If you want a laugh regarding Dasani bottled water go and read about it's disasterous launch of it in Britain.

It was such a disaster that it was taken off the market after only a few months.

First it was discovered that all Coca-Cola was doing was using tap/faucet water from Sidcup in Kent and then putting it through some weird osmosis process which left it with dangerously high values of chemicals in it.

Then they gave us these for advertisements:

Or another was "Bottled spunk".

Americans except for Coca-Colas advertising department know what "spunk" means in Britain.

Coke has no plans to ever release it again in Britain or Europe.

Ha, yeah it's all coming back to me now.

It was a laughing stock for weeks, and then they found out it had carcinogens in it.

Meanwhile Aldi sells 2l bottles of spring water here for 40p (50 cents). No one is going to drink Dasani.

Wow, i didn't really doubt the Spunk story, but actually seeing it is a whole different thing

Wait, didn't Tom Scott make an episode on this?

Found it

I like it. Or liked it. Now I'm paranoid about plastic being in everything.

In contrast, why do people love Fiji water?
