Bottled water = Tap water
The shock! The
HORROR!
From the
BBC - Coca Cola has admitted that its Dasani bottled water comes from the factory tap.
From the article:
bq. Soft drink giant Coca-Cola has admitted it is selling purified tap water in a bottle. It says the source for its new Dasani bottled water is the mains supply at its factory in Kent.
bq. The company says Dasani is "as pure as bottled water gets" due to a "highly sophisticated purification process".
Jen and I went to this
auction looking for parts for our cider making business -- same deal there with city tap water run through Reverse Osmosis (not a big deal), Carbon block filter for taste removal, UV lights for sterilization and Ozone for the fresh taste. The Dasani water is nothing special, all the major bottlers use these methods of filtration because they are relatively cheap and effective.
Still amazes me that people pay more for drinking water than for gasoline...
