Best: Fiji

Fiji Water gets its name because the water bottle brand originated, is bottled, and shipped from the country of Fiji. More specifically, Fiji Water comes from an artesian aquifer in Viti Levu.

Not only does the square-shaped bottle set it apart from other brands, but taste testers agree it's refreshing and smooth.

Mixed Reviews: SmartWater

It's hard not to notice the giant bottles of Glacéau Smartwater compared to all the other water bottles at the grocery store.

Smartwater is a vapor-distilled water brand with added electrolytes and was one of the first brands to add enhancements to its water. Expert tasters recommend opening the water and letting it breathe for a bit before drinking to get the best flavor.

Worst: Dasani Is Actually High In Sodium

Most water bottle drinkers would think that the only ingredient would be water, but that isn't true for Dasani. Launched by the Coca-Cola Company in 1999, this brand has some unique ingredients.

Dasani is made from tap water, salt, magnesium sulfate, and potassium chloride. The extra salt causes people to be thirstier than when they started drinking.

Best: Zephyrhills Hits The Spot

Only certain areas in the U.S. get the chance to drink Zephyrhills. It's a spring water bottle brand made in Crystal Springs and Zephyrhills, Florida.

Limestone aquifers purify the water, which gives it a smooth, cool, and refreshing taste. While Zephyrhills is one of the best-tasting spring waters, its bottle design is subpar.

Mixed Reviews: Icelandic Glacial Is Filtered Through Lava Rocks

One thing that sets Icelandic Glacial water apart is its state-of-the-art water bottles. They are made to resemble actual ice crystals.

Their water comes from an underground spring that was caused by a five-thousand-year-old volcanic eruption. Since the water is filtered through lava rock, it can come out tasting bitter. The best way to combat this is to drink it while it's still really cold.

Best: Boxed Water Is Better

Boxed Water is looking out for the environment with its earth-friendly paper cartons. These paper boxes are 74 percent made with trees, so they are better for the planet.

Some taste testers stated that Boxed Water had no overpowering flavors, was just a little thin, and wasn't filled with chemicals and minerals like other water brands.

Mixed Reviews: Core Hydration Has A Bottle Unlike No Other

The unusually shaped bottles of Core Hydration might get any shopper to pick it up and give it a try. The purified water is enhanced with electrolytes and minerals and comes with a naturally high pH balance.

Those who've tried Core Hydration love the bottle's shape, but describe the taste as almost like air. Core Hydration drinkers recommend having it cold, rather than at room temperature.
