The Fiji Bottled Water Taste Test41.2 lbs LOSTso farMarch 15, 2008 by Israel Lagares | 14 comments
I finally decided to record a live taste testing of the much acclaimed Fiji bottled water brand. Before this water tasting, I have never tasted Fiji water. I still think that Fiji bottled water is extremely over priced. It’s all recorded for your viewing pleasure, plus my verdict. Watch the video below. Enjoy.

Is, you are SOOOOO funny doing your Fiji water test in a Corona shirt! LMAO!!! ;p
How outstanding that you were open to check this out for yourself. And brave too. When I did my taste test I just bought one large bottle.
Did it taste different? Well, not really. But I did find that chilling it real good did make it taste better than just at room temp. In our house we drink Deer Park. We have to buy 2 24 packs a week because we will not drink tap. Not even our cats get tap. But I love my kitties. XOXO
It’s sort of a personal challenge for use to find a case of the water under $5. Last time it was on sale at Target we bought 6 cases. Not the way my DH likes to do it but I said it’s not going to spoil and we are going to use it anyway. Of course, I won.
My verdict with Fiji–maybe nice as a treat but no biggie.
I believe the goal should be drink lots of clean water regardless of the popularity.
Kimberly, good point on drinking lots of clean water. There is a video I will be putting up that I found about tap water versus bottled water.
Nearly all the water is the same. Many water companies fill their bottles with tapwater. There’s no difference! The water packaging costs a lot more than the water itself, so the food industry is just profiting big time from bottled water sales.
Now if these companies can make people believe their brand has special volcanic minerals making their water worth 7$ for a 6 pack… then they’ll gladly take our money for something that actually costs only a few cents.
Yep, now the bottled water companies are labeling the bottled as “Municipal Water” or something to that effect. It’s just bottled up tap water. I come from NYC which has some of the best tap water in the country.
Hope your enjoying the plastic in your water too….
Antimony mmm mmmm good….
haha, I actually thought that Fiji water would taste different from all the other waters. Well, I guess not, thanks for letting me know!
I was told it did, but I couldn’t really tell the difference.
You know that many people in Fiji dont have access to clean water? I thinks immoral to drink water from Fiji while they dont have access to it….It also pollutes the environment to ship this water all that way ..Its stupid!
I have read some articles on how much environmental damage making fiji bottled water causes…
hi there~
you are really experts in this field.keep it up and all the best
The reason I buy Fiji water is because of the bottle they come in. It is the most sturdy bottle I have found and are easily washed and refilled without getting dents and wrinkles in the bottle.
@adam: refilled with tap water!
It does taste different. I don’t mean to be a snob, but if you think Fiji Water tastes the same as Dasani or Aquafina, ouch. Also, you can tell by how you put so much into your mouth at once that you’re not properly tasting it anyway. Also, the water should be chilled to the appropriate temperature for accurate comparison.
I’m not a big fan of the economic or environmental effects of bottled water, especially Fiji, but I know good taste when I find it. Fiji is the best non-sparkling water I’ve tasted to date, but I can’t say I’ve tasted Voss or Tasmanian Rain, other highly acclaimed varieties.
Well, I guess I don’t have the pallet you do. LOL. Who cares how good water tastes? Really. Who? Water is water man. Leave the “tasting” snobiness for wine. Water is water. Period.
