Shapers Summer Fruits Spring Water from Boots

Advantages: low in cals
Disadvantages: bitter taste & nasty fizzyness sticks in throat

...in red. Smell: Stingy on the nasal passages as is a sparkling drink, and i should have known better than to sniff my beverage! Aside from the pain and watering eyes, the aroma is quite plasticy and smells of a false bitter berry aroma. Appearance: Hard to see as in a white plastic covered bottle. However upon peeling the bottle plastic cover off. And yes I am aware of what the peeling off of the label means as regards my sexual frustration for all those psychologists out there. However this is purely so i can analyse the colour of the drink for you. Its a watery and weak red - pinky colour with fizzy bubbles through it. Taste: It's a very fizzy drink and even with the first sip you can feel your stomach fill up with carbon dioxide gas. Perhaps this is why it is a shapers product. The idea might be that you feel all full up...

Review of Shapers Sparkling Summer Fruits Spring Water

water water everywhere and none for my dog to drink

Advantages: good in times of water shortage or out on a hot day
Disadvantages: tastes like tap water

...At the weekend the firebrigade was doing charity car washes. What you might ask has that got to do with Highland Spring water, well they burst a water pipe and left the houses here with no water for 5 hours. We had no notice to draw off water for things which wasnt too bad but we have a dog who of course at that moment had decided that he had drank all his water in his dish and the only thing on this earth he wanted was a drink of water. Although the water was everywhere it was a dirty brown colour. If it was just coming out the pipes pure perhaps my dog could have had a bit of that but not brown. I never buy bottled water but ... well he is 17 in June ... off we went to the local shop where there must have been a lot of dogs doing the same as they were limiting the stock they had to 2 bottles per person. We bought...

Review of Highland Spring Still Natural Mineral Water

Do you know where your tap water's been?

Advantages: A soft, neutral-tasting water at a reasonable cost.
Disadvantages: Not yet as widely available as it should be.

...been laughable, but more than £2,000,000 is now spent on it every day. Part of this is concern about the quality of tap water, part is convenience and another part is, I think, a fashion statement. Some waters cost silly money. Kabbalah Mountain Spring Water from Canada is Madonna's favourite, but at £3.90 a litre she's probably one of the few people who can afford it on a regular basis. I'm very much from the cheap end of the market. Harrogate Spa Water costs 54p for a 1.5l bottle, or just 36p a litre and I think it's up there with the best of them. I grew up in Harrogate, which is what probably attracted me to the label in the first place. The "Buy one, get one free" offer in the local supermarket might have had something to do with it too and a trolley-load came home with me. As a child I was told about the town's supply...

Review of Harrogate Spa Still Spring Water

  A Spring Experience

Advantages: All the staff are very friendly and professional
Disadvantages: It is quite expensive

...A place where the England Football Team come back time and time again to be pampered, a place that celebrities are often seen relaxing in. So when I felt last week very stressed and in need of 24hrs complete relaxation I couldn?t think of a better place to go. I had never been to Champneys Springs before and so was very excited as to what it would be like and wondering whether I might bump into a celebrity on my stay there. The resort is situated out in the countryside of Ashby de la Zouch in Leicestershire. FIRST IMPRESSIONS On entering the resort I felt like I had been transported into another world. A world away from problems, a very care free environment full of smiling faces and pleasant surroundings. I instantly felt a sense of calm floating around me. The reception area looked very lush and had several relaxing abstract...

Review of Springs Spa

Highland Spring

Advantages: Plain and simple
Disadvantages: Not very exciting

...Product - Highland Spring Still Spring Water 500ml Taste - Its water so not much to be said! 4/5 Packaging - Standard plastic bottle with easy access spout 4/5 Price - I got my bottle for 70p 3/5 Nutritional content - Same as ordinary water Overall - 4/5 Im not a huge fan of bottled water as I live in an area with good tap water and most of the bottled varieties have a strange taste to me. However, when needs must I would always buy Highland Spring. It's a fairly plain tasting water with no additives, and is very refreshing. The priced of this product is much lower than most other brands from my experience and the drinking spout lid is really useful when on the go. What else can I say? This product wont amaze you, it is after all just water, but in a market full of many brands I would definitely recommend this one above...

Review of Highland Spring Still Natural Mineral Water

The Highland Fling....with a Spring in your step!

Advantages: Drinking water is good for you!
Disadvantages: Can be costly buying bottled water all the time.

...I started drinking bottled mineral water about 3 years ago when my local authority decided to renew all the water pipes in my area, and for some reason after they had finished the water never tasted the same, probably due to the fact it was now cleaner! I try to drink about 2 litres of water every day, and try to make this up with half tap water and half mineral water, I would prefer all mineral water but it can prove to be expensive that way (I have tried it for a few weeks) I have a bottle of 100% Scottish mineral water by Highland Spring on my desk at moment, I usually always have at least a few bottles of mineral water in my fridge at a time, and when at college or work placement drink my way through on average about 15 bottles per week. The bottle I have is a screw cap bottle but it is also available in the very popular...

Review of Highland Spring Still Natural Mineral Water

Water Water everywhere.

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Tastes similar to tap water, funny that!

...I only have just recentely started drinking this. Being pregnant, I have gone off tea, coffee and soft drinks give me heartburn, so I started drinking tap water as really the only available option left to me. My partner thought that bottled water would be a better option, "less pollutants" he told me. So off I trundled to Sainsburys and purchased a two litre bottle of Sainsburys Pennine still spring water. At 39 pence, it comes in a clear plastic bottle, With a label in the colours of blue and grey, depicting a mountain. As they all seem to do for some reason? Maybe it's the sign of it's natural source. It is suggested that it tastes better cooled and be kept out of direct sunlight. Good thinking! The mineral analysis is also noted on the label, giving typical values per litre. Included in this are Calcium, Magnesium...

Review of Sainsbury's Still Spring Water

Watch This Water Take SHAPE!

Advantages: Water, Added Calcium and Magnesium
Disadvantages: Flavours mean additives

...My husband has a definite aversion to water. Unless it is beer flavour or soft drink flavoured he doesn't even want to know about it. However, we all know how important water is to the diet and I KNOW that my husband just doesn't get enough of it. Because of this I am always on the look out for water my husband will drink. I have tried several different flavoured waters over the last 3 years. But, time and time again, husband doesn't like the taste- too sweet, too chemically, too WET! AGGGHHHHHH!!! I was pulling my hair out! So, the day I saw in my local ASDA the new Danone Shape Flavoured Still Spring Water, I had to give it a try. At first, I bought it for myself to try out but before I had a chance to taste it, hubby had gotten a hold of it (he thought it was fizzy pop) and took a deep swig. I must say, from that moment...

Review of Danone Shape Flavoured Still Spring Water

Water Pressure at School

Advantages: cheap for bottled water
Disadvantages: it's the same as my tap water

...We are all aware nowadays of the importance of drinking water to maintain a healthy body. (I have to admit to still not drinking enough of the stuff, despite all good intentions.) Anyway, last year, schools decided to jump on the Water is Wonderful bandwagon and recommended that all children bring a bottle of water into class with them. A hydrated brain is much more receptive to learning. The children were delighted with the novelty of being allowed to drink a bottle of something, anything, in the class, and threw themselves into complying with the recommendation. This is where the problem lies. We live in Central Scotland, where tap water is clean and clear and tastes beautiful. No problem, one would think, with pouring tap water into a drinking flask, chilling it, then sending it off to school with my daughter to feed...
