[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The brand hasn’t been discontinued, but many years ago, Glaceau water was actually from glaciers, and tasted wonderful.  I miss the original.

You're a marketer's dream, poster.

Glaceau water has [b]always[/b] been produced by distillation, it was never from glaciers.

Nobody is harvesting glacier water for bottled water in the USA - Asia yes, but not here. The only glaciers that exist in the USA are on federally protected lands not open to such industry.

After they distill the water, they add back minerals for flavor which are depleted by distillation. The minerals give the water its taste. Perhaps Glaceau has changed the formula of minerals added back in and that's what you perceive. But the water has always been distilled.[/quote]

I’m pretty sure you’re wrong, but I also don’t remember the purported original source.  I’m not  assuming, though — as you are doing — that the original source was in the US.   Yes, I’m old enough to remember when Perrier — imported from France — and San Pellegrino were a big deal, and glass bottles of chinotto were a sophisticated treat. This was many many years  ago.   It was even better than Icelandic — which I really like now.

To add: I’m talking: before it was called SmartWater and before Coca Cola acquired the brand. I’m actually curious now, and want to see what history I can find that hasn’t been overshadowed by Coca Cola’s marketing efforts.  [/quote]
