"Dasani : Peckham Spring"

Have you read about Coca-Cola's new "Pure Still Water"? It's f* cking tap water!!! They even admit it!! lol...they take it from a tap in some warehouse...filter it and sell it to us for 95p a 500ml bottle (tap equivlent 0.03p)!!!

from what I've read they are filtering, adding minerals to change the taste, and doing other stuf to the water. If its being advertised misleadingy then they should get rapped for it however.

Anyone that pays over the odds for bottled water is a mug to start with. I keep rats, and have to buy bottled water (flouride is a slow poison to them) but kwik save 18 pence for 2 liters is nearly identical in mineral makeup and ph values as 1.50 for a liter "executive" water.

My shop sells about 6 brands of water and about 3 flavoured waters and it sells the most. That Dasani stuff has been flying off the shelf, idiots.

Where there are unwitting mugs, there is cash...

Just kidding, water around here is quite nice I don't think that many people would pay that much for tap water would they?

Coca Cola people turned the tap on and filled the water in a bottle for you. You should be honoured

Water here in Suffolk is OK. Pity about my limescale encrusted teeth.

Doesnt bother me, nice cold refreshing drink, at actually quenches your thrist. And its being filtered. and for 59p for 2 litres, its not all that bad is it? Besdies, we can expecting a price drop now i guess. 30p for 2 litres.

Of course, it is filtered three times and the source with mineral water of Dasani's type is irrelevant - it's not being marketed as water from mountains (and therefore that being the reason why it's so good)...but carry on with your "hahae stoopid".

Not that I advocate selling bottled water, of course.

i bought a bottle yesterday, for work.
95p my ars£, i paid 59p for 2 litres. Just having a break when it comes on the radio, that its tap water!

Mind you, where i am working at the moment there is no taps. Or water. And i'd rather drink water than a sugery substance.

I'm a cheap skate, i should of got evian for 10p more, to get that autentic muddy mountain taste.

He said 35% more oxygen, not 35% more water.
