It will depend on your tap water.

  It also depends on the bottled water. Different brands have different mineral content, and sometimes other things that can affect taste. Furthermore, I think the packaging may affect it sometimes. At least that is my guess after buying a case of small bottles of one particular brand to see if they would be more convenient than filling my own bottles with filtered tap water, and finding that the damn things had a strong flavor that is what I imagine you would get if you ate an ear of corn on the cob for lunch at a picnic on a hot day, and then left the cob sitting out on the table for a few hours until it gets to that state where it has that "it was once part of food, but now it is garbage" smell, and then stuck it in your water and let it sit there for a few more hours, pulled it out, and then drank the water. Since I cannot believe that they intended this flavor, I'm assuming it is something that leached out of the cheap plastic they used for the bottles.
