This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Tbf mineral water/spring water has a taste and feel to it, and that is dependant on the minerals. For instance Fiji water tastes/feels like that due to the silica content. "Purified water" in the states usually contains sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and calcium chloride "for taste" they say, I personally think baking soda tastes bad.
But hell no I wouldn't pay $19 a bottle, my go to is sourced from a local spring and is great, for $4 for 35, that's like 11c a bottle lmao.
