by da gino on Sun Oct 19, 2008 12:10 pm I recently picked up a TDS meter and have been fun testing the hardness of all the water I come across from tap water to bottled water. They were giving out Whole Food's 365 spring water at an event we went to and I brought it home and I was surprised to see it tested identically to CG water. I decided to look at the fine print and sure enough it said "bottled at the CG Roxanne Spring Source in Roxanne TN" which is exactly what my Crystal Geyser water says. Obviously the source for 365 may depend on where you live, but I thought I should post this in case I could save some of the Crystal Geyser fans out there some money. (At least here 365 spring water is about 1$/ gallon and the cheapest I can get CG is around 3$/gallon although I know some places you can get it much cheaper).
I confess the bottle we were given was too small to use in a taste test to see if it tastes the same as CG, but given that it comes from the same source, I'm guessing it will taste the same or at least the taste will be too closer for my palate to tell the difference.
Your CG is from Tennessee and the CG here in LA comes from the Olancha spring in the Sierra Nevada's, right in your back yard.
