I think the only bottled I can kinda stomach is maybe Fiji. I haven't tried the really expensive glass bottle kind... Though I'd probably do better with anything not in can or plastic because even soda tastes shittier when it's been incubating in aluminum or plastic. You simply put coke in a glass bottle you get a totally less chemical taste. Probably a lot less bpa in your blood too. I'll often get a fountain water 32oz though and add a sugar free lemonade packet and the sourness even if it's not sweet makes me drink more of it . I'm not sure if you're supposed to drink distilled water but I tried it and it tasted the best of all the gallon waters at the store. I think it was because it was the most tasteless...

Yeah, specifically asked about aquafina because it's reverse osmosis water and should be entirely tasteless. It is, uh, not entirely ideal to drink completely decriminalized water because if you're not getting those minerals from other sources they tend to get depleted over time. Much more of an issue for, say, a post-menopausal woman than a younger person. Distilled or RO water might be your best bet. Those ZeroWater filters produce a very similar result. I dislike the taste of most not-completely-clean water, but for me it's just a dislike, I do it plenty. Might be you should just force yourself to do it and you'll get used to it after a while. If you deprive yourself of sugary flavored water for a while it will start to taste strange to be having something so sweet, but it'll take a few weeks.

I would be interested if in a double blind test anybody could tell if a carbonated drink was in glass, plastic, or aluminium I only drink out of glass (mostly) because of personal preference. It would surprise me if my personal preference had some basis in objective reality.

  Plastic is to a small extent gas permeable, also just put water in an empty plastic bottle in the sun for a bit, you can taste it.
