"It says the source for its new Dasani bottled water is the mains supply at its factory in Kent."



\o/ thats a tad sneaky

 

[Chris D]

Gits. And how much is it? £1.50 a bottle?

 

[Direwolf]

Is this a surprise or something?
Its not like it even makes a difference, water is water unless its got arsenic in it or something.

 

[Hot Soup]

no , no surprise

Just a little rich jazzing up and then selling tap water

 

[Direwolf]

Guess I don't count since I never really minded tap water.

 

[The Dark Elf]

Oh no! The Cola Corporation watched that episode of Only Fools and Horses and stole the idea, the gits

 

[mortiz]

Their water will probably glow yellow in the dark as well.

I have the unfortunate TEMPORARY job at a local supermarket. We've shifted loads of this water. Just shows how far advertising can go to the sucess of a product.

So... this water... it has cocaine in it? :naughty:

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

The Wright stuff

You'd think by the ammount of evian bottles sold each day that it too would be tap water....

 

[lePobz]

The sad thing is that people actually buy it anyway because they think it makes them look sexy.

IMO it just makes them look stupid, although you'd look like a tramp if you opened a generic label-less bottle full of your own tap water and started drinking it.

Hah, that's what I was thinking when I read the title of this thread.

The original coca-cola brand was actually made with a cocaine extract, back many many years ago. It got changed, obviously, but that's where the name comes from

 

[Frank]

Well as long as it says Coca-Cola on it or it has a cool logo on it 13-year-old bitches will buy it

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Heheh, not all that unexpected really, but still funny!

Coca-Cola says "reverse osmosis", "a technique perfected by Nasa to purify fluids on spacecraft", is then used to filter the water further before minerals are added to "enhance the pure taste".

this is incorrect (i think- wouldnt like to argue with nasa) as osmosis is when diffusion occurs in water, and it travels through a semi- permiable membrane, which is only found in organic cells.
err, i think. :S
*edit* actually i think this may be possibe, just the only real way it can occur is in organic cells, which are obviosly microscopic, and i cant imagine them "manufacturing" organic cells. I think its just a name and they arent actually using osmosis at all, as it is when water moves from where there is less concentration to where there is more concentration and though this would be nlooming difficult with machines. i think.
