I am not exaggerating when I say I'd rather drink tap water in most cities. I have no clue why AC uses it when there are so many other better brands. I won't bother listing them, because any brand you can name is better. Seriously - Great Value from Wal-Mart is several steps above in taste.

I keep being bothered by this foul tasting water when onboard int'l flights but keep forgetting to post about it. I can't find a thread about Naya, so here I am complaining about it. Wondering if others feel the same?

The only reason I can think for AC to be carrying Naya onboard is someone at AC knows someone's _________ family member and got the contract. If anyone making decisions actually first tried the water, I don't see any scenario they wouldn't have spit it out.
