I find this thread really interesting. I can't believe that so many people take water this seriously. Excluding carbonated, flavored, etc waters, water should be colorless, odorless and tasteless so how can one be the best compared to other clear liquids that you can't smell or taste?

My favorite water? Anything clean and sanitary (or at least able to be filtered). I was staying at the IC in MEL recently and the water given to you (and also available in the minibar) came with some spiel about how it's only collected from a certain mountain stream when the air quality is within a certain range and a goose farts in a certain direction or some other such garbage and I couldn't help but think "Who cares? It tastes like... Nothing. Just the way water should."
