The label on Aquafina water bottles will soon be changed to spell out that the drink comes from the same source as tap water, the brand's owner PepsiCo said Friday. A group called Corporate Accountability International has been pressuring bottled water sellers to curb what it calls misleading marketing practices.... Sales of bottled water has been a growing source of revenue for companies such as PepsiCo, based in Purchase, N.Y., and Atlanta-based Coca-Cola as they lessen their dependence on sales of traditional carbonated sodas, as consumer concern over health issues has weakened demand. |
If it's labeled as water, where do you think it came from?
Worked in the bottled water industry for a good chunk of a decade (contain your jealousy, please) and I always preferred purified over spring water. Spring tends to be much more inconsistent, overly soft and by its nature has a higher percentage of total dissolved solids (tds) - AND most spring water is well water, there is no regulation that it has to come from an actual bubbling spring.
Worked for Great Bear Spring Water from 88-94, and Dasani tastes almost exactly like the Great Bear purified I loved (which came from the Teterboro municipal source.)
