The reason it tastes "funny" (I'm being generous) is because the flavor of
water is derived from the minerals it contains.
Regional water bottlers that produce a national brand (e.g. Dasani) treat their
water source to purify and remove taste (reverse osmosis demineralization and
UV to kill micro bacteria), and then add a mineral premix back to the result to
provide the flavor. Which is why it tastes the same whether you buy it in NY or
CA.
Stuff that is tied to a specific source (e.g. Saratoga, at least it used to be)
does not go through the demineralization/remineralization process. And it is
rarely seen outside a specific geographic region because of the poor economics
of shipping water.

I buy reverse osmosis water at my local Canadian Tire store and use it for
drinking water as many others do. I don't drink my softened well water that
often.

It's easier to fool people (i.e. AGW) than to convince them that they have
been fooled.
