dasani
Have you ever looked at the list of ingredients on a bottle of dasani water?
1) Purified water
2) why is there a number 2 ingredient?!? What idiot at company headquarters tasted purified water and said, "I think we can make this taste more like water?"
2) Magnesium sulfate
3) Potassium chloride
4) Salt*
* Adds a negligible amount of sodium. (I swear, this disclaimer was taken right off of the bottle)
Have you ever tasted something and said "needs more potassium chloride." I suppose I should be thankful that Dasani is actually admitting that there's something else in their water besides water, but in this instance, knowing isn't half the battle. It's gross. Also, how does salt add a negligible amount of sodium without there being a negligible amount of salt? The fact that there are 0mg of sodium printed on the label means that there are 0mg OF SODIUM IN THE WATER! Except that someone, in their infinite wisdom decided to put enough salt to list in the ingredients, but not enough salt to list in the sodium intake column. And I don't even want to know what Magnesium sulfate does for me, or my water.
