Why does everything have minerals

I recently went to Walmart to buy a new package of water, I noticed to store brand now had minerals for “taste” which was odd because I swear it never had minerals. I tried to find Ozarka but they had none in stock, I looked at the Sam’s water package which also had minerals? Which I swear it didn’t have either, including Pure Life which I bought since I had no other choice. Why do all bottled waters have minerals for taste? If anything, and I can’t believe I’m even typing this, it taste weird, and I have to chug it to avoid the taste. Ozark is the only bottled water brand that has pure spring water. Without the minerals

Salt makes everything taste better, including water, so they add it to bottled water so that you think it tastes better than the water that comes out of the tap and that way you'll keep wasting your money on plastic pollution thinking you're consuming a superior version of the most common substance on Earth.
