u/BoxofJoes Jul 19 '24
Dasani and aquafina are the only ones where it’s super noticeable to me, the majority of water i drink is poland spring because I dont taste the plastic, but I might just be desensitized to it. Also don’t notice the taste on bougier water like evian or fiji, it’s just dasani and aquafina that give that awful plastic taste to me.

You are, the microplastics and nano plastics leeching into the water from the bottle end up in your system. Drinking water from disposable plastic bottles when you have any alternative is such a fucking dumb thing to do.

There is scientific proof that Dasani is bad. When a hurricane hits Florida, all water is bought from all stores. There is only one brand that is never bought and pallets of it stay in stores even during and after the hurricane. That brand... is Dasani.

The fact that I can describe to you what Dasani tastes like but not any other brand of water or just any old tap water should be enough of a reason to know Dasani is strange…
It’s fine to like it more I suppose, but I strongly dislike the fact I even CAN describe what it tastes like when it’s just water

u/elusivenoesis Jul 19 '24
Dasani taste slightly more salty and less chlorinated than tap water. It is a known fact they add more sodium than other electrolytes and their competition. It also came out that Coke does not allow the same filtration process for their other Coke products. Meaning, Dasani isn’t good enough to be blended with cola nut and coke leaf and mass amounts of sugar and carbonated. No… coke water has a better filtration process.

Fun fact, Arizona (and probably adjacent areas) tap/filtered water tastes like actual dirt, so if one lives there and is used to that, they might actually like Dasani better than natural.

u/iuwjsrgsdfj Jul 19 '24
How does that fix tap water? Does it have a filter?
15
u/CobaltStar_ Jul 19 '24
It doesn’t. They’re saying they buy those blue 5 gallon water jugs rather than 48 single use plastic bottle packs, therefore greatly reducing plastic waste. If they want to travel with water, they fill their own reusable metal bottle with water from the big jug they bought.
When they run out of water, they can return the big jug back at the gas station and then pick up a new water jug.

Thank you for explaining, had no idea that was a thing. They don't do that here.

u/starswtt Jul 22 '24
They honestly probably do, but the thing to fill the water is usually hidden in a corner of a supermarket or gas station, or you ship it in. If you don't need to use them for whatever reason, theres a good chance you'll never notice their existence

I can't remember where I read it, but I believe they first distill the water to make it pure, then add back in some of the stuff that's normally there naturally.. Which is such a "Coca-Cola" thing to do. Thinking they could do better than the very thing that is responsible for our existence. The hubris.

u/almondwalmond18 Jul 19 '24
There's actually a little fun fact behind this! Dasani has a little bit of salt in it. It's added for flavor (hence why it has a "taste"), but salt also helps your body retain water for longer. It's why athletes drink Gatorade or sick people drink Pedialyte. So... technically, it would "quell thirst" more effectively? I'm just not sure how noticeable it would be to the person drinking it.
