Why you can't buy Dasani water in Britain

Coca-Cola's brand of bottled water, Dasani, was a flop in the UK after the public realised it was just filtered tap water. But the story's a bit more complicated than it might seem. | Drinking Dasani with Ashens: • 15-year-old UK Dasani ...

    During a trip to the US I was like "hmmm what the hell is that purified water they sell in bottles ?" And it was just that. What you can do at home with a water purifier, they do sell to you in a bottle... France, like the UK, never had such a product, and like the UK, has many mineral water brands, exported all over the world (Evian, Vittel, Volvic, Perrier...). There is no way such a product would have worked once people would have known what it was in France, because they would have had the same reaction as me : "why the hell would I pay for that when tap water is so cheap?".

    I remember watching a UK spokesman for the brand, trying to defend it. The interviewer asked him, : " so what makes Dasani different, after all it's just tap water?" , he replied : " It goes through an incredibly technical filtration system " ,' the interviewer countered with : " 'So that's it, it's just filtered?" And about 2007, I was in Chicago, on the CTA, I saw a bottle of Dasani on the floor, and just shook my head! HOABL

    On this side of the pond, Dasani actually started as an experiment to see if they could turn wastewater (yes, from a sewage treatment plant) could be turned into drinking water. Started at the Atlanta Metro Wastewater treatment plant. Never realized how badly it was handled on that side of the pond though.

    One of my coworker's brothers was an executive at Coca Cola. We were talking about how Dasani is just filtered tap water and he said that his brother actually said that bottling Dasani was more expensive than Coke because of the extensive filtration process. I'm not surprised as I think that they spend more on marketing than on the actual product. To be honest, I'm much more bothered by seeing Fiji, San Pelligrino, or Evian shipped halfway around the world than the idea that Dasani is just well-filtered water.

    Tom, you did not mention the number one issue with tap water: the last mile. The voyage water takes to your tap varies with the type and age of municipality's system. Older pipes contaminate the water with lead and other metals. Sometimes minor cracks will permit untreated ground water. Even if the water is uncompromised your building's local plumbing may be faulty.

    2:50 also due to both previous and (sadly) current public infrastructure failures or natural disasters, tap water in many places can be fairly dangerous to the human body without a lot of preparation. 2 years ago, large packs of bottled Water were under ~8 Euros (or about $5) in most places. I haven't kept up with the current prices so I can't say how bad it is now. This bottled water, for several places in the United States, is quite literally a lifeline for entire towns and cities relying on it. For the most recent and ongoing disaster in the state of Ohio, it will probably be staple until locals believe the water is safe again. The government is saying the water is safe, but almost nobody believes them and thinks they were bought out.

    Which is according to the packaging inspired by 'clouds' (and hopefully not their air pollution). I particularly like the supposed manufacturer of 'Glaceau' which has connotations of pure glacier ice-melt. Being distilled water, it's not a million miles away from the stuff you put in your iron (deionised) but adding some electrolytes, because the mineral shtick didn't work last time. I often see a bottle and wonder if the 'smart' refers to how they're once again pulling the wool over their supposedly smart customers' eyes.

    It wasn't over nothing. Adding a few minerals (which you could probably do at home) to regular ass (free where I live) tap water doesn't justify bottled water prices. Clearly people didn't think it was tap water. Yes it's all water, but that doesn't give the company the right to mis-sell it as something it's not.
