The taste test that makes you want to pee.
[music plays]
It's time for another blind taste test with a real
blind person. This time... bottled water.
Now I've got 8 different kinds of bottled water to try
and I will rate each one and let you know which I think
taste the best. Also, I have to guess whether it's artesian,
spring, or purified water. There's a lot to do
and not much time so let's get started.
H 2 0 what a contest this is going to be.
[bell] Here's the first one. I'll just take a nice
taste of this here and let's see what we think.
That's pretty nice. I like that water.
Doesn't have too much of an after taste or anything. You know, it tastes nice and clean
and smooth and stuff. So out of 10, I think I'll give that
7.5. Ten's going to be the highest. Now I have to guess
I have no idea. So I'm going to go with
spring water. [buzzer] No!
What kind of water is that? BEN: That's purified water
and the brand is Dasani. TOMMY: Okay. Alright good.
[beel] Let's try another one.
Now that's a little bit
different than the first one. I can't quite put my finger on why
but I do feel like it's a little bit different.
It's still nice and smooth. But the back end... you know, the taste. The after taste.
It's a little bit different. So I'm going to give that one
a 6.5 and I'm going to say
that is artesian water.
[bell rings/audience applauds] Ooh, I got it! Hey!
What kind is this? BEN: Fiji. TOMMY: Oh, that's Fiji water.
Ooh, fancy. Ooh, you get this in all the nicest hotels.
[bell] Let's try another one.
Alright, this one is
kind of reminds me of the second one.
I don't know if I'm in love with it.
It's tied with the second one. I think that's a 6.5.
And what kind of water do I think this is?
I'm going to say this is artesian water
again. [buzzer ] No.
What kind of water was that? BEN: It's purified water by Aquafina.
TOMMY: [laughs]
See how different all these are? [bell]
Time for another bottled water.
There's seems to be a strange aftertaste on the end of it.
I'm working really hard to try and figure out the
difference between these but that one was a little strange
so I'm going to give that a 5. Not as good.
Not as good as the others. And I'm going to say that is, um...
spring water. [buzzer ] No.
Oh, boy. What kind was this, sir?
BEN: That was purified water by Boxed Water is Better.
TOMMY: Oh, ask for it by name, everybody.
Just sort of... just got a nice flow to it, doesn't it?
[bell] Alright, let's try another one.
Not much of an aftertaste.
It's pretty good that way. It's good.
I would drink that. I'd be happy with that. I'll give that
a 7. And I will say that
is, um... purified water. [buzzer]
No. [laughs] Oh, boy.
Boy, they're all so different, aren't they friends?
What kind was this? BEN: Spring water by Arrowhead.
TOMMY: This test is ridiculous. How can anybody
do this? I challenge any sighted person to take this test
and do better than me. [bell] Alright, let's try another one.
I feel like this one
has sort of a funny aftertaste. I feel like it's got
a little something extra in it. Maybe dirt because it spring water.
I have not idea. I'm not in love with that?
The lowest score I've given so far is a 5. I think this gets a 5 as well.
And I think this is purified water. [buzzer]
No. Oh, boy. BEN: That was
artesian by Voss. TOMMY: Wow.
That's how it comes?
I'd think that was furniture cleaner in there or something?
[laughs] [bell] So, let's try another one, okay?
Here we go.
I feel like that one is nice and smooth.
I feel like there's really nothing much to it.
No funny aftertaste, you know. It's just nice and clean
and watery goodness. Yeah, I like this. I think this is my favorite
of all of them so far. So I'm going to give this one a solid 8.
I'm going to say that's purif --- yes, I'm going to lock it in and say that's
purified water. [bell rings/audience applauds]
Oh my god. Lucky guess.
What kind if this? BEN: Nestle's Pure Life.
TOMMY: So far, so good. Nestle's makes the best. Corporate water.
[bell] Well, we've come to the final
water. I'm doing pretty good. I've got 2 out of 7.
[laughs]
Right, I don't really care for that one much. I really don't.
I don't why. There's just a funny thing that happens with that water.
Seems to have sort of a strange aftertaste.
I'm going to give that a 4. I think that's the worst water I've had today.
And I'm going to guess that is spring water.
[bell rings/audience applauds] Oh my god. Look at me go.
It stinks this game is over now. I'm getting good.
BEN: That was Evian. TOMMY: That was Evian?
My favorite thing about Evian is spelled backwards - it's naive.
[laughs]
Next time we're going to see if I can figure out which kind of air I'm breathing.
[credits music]
So that water I thought was the very best
was N-E-S-T-L-E-S.
See what I did there? [laughs]
That was my favorite one. And I don't know if I could pick it out
again, you know. [chuckles] Oh, look!
Bonus round. Ben has put down one more water.
Alright, let me see if I can figure what this one is here.
That's a decent water. A little bit of an aftertaste.
But fairly good. I like it. I give that about
a 7. Not awesome, but not
--- right in the middle of the road there. I'm going to say artesian water.
[buzzer] No. What kind was this?
BEN: This was purified water.... TOMMY: [sigh]
BEN: ... by Nestle's Pure Life. TOMMY: Get out of here! Really?
[laughs]
