CONSUMER PRESSURE FORCES BOTTLED WATER COMPANY TO TELL THE TRUTH
July 27, 2007 8:55 pm
PepsiCo Inc, the maker of Aquafina, bottled water with the attractive label showing off snow-capped mountains, will print clearly on the label that Aquafina comes directly from tap water. There isn’t a drop of spring water in Aquafina. If there were you would be paying a higher price for the product.
PepsiCo’s main rival for the fifteen billion dollar bottled water market is the Coca-Cola Co. Coca-Cola Co has 1/5 of the entire U.S. bottle water market with its Dasani brand. Dasani bottled water comes from the taps of many cities including Marietta, Georgia. The Cola-Cola, Co. doesn’t keep this information from their water drinking public.
The bottled water drinking population should remember they are paying for water from city taps, which could include Buffalo. Now the bottled water you’re drinking might taste very familiar.
