hahahaha yeah I heard about this on the news! Suckers! I'll stick with my Brita filtered water thankyou very much! *sticks nose in air*

[Oldbushie]

So *that's* why Dasani always had a strange aftertaste!

I rarely drink it, but sometimes it's my only choice for water...

[Say]

do you really drink it?!, do not drink it... seriously hahaha when there are news like these you should -by all means- if you dont rather believe anything said, give it the benefit of doubt, its certainly not a kiddies story anyways, they lost millions on the process and they are taking it out of the market... so there is some truth to it.

[Jeysie]

Really, Bushie? There's a bunch of different water brands available where I am... Dasani is one, but Pacific Springs and Aquafina are popular too, plus some ittier brands I don't recall off-hand. (Adirondack is also popular, but that's just an NY State/Western MA brand, AFAIK.) Harrison drinks a lot of Aquafina since he needs to cart water around all the time for his singing stuff, but I just stick to our trusty Brita filter.

You can always just drink soda or juice if you're on the go and need a drink... just stay away from that diet stuff, fake sugar's not really good for you either. If you regularly need liquid, just cart around some Juicy Juice drink boxes or sports bottles with water or something. They might get a little warm, but warm water and juice usually aren't too bad to drink. (Warm soda, unfortunately, is usually pretty nasty tasting. )

they didnt even had time to expand that far because it didnt reach South America yet, and it was a complete fiasco  

This is seriously odd, Coke has a much better bussiness field research than Pepsi or any other food company related!, its truly odd how can they freaking made such a bad move lol, shame on them! and I sort of looked up to them, this is a sad day for me

[Drunken Chinchilla]

Yeah its only just launched this year in the UK so I don't think they'll ever try to launch water here again hehe unless of course they do it under a different name. Also thinking about this maybe theres a different standard of water here compared to other parts of the world? That amount of Bromite (??) may be acceptable somewhere else but not in the UK. I hardly ever buy bottled water though, a true rip off if ever there was one but if your thirsty and faced with drinking another bottle of tango I suppose its quite convienient. I like Volvic water the best, the adverts make me laugh.

[Oldbushie]

I love filtered water, especially the kind we have at home. Too bad I can't afford one for the campus apartment as it is really expensive, but it is the kind you put on your faucet and it filters really well! Costs like $50 for the filter alone though.

Dasani seems to be the kind my family buys, mostly for trips and stuff, I've tried to tell them that it sucks but they won't listen. Dasani and a lot of other bottled water tastes like soap when it gets warm, I'm not sure why... probably it's the "cleansers" they use.

[copycat]

'Spa' source water (with added sparkles ).
Besides, our tap water is perfectly drinkable too, too bad it doesn't have sparkles though.

[Jeysie]

Bushie: Just get a Brita filter. They're not that expensive, and while they're a little less convenient they still do the trick.

As for the soapy thing... part of it might be the plastics in the bottle as well. I remember for a barbershop concert they had Nestle bottled water at the afterglow, and man, was it nasty. Had the same sort of taste when you accidentally get soapy bath water in your mouth... yuck.

Yes, we have one of those pitchers, works fine. Still not an expert filter, but it beats lousy tap water.

[Drunken Chinchilla]

I love Brita water. It always tastes ever so slightly sweet and fresh when our hard tap water goes through it. Oh yeah do people in the US have flouride added to their water? We do here still but theres this big thing about it being dangerous and stuff. Like Dasani hehe.

[Jeysie]

Depends on the community, some places did, some didn't. (I remember the dentist telling my parents to have me take flouride supplements as a kid 'cause our water didn't.) It's possible that nobody does it anymore at this point, though.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[B'rrr]

your really handy B'rrr , also B'rrr when linking to a page on the forum how do you make it link to half way down the page instead of the top

...don't know about the handy part ; /

about linking to half way down the page; I had that question too, so I asked Yonkey ; ) ...he said that you have to post the messagenumber where you want to refer to. The best/easiest way to get to getthe messagenumber is to quote the post you want to refer to and then copy the reference to that post: ie. your messagereference is: #msg25560

just paste it behind the normal link of the page: http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=902;start=0

...and you are finished ; )
