I know there have been threads on water before, but I got to wondering... so I created a little survey.
1. Do you buy bottled water? If yes, why?
a. our tap water is decent, but bottled tastes even better
b. our tap water is safe to drink, but it tastes terrible
c. our tap water isn't safe to drink
d. convenient to have water bottles when on the go
e. alternative to other bottled beverages (sodapop, juice, etc.)
f. to look stylish, cool, trendy
g. love the idea of water that comes from a mountain spring, glacier, Fiji, etc.
h. other (please explain)
If you usually drink tap water, why?
a. tastes perfectly fine
b. costs less
c. don't want to harm the environment with all those plastic bottles
d. don't want health problems from all those plastic bottles
e. other (please explain)
2.Do you buy the size you can carry with you, the gallon jugs, the big tanks that go on a dispenser, or some combination?
3. If your tap water tastes bad, what does it taste like?
a. chlorine
b. fish
c. algae
d. cement
e. metallic
f. chemical
g. dirty
h. other (please explain)
4. Does your tap water have a texture, like oily, slimy?
5. If you drink bottled, would you switch back to tap if it tasted good? Why or why not?
Thanks. This survey isn't for any purpose other than my own curiosity. And by the way, I drink bottled water, but I'll drink decent tap or filtered water when it's available.
