Bump!!!!!!

Perhaps I should read through 55 pages of Fiji water based posts to see exactly why all the bumps? Meh, I can't bring myself to do it. That being said Fiji water tastes like sewage. After hearing how "good" it was I decided to buy a three dollar bottle. One swig and it was dumped. Our tap water tastes better.

We bump it for those we cannot speak about. And it may taste like crap to you but It sure is a lot better to drink than what the government puts in our water.

FIJI Water is water from an artesian aquifer, bottled at the source in Fiji. By definition, artesian water comes from a natural chamber called an aquifer found deep within the earth, protected by layers of clay and rock. There is no opening, not even a porthole to the surface. As a result, the water never comes into contact with the air, protecting it from environmental pollutants and other contamination. Of the top ten bottled waters sold in the United States, FIJI Water is the only water originating from an artesian source.

It gives me a stomach ache.

Im so thirsty.

I'm jealous of this thread.

The vote flipping thread has only 36,000 views or so.

I refuse to drink Fiji water, just for that.

TheOne...still so very banned.

Holy shit this thread has gotten 46,000 views and it was started in 2008. Lol, we're like the American public, diverging into completely irrelevant topics hahaha

Well, the creator got banned for "low-value posting", so efforts are being made to focus on more relevant things.

 

[Kluge]

No consideration to unban TheOne?

Did he really offend anyone here?

Good stuff! I knew some, but not all of that.

I did know that since Fukishima radiation is raining down all over the northern hemisphere, I was looking for water sourced in the lower half of the planet! Add to that, the fact that it is protected from radioactive fallout, being an underground source, seems to me a no-brainer.

Many bottled waters are not from springs as one might assume, but are filtered municipal water sources (often reservoirs.) Many, if not all of these, are subject to radioactive fallout. Brands such as Aquafina or Dasani (Pepsi and Coke owned respectively) and most of Nestle's offerings, all qualify. If it is packaged as "purified" or "drinking water," chances are it came from a municipal water supply. (recommended reading: http://www.ewg.org/reports/BottledWater/Bottled-Water-Quality-Investigation )

Most people don't realize that even before the Fukishima disaster (still ongoing- generally getting worse each passing month) the northern hemisphere had more than twice the background radiation of the southern hemisphere. This presumed due to Chernoble (20 years ago) and Fukishima was eventually disclosed as hundreds of times a bigger radiation disaster than Chernoble.

Of course you'd never know it in the US where we are in a complete media blackout concerning this event. Our media is disgusting. In Europe the public was warned away from green leafy veggies, dairy, and open standing water (such as open reservoirs) as potable water sources. Where were OUR warnings where the fallout is estimated at twice as severe as Europe's?

BTW, I think it's hilarious that this thread is this long, but I am not going to read it all, so I apologize if these points have been brought up already!

So I finally broke down and tried Fiji water, despite my constant (jokingly) berating of my ex-girlfriend for being an elitist, too good for normal spring/purified water.

At first taste, it reminded me alot of some natural springs I've gotten water from, where it almost tastes thick because of being chocked full of minerals... But taste-wise I didn't think it was close to as good as those natural springs, or even some bottled spring waters. It tastes very earthy, which isn't exactly what I look for in a water.

In conclusion, probably better for you than many waters, but probably not worth what you have to pay to drink it on a regular basis for your daily water intake.

I don't drink it regularly, but I like the taste as I grew up drinking well water. It isn't "earthy" for me, it tastes like water I used to drink when I was younger and I still enjoy the taste over bottled water.

Just thought it was time to bump the fiji water thread.

The other day I read this article about how Fiji water is about the only one allowed by the military govt to use that aquifer while Fijians are reduced to dysentary through being forced to polluted water sources....I wonder if enough people will stop drinking it to make the price go down? Because I think the price is the main reason it is popular.

At least, I like crystal geyser better.

But, honestly, Ron eats McDonalds when he's on the road. I expect he drinks whatever water they give him....

Next you'll be telling me Ron shops at wallmart. Don't tell me this for I would loose respect for the man. JK

Get your own source, reverse osmosis water purifier.

First time Ive looked at this thread. I like tap water ok for drinking and feel silly buying water just because its not from the tap. I guess Fiji water has more H20 molecules than tap water does.

bottled water is more portable.
