
