My son and I got a headache seconds after drinking Coles bottled water

published

I would like to know where does Coles get this water from??
It's far from Spring Water... unless the Springs are polluted.
My 8 year old son and I drank a few sips of this bottled water and within seconds we both got a headache. Not a coincidence.

Coles we would like an explanation!

Purchased from Coles at Figtree NSW.

Purchased in February 2021 at Coles for $0.80.

Awful!

published

I purchased this water in the large pack 2 years ago and felt sick in the stomach followed by headaches in the following days. I only drink water, so I also knew it didn’t taste normal. I accidentally drank a bottle last week at my parents without realising, and had stomach pains/felt like I was going to be sick for hours after. I have read many reviews of similar experiences.

Purchased in January 2021.

Foul smell, think it gave me gastro.

published

We live on a property with no other drinking water. We have been purchasing Coles water for years with no problem. The latest batch (of the alternative supplier due to drought) type bottles smell foul. I am pretty sure I got gastro from the last drink I had. The packaging also appears defective with the wine casket type taps leaking. I would avoid drinking this water. I have complained to Coles.

Coles 10L Spring Water - bad taste, sick family, terrible new tap

published

We have been purchasing Coles 10L spring water for more than 6 months. First they changed the tap to a cheap version which leaks through the fridge and every time we poor a glass. Now the taste and smell - my wife and I both have sore throats and it just smells and tastes off. This needs to be investigated and removed from the shelves!

Purchased in December 2021 at Coles for $4.00.

Coles should be sued for packaging sewer water.

published

Both plastic bottles went off very quickly bought Dec 2022 and made me feel ill so I wanted to make sure I wasn't imaging things and sure enough something disgisting maybe a terrorist plot to kill westerners. Wouldn't surprise me. Their meat was also off. Why do Coles hire terrorists as staff?

Urgent, do not drink will make you very sick

published

Purchased 6, 10 litre bottles for xmas holidays. The water started to smell after being opened for a day. Then realised I was making both myself and wife very sick.

Was in process of throwing it out and the dog had a few small licks of it, % mins later the dog threw-up.

Must be something very bad in this water, ned to get it off the shelves.

I have kept a sample but not sure what to do with it???

Purchased in December 2021 at Coles for $50.00.

Why did they change the packaging

published

I have been buying 10 litre Coles water for years now because I don’t trust the tap water in my area ... and you mofos decide to change the bottle from a plastic easy to use tap on a rectangular container to a goon bag tap which leaks constantly throughout my fridge. The new awful aftertaste is probably from the new plastic box - it’s disgusting. The goon bag tap is inconvenient and harder for elderly people to use also cause you gotta hold it for ages to get the water out instead of flicking the plastic tap like before and letting the water rush out on its own. Change it back please. I’m changing water brands because of how much water leaks out of it in my fridge. Say no to the goon bag tap

Sadly I still had to rate 1 STAR!

published

Australian Spring Water purchased at the Coles Express at the Baulkham Hills Shells smells/tastes like burned plastic or/and metal. My kids complained about it which I did not believe at first since I have been purchasing the same brand for several years but today, I have witnessed that you should be away from that water, get a full refund and an EXPLANATION from COLES!

Purchased in September 2021 at Coles Express.

Have used it for several years.

My wife and I turned to Spring Water to get away from the fluoride poison in our tap water. If fluoride is present in bottled water it would = tap water.
