What Jonathan decided
FINAL winner = Tru Alka ("just good and pure no bad aftertaste"); pairs: O Pure > La Croix, Run Tan > Andes, Tru Alka > Acqua Filette.
Acqua Filette
He took Acqua Filette to round three of a five-water field, knocking out Kona Deep (too sweet) and the rest, before Tru Alka beat it on pure clean taste. A deep tournament run for a fancy Italian bottle.
About Acqua Filette
Acqua Filette is a premium Italian oligomineral water from the Guarcino spring, 900 meters up in the Lazio Apennines, bottled since 1894. Roman writers like Pliny and Seneca praised these waters, and it has near-zero nitrates with almost no sodium. It comes in glass only and is a fine-dining staple.
Andes Mountains
It lost its pairing to Run Tian, and Tru Alka took the final as "just good and pure, no bad aftertaste." A quiet exit.
About Andes Mountains
This is the same Chilean Andes Mountain brand under a plural naming, the premium spring water from near Colico Lake bottled since 2011 by a wine-industry team.
LaCroix
Pur Aqua won that matchup for tasting the best and being the cheapest, while VOSS went out first for tasting bad. In the later six-water showdown, Tru Alka won the whole thing as "just good and pure, no bad aftertaste." LaCroix was part of the pack both times.
About LaCroix
LaCroix is the sparkling water brand owned by National Beverage Corp., also the owner of Shasta and Faygo, launched in February 1980 by the G. Heileman Brewing Company of La Crosse, Wisconsin, as an "Anti-Perrier" for the Midwest. The name is pronounced "la-KROY" after the St. Croix River. A 2015 social-media push turned it into a national cult favorite, and it holds roughly 30% of US sparkling water sales. Every can lists two ingredients: carbonated water and natural flavor.
O Pure New Zealand
Tru Alka won #7173 outright ("just good and pure, no bad aftertaste"). O Pure beat La Croix in its pairing, so it had a good day before the run ended. Losing to Tru Alka is no shame.
About O Pure New Zealand
O PURE artesian water from New Zealand (Parkers). It claims one of the oldest water vintages in the world, and the company is a major bag-in-box water producer in New Zealand. Premium price point around $10 a bottle, sold in bottles, sparkling, and biodegradable bags.
Run Tan Selenium Mineral
In this six-water round, Run Tan beat Andes Mountains in its pairing, but the final went to Tru Alka, which he called just good and pure with no bad aftertaste.
About Run Tan Selenium Mineral
The record is unclear on this one: no reliable information could be found for a bottled water brand by this name.
Tru Alka (True Water / Alka True)
A bracket champion in its own right. It beat Llanllyr, then a five-way field, then won the final with water he called "just good and pure no bad aftertaste." Later it pushed Hawaiian Springs hard, both got two thumbs up, but Hawaiian tasted "a little bit better a little cleaner a little bit more pure."
About Tru Alka (True Water / Alka True)
Tru Alka is a premium alkaline water around pH 9.5, purified by reverse osmosis, then ionized and enhanced with calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. BPA-free, zero calories, marketed for pH balance and hydration.
Notes on this record
- Drafting note from the verified draft records: Run Tan Selenium Mineral (#7173): the episode title spells it "Run Tain" while the mention reads "Run Tan Selenium Mineral (China)". Unclear which spelling is the real brand name.
