    Coca-Cola has admitted it is selling purified tap water in a bottle!

    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.

        What's the problem? as long as it passes the purification process.

                          Never. All they do is purify it and then add some minerals to it. Costs about 6 cents to make and distribute one bottle.

                              i heard several years ago that Coca Cola thought the biggest threat from their business came from mineral water, so now they started selling tap water lol

                                I was watching a program a couple years ago about bottled water. From what they said, all this spring water etc. does not have to pass the high testing levels of municipal water. They tested a whole bunch of bottled water samples and in the end, the municipal water was actually more pure than the bottled water. I don't know if things have changed since then, but I rarely drink bottled water anymore after seeing the program.

                                                You do realize most of the amercian bottled waters are tap water don't you? If you take a close look a lot of them even say they come from a municipal water supply. There's not much of a difference from your tap water, unless your tap water tastes like shit locally and mine does.
