    Dasani is made by Coke. It tastes the leftover water that doesn’t ripen into the dark brown coca cola.

    What’s funny is back in the day bottling was very local. Coke didn’t even own the bottlers and still doesn’t. Back then, if they had bottled water it would’ve straight up been from either your local or somewhere nearby’s municipal water supply. In the 70s the bottlers consolidated regionally into things like Coca Cola United and Coca Cola Consolidated. Be nice to go back to that, with glass bottles going directly back to your local bottling company for reuse and no wasteful shipping of stuff you can frankly get locally.

    Edit: In the 1920s there were over 5,000 bottling companies in the US. A bottling company for every 20,000 people. Thats how local it was.

      Same here. Both me and my daughter can’t drink it. It’s terrible. My wife thinks we are insane.

      I agree with you, I dislike Dasani. However, it will never be as bad as the abomination that is Air Canada’s bottled water. It tastes like loose change, chalk, and flour.

    I don’t hate Dasani, but it is definitely a different flavor than most bottled water. They add some minerals specifically to flavor it, which is a weird choice. But I guess if you’re CocaCola and your entire business is adding shit to water, you aren’t gonna just sell boring water.

      If you look at the ingredients label, it’s salt. They add salt to the water.

      Like am I crazy or is that literally doing the opposite of hydrating you

        Ehh, depends on the concentration of salt and if you’ve been sweating a whole lot… and I mean working outside in the heat sweating, not a 30-minute cardio. But unless you have low (or lose) sodium and/or chloride, than it will probably dehydrate you

      Or the store just got their Dasani shipment. Or they ordered twice as much because it’s so popular.

      Sometimes jokes are funny as long as you don’t think about them too much.

    I went to Publix day before the hurricane and the shelves were empty. There was a stand alone display of Dasani and nobody was grabbing it. I ended up grabbing a case of Zephyhills at a gas station.
