Too much Evian water! :lol:

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE

Is that the price in New Zealand?? Price of Evian water is similar to that of other popular brands such as Aquafina, Dasani, Fiji, Poland Springs etc.. I dont think paying 1.49 for 1.5L of water is any worse than paying 1.29 for a 20oz bottle of coke. At least you wont gain any weight from Drinking this expensive tasteless(tap water you can taste, most other brands you cant) water.

Wow, that's extremely pricey. What's the price of other top brands?? When I am at home I drink the water from the refrigerator (it has a decent purification system). When I am at work, I drink which ever one is on sale that week. I tend to buy Poland Springs (24pk) more often when it goes on sale for 3.99-4.99. I also buy Crystal Lake which is the store brand for my company. The one that I prefer least is Dasani, for some reason it tastes like it contains 0.5% dissolved plastic in it. My all time favorite is Dannon water. Main reason, I tend to leave my water in the car very often. If I drink the other brands after they go through the temperature changes few time, they taste really bad were as Dannon still tastes normal.

NZ has many of its own brands of bottled water. These are some of them:

420
Antipodes
Brightwater Ridge
Cool Blue
Eternal Water
SOH2O
Virgin Kiwi
Waimak
