I tend to buy water instead of flavoured drinks most of the time.
And the sugar content of these flavoured waters tends to keep me away from them. |
Flavored waters like propel have no sugar. |

| I would, it would make it a lot easier to get the recommended 8 glasses of water a day. |

Yeah - it's been in America a while as well. For some reason this is made-out to being a big deal though? It's hardly nothing new, just name-brands put on the same old . |

Well, this looks like the real Swamp. There was an imposter floating about a week ago and he ran your reputation in the dirt.
Anyhow, I'll drink anything that tastes like alcohol!

It's just a marketing gimmick, but people will still buy it.
"Mizone" is the brand that springs to mind here in Oz, quite a lot of people buy it. |

same over here. There are some nice ones about, but the majority just taste like nothing.
My personal faourites include a still lemon & lime one from i think vittel or someone like that, and a sparkling peach one from some company who supply the airplanes since I only ever find that particular nice one on flights :( |

Soft drink is purified tap water
Tap water
Tap water is the source for Coca-Cola's Dasani product
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.
The company says Dasani is "as pure as bottled water gets" due to a "highly sophisticated purification process".
But the UK water industry is worried that the marketing of the product implies tap water is impure, which experts say is not the case.
'Reverse osmosis'
Coca-Cola is investing £7m in launching Dasani, which has become the second most popular bottled water in the US following its launch there in 1999.
We would never say tap water isn't drinkable. It's just that Dasani is as pure as water can get - there are different levels of purity
Coca-Cola
Marketing for the product says it goes through four stages of production before it is bottled, starting with being passed through three separate filters.
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".
Finally, "ozone" is injected to keep the water sterile, the company says.
But water industry representatives say consumers do not need to buy Dasani to get "excellent quality, healthy water".
'Tap water pure'
Barrie Clarke, spokesman for suppliers' representative Water UK, said: "We don't think there are any impurities in tap water.
"If people like the bottle, the convenience, the style, then fine, but I don't think that is the way they are marketing this product.
"Tap water is pure, and that's the opinion of the drinking water inspectorate, which carries out three million checks a year."
Judith Snyder, brand PR manager for Dasani, confirmed "municipal" water supplies were used but said the source was "irrelevant" because it "doesn't affect the end result".
She said: "We would never say tap water isn't drinkable.
"It's just that Dasani is as pure as water can get - there are different levels of purity."
Research published on Wednesday shows that UK consumers drank more then two billion litres of water in 2003 - up 18% on 2002. |
