The start making Dasani by purifying tap water. Humans don't think very pure tap water tastes 'right' because they're used to drinking water that contains some level of dissolved salts (try taking a sip of highly distilled water or 'RO' water). So, they add some mineral salts to make the taste 'better'.

Dasani/Aqua Fina are unhealthy waters because they will take the minerals out of your body. If you exercise do not drink it. You will rinse the last remaining minerals after you have sweated out the rest out of your body with this purified water. The best is to drink real mineral water. Perrier, Sant Pellegrino or Gerolsteiner are the best.

Bottled Water does taste different.... but most have to do a head to head comparison to figure it out.

It depends on the bottled water and the tap water in question. Certainly the tap water where I live now is outstanding. I drink bottled water for convenience. On the other hand, some years ago I lived in Fairfax County Virginia. I think they got their water from the Potomac. Every summer, as the water level would go down and hence the bacterial count would go up, they had to crank up the chlorine to purify the water. It had so much chlorine in it that when we ran the shower the apartment smelled like a swimming pool. Even our cats wouldnt drink the water. We used bottled water for any internal consumption in the summer; coffee, drinking, and water for the cats.

When I do have to buy bottled water (seldom) I will buy Fiji.... I LOVE the little square bottles! I then keep them and refill them and put them in the fridge!
