Glacéau Smartwater


Aroma : None. Clean, fresh water doesn’t really have a smell.

Taste : Crisp, fresh water, with NO aftertaste. Many other bottled waters do, this comes from various things, often the bottle itself, or the lack of distillation.

Price : $1.29 for 20 oz bottle at gas station, can easily be found cheaper at grocers. Comes in 750ml, 1.5 ltr., & 20 oz.

Ingredients : vapor distilled water + electrolytes (calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and potassium bicarbonate)

Other Comments : Glacéau is yet another company that has been swiped up by the CocaCola company on May 25, 2007 in the global table-grab for independent companies. This acquisition was even referenced by rapper 50 Cent. (Thanks Wikipedia!) Also, there’s a cute goldfish on the inside of the label that you can see if you turn the bottle around, looking like it’s swimming inside.

Overall : This is the only consistently good bottled water I have ever drank, Fiji being a close second. The lack of an odd aftertaste has earned this bottled water a place in my mouth, and my refrigerator; but after all, it's still just water in a bottle.

Rating : 4.5/5 stars.

Smart Water is by far the only bottled water one should drink.

I just drink scummy pond water, or occasionally Talking Rain...
