I never have liked the taste of water coming out of the Dromedary bag.  I
had several and have wound up throwing them away or they are buried in back
of a closet (I had them both before and after the recall they had x years
ago...but found no difference in what I feel is a bad taste they give to
water).  The best container for taste and versatile use are those REI or
Campmor pillow type bags that cost around $7 and hold about 3 gallons.  The
spouts work well and they resist puncturing.
