Sometimes I want to crash the national convention of professional color namers and smack them all with a giant wet, scaly dead fish, you know?

I remember reading a review of various bottled waters when that started to become a thing in the 90s, with Volvic and Evian and the like. At the end of every review the guy would say "tastes like water."

This is true, but that doesn't mean there aren't better and worse ones! I wouldn't put Evian high on the list, but Fiji is exquisite, and weirdly enough, that extra-oxygen artificial one that I can't remember the name of is also incredibly delicious, one of the best I've ever had. But my absolute favorite is Mountain Valley Spring, the water bottled in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I miss that water almost as much as I miss bagels and dill pickles and proper Mexican food.

Hee hee. I just thought it was amusing in light of the wine-description discussion. The reviewer did have specific things to say about each water. Personally I hate Dasani, but other than that I can take or leave most waters. Tap water, on the other hand, can literally make me sick if it's not properly processed. I guess I'm spoiled since I grew up on Lake Michigan.
