Does anyone know what is wrong with dasani water? (just curious, I don’t buy bulk water)
The threaded cap is really short. Hard to open. Also relatively expensive.
Nothing wrong with it. It's just plain ole water packaged so you'll pay more.
I have never tried it but I have read it is tap water. Perhaps someone else can provide more information.
Price!
I like their small bottles because they are heavier plastic and don't collapse in your hand. Some bottled water bottles are so thin that they feel like they're going to tear apart when you twist the lid.
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.
Price, as another Freeper said. Dasani is more expensive than the store brand or economy brands.
To its credit, Dasani tastes better IMO. It’s not just tap water. Coca Cola owns the Dasani brand and their food scientists have fine tuned the taste by adding some sodium and calcium salts. It says so on the labeling. Contrary to what you might expect, the best tasting water isn’t pure H2O but has a tiny amount of dissolved minerals.
Yes. It is fake water. It is what is left over after water is filtered to remove all impurities, and after evaporating them. Dasani is like air. There's nothing there.
For me, the problem is it’s owned by CocaCola.
Same with Aquafina being owned by Pepsi
The second problem is that both are made from PLAIN TAP WATER ...
And the are commercially processed to make them more refined...as in they are not naturally sourced.
CA....
AFAIK, it means that Coke drinkers are WAY smarter than Pepsi dweebs. Dasani is a Coke product, Aquafina is Pepsi.
It should be fine. Maybe it’s overpriced. It’s a Coca-Cola brand. I’m sure it’s the same filtered water that they use as a base for all of their products.
“ Does anyone know what is wrong with dasani water?”
It is just municipal tap water bottled by the Coca Cola Company.
On the Walmart website right now, a 24-pack of Dasani water is $4.48 so that’s 18.7 cents per bottle.
The store brand Great Value water is $2.86 for 40 bottles, so that’s 7.1 cents for the same size bottle.
Both are said to be “flavor enhanced” with minerals. I have tried neither.
For perspective, in a convenience store, bottles of water (any brand) are $1.00-$1.50.
As for the bottles themselves, I have noticed that once empty, dogs love to chew on them.
Dasani is produced by Coca-Cola and is basically NYC tap water. I couldn’t find this to document it, but that’s what I was told long ago. We used to get it free at work.
I liked it because it tasted like what I was used to.
Always have avoided it on the possibility that it is bottled in Pakistan or Yemen... Snicker...
OTOH, the biggest source of bottled water are the wells in Michiganistan...
So, it's almost a case of: Pick your poison...
You’ve probably had answers but here is one:
Dasani is a brand of bottled water created by the Coca-Cola Company,
launched in 1999,[1] after the success of PepsiCo’s Aquafina. It is
one of many brands of Coca-Cola bottled water sold around the world.
The product is tap water, filtered and bottled, with added sodium.
