No contest. They're similarly priced here however.
I bought Bluemarine to try. Don't make the same mistake I did.
That is all.

Evian, why are you only availabe in 6 ounce bottles???

Bluemarine is better than any other Korean water and better than Dasani Aquafina, Ice Mountain, Poland Spring, Absopure, on par with Fiji, but in no way does it compare with Evian.

Evian is right up there with President Butter, Dr. Pepper, Nutella, and Quaker Oat Squares.

Evian is "naive" spelled backwords.

It doesn't taste pure to me at all - and in blind taste tests many people choose tap water over it and similarly hyped brands of bottled water.

Between the plastic bottles and the transporting of it, it's also more environmentally harmful than tap water.

Not that there aren't serious problems with tap water ...

Call me naive but no other water I've tasted anywhere is anything like Evian.

When I opened up Bluemarine I was expecting an Evian-like taste but what I got was more akin to tap water than Lotte Icis. I think Icis is the best Korean bottled water, and is like half the price of Bluemarine...

Have you seen the Evian Babies commercial? Funny.

Volvic used to taste pure, but I noticed a distinct change in it a couple years ago. The purest tasting Korean bottled water, in my opinion, is Samdasoo (from Jeju).

Evian comes from my bathtub faucet, and Bluemarine comes from the kitchen sink tap. So they're both basically the same. Thanks for helping to make me rich BTW.

I should have edited Fiji down a notch and put Absopure up one...

Fiji sucks actually.

The people who say "It all tastes the same" are the same people who say all Jazz music sounds the same.

Yeah Volvic went downhill a while back.

The Speedway bottled water was pretty good, I forgot what it was called...

Aquafina is really nice super cold or mixed in a drink, but if it gets above 45-50 degrees it starts to taste funky.

The thing I like about evian is it tastes really good at all temperatures, Bluemarine and Absopure too.

Ha Neul is okay, I don't really like Sam Da Soo or Bbae Uh Nal because their taste goes down when they aren't cold

As for the environmental impact of bottled water, unless you are living like the Amish arguing over bottled or tap water is like arguing over shooting someone with a .22 or a .38. You're still murdering.

I've always hated Evian,

As annoying as it sounds, I'm picky about the taste of my water. I'm used to a slightly metallic taste (probably the pipping in my town) and Evian is too "pristine" I feel like I'm drinking air or something. It's like distilled water, there's not grunt in my water.

Blue Marine sucks too. It's worse than Samsoo or the other 500 ranged bottle waters. The best I've had was some 7-11 water here...

Guess I'm special though, I like my water with a little more chemical oomph in it. My deathbed awaits on because of the rusted lead coursing through my veins.
