The internet is abuzz with the “revelation” that Aquafina and Dasani are tap water.
I thought that was common knowledge. The label says “purified.” Maybe it’s not written out in so many words, but if it was spring water, it would say spring water.

actually, my thing isn’t so much about a big companies weaselling incredible profits off a concocted fear by implying like hell they’ve got a product that’s better than the stuff falling out your tap (i’m no marketing genius, but putting dasani “purified” is better than dasani “tap water” imho). my thing is about the bs of the whole industry in the general. Come on, folks, gulp it down, the (tap) water’s fiiiine.
Folk will still buy Aquafina and Dasani because it’s chic to be seen carrying a bottle of water.
It was a word game that you don’t catch unless you are educated to parse the lines of advertisement.
this all takes me back to when people first started drinkin evian. the running joke was, “what do you get when you spell evian backwards? naive.”
oh, ave, would that all minds were as discerning as yern. i’ve got university edumacated friends who’ve bought into the municipal water hype. i mean, it’s gotten so that you better have some bottled water in your fridge for when guests come over cuz tap water be frowned on by some (too many).
a “scandal” like this might help pop that bogeyman.
