Without anything else in it, water doesn't have a flavor. What you detect in that case is touch, not taste. Those extra minerals and/or chemicals are where any flavor comes from.

It had a very flat taste, like tap water that's been in a glass over night.

Get the nanopure water just after is has been made or, failing that, the DD H2O straight from the spigot. Shake it up, make sure it can dissolve some of that good ol' CO2. It's like nothing at all in your mouth. It tastes the way PBS feels when you fill goggles with it and wear them over your eyes.

You spent four dollars on a bottle of water so of course it tastes the best, it can't just be a fiction can it.

Fiji water has the higher concentration of fecal coliforms of any of the major bottled waters. So, I can only conclude that the poop is what you like about it. Try some fresh poop and compare. Think of it as "long chocolate".

I read somewhere as well that the Fiji Water factory doesn't have regular electricity, so they use diesel spewing generators 24/7.

They care about the environment. Just not the environment in Fiji.

Fiji brand bottled water actually costs like 10 cents in Fiji so the joke is on us.

I read in a book where an aid worker went to Africa to set up a proper drinking water system for a small village. But in the end the village preferred the untreated water with sewage in it because it "tasted sweeter".

This was in like the first chapter which was all I read but I forgot the name of the book.

Oh cool, I'm not the only weirdo who took an aliquot and tried some.
