After an NRDC study found that 25% of bottled water is tap water with no extra frills, we couldn't resist putting grocery stores to the test and sampled 29 popular water brands.
Among all the brands we taste-tested, Pure Life was the absolute worst. While technically filtered, it definitely flagged for glorified tap water status and lacked flavor.
The bottle had an inescapable taste of plastic, hardly instilling confidence in its potential as a healthy, refreshing drink. Some even find its taste to be oddly sour and bitter.
