Anonymous Coward User ID: 2309237 Canada 01/27/2013 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My wife insists on buying water from those refill stations at the supermarket. I joke that they probably are connected to a hose in a sink in the back. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22958406 She doesn't appreciate my sense of humor sometimes. I live in Calgary, Alberta and a few years back the health region shut down several of the grocery store machines due to bacteria contamination. They said in our local news that it measured dirtier than public toilets. The shocking part it was different chains across the city and even into a small town called Ardrie. They said that the grocers were not cleaning them enough and that the general public contaminated the machines by touching outside parts. I can't remember everything that they found, but the one that stuck out most to me was the fecal matter. |

omar User ID: 32896375 United Kingdom 01/27/2013 06:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Coca-Cola has no wells. I've done work for Coca Cola, they use the local municipality water. In all honesty, it wouldn't make a difference. They just filter what the local municipality provides and it would still be the same water if they filtered from a well.

I could write novels about the dangers of bottled water but I'll spare you the details. Quoting: John Donson 32359513 Buy yourself an under-the-counter 5 stage reverse osmosis system for your drinking water. You can probably find one for $150-$200. It'll pay for itself in no time and will last at least 5 years, but I've seen some that'll last 15 years.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 10600600 United States 01/27/2013 08:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Coca-Cola has to purify their water prior to makeing cola with it and this is just the purified water. .... ie, Filtered tap water in a clear bottle with a label. The part I always laughed about was the price of the water only is more expensive then the cola which is the water with sugar and carmel coloring added. |

Kybeam User ID: 27604421 United States 01/27/2013 08:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Purified tap water, watch the video. If it says "spring water" it is trucked in and purified. Other wise it's city water. [link to premiumwaters.com] |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 20421804 United States 01/27/2013 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, indeed. Coca Cola used to bottle some Dasani water at a plant down the road from me, in rural Gilchrist county Florida. The water was ACTUALLY pumped from a beautiful source called Ginnie Springs. After the FDA loosened the definition of "purified" water a few years back, Coke closed the spring water plant and just started bottling tap water in Atlanta. The plant has just been re-opened by a Canadian company, but I don't know what they call their product. There is a good documentary about water and where we are headed in the future called We Are Water. www.WeAreWaterProject.com |
