If bottled water's always struck you as a little, well, dumb, you're not alone. A new survey by Which? says 50 per cent of people can't tell the difference between tap and bottled, and a fifth think tap tastes better. Factor in the price difference -- 0.22p per litre for tap versus 31p per litre for Evian -- and bottled water's use of 1.5 million tonnes of plastic per year, and it looks like a clear win for tap. Still not convinced? Here are five ways to make tap water even better and cooler than it is already.
1 Brand your tap water
Wear your money-saving smarts on your sleeve and stick two fingers up to bottled water by filling an old plastic water bottle with tap water -- and, for extra kudos, dress it with a labelling kit from the brilliant We Want Tap campaign (pictured above).

Nice cold water without having to run the tap. And it seems to taste better too.
