It’s a Coca-Cola product. It’s the water they use to make Coke.
I worked for a Pepsi bottler/distributor for 11 years, so Dasani sucks. Aquafina is where it’s at.
With that said, I buy the 40-bottle packs of Great Value (Walmart store brand) water. It’s purified by reverse-osmosis filtration and tastes great to me. It’s around $3.80 for what adds up to 5 1/4 gallons of water per 40-bottle package, in 1/2-liter bottles. I keep 8-10 packages (42-52 gallons of water) on hand.
We live in the country and get our water from a well, so if the electricity goes out we have no water. I like to be prepared somewhat at least. I drink a bottle or two daily and replace and rotate the cases as I use them.
I don’t know if you can get it, but Ozarka is the best. It really is spring water and I can tell the difference between it, tap water, and other brands on the market.
The thing about Dasani is it tastes the same — and good — no matter what part of the country you buy it in. I also like Aquafina which seems similarly uniform.
