Though, according to a 1989 article in Ad Age, Michael Jackson and David Lee Roth were both Evian devotees, our panel of taste-testers was not similarly taken by this water’s charms. They described Evian as “salty,” “chalky,” and “soft,” and compared it to water-fountain water, rain-ditch water, pool water, and, my personal favorite: the water “wrung out from sweaty socks.” Of the 11 tasters, eight thought this was the worst water of the bunch. And of the 11, three were able to correctly identify this sample as Evian—meaning that Evian’s taste, if not delicious, is certainly distinctive.
These intrepid folks described the tap water sample as “chlorinic and bleachy,” “slimy,” “sour,” “briny,” and “tongue coating.” One taster even commented that it had a “bad sewer aftertaste.” When asked which water they thought this might be, nobody guessed tap. Three people mistook the sample for Dasani, and one person guessed that it might actually be cleaning water from a bucket.
Much like Dasani, nobody was able to identify Aquafina. Slate tasters repeatedly described this water as “soft,” “metallic,” and a bit “muddy.”One person declared it “the most neutral of the waters.” And one whimsical colleague thought it tasted “vaguely floral.”
The human body is not valid in my opinion, but it seems that you have a great deal with the phone and fax numbers and I will have to go back to the cinema with Emile and the Scribs and the other hand.
