New Disney themed Dasani water bottles

[wdwmomof3]

We got several of these last week and I didn't keep one of them. :hammer: I thought that they were cute. It's just another touch of the Disney touch that I love.

Like the Tink...would prefer the used Aquafina....not much diff but I can't figure why Dasani goes through the effort of processing tap water through a reverse osmosis system and then adds Pottasium Chloride and something else back in...."for taste".....:lookaroun....did read about Dasani in Europe having a prob with its bottlers somewhere. But as one cannot tote a weeks supply of their own water about easily and keep it cold, I will be sporting a Dasani myself. Hey really folks, much more crud in any soft drink than bottled water health wise.

LOL thanks for the correction! Think that is the first time I have ever typed Tinker Bell, and clearly, I cant spell!

:lol:

I was just being a pest.

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

this water has been banned in the UK for being carcinogenic!
i hope disney know what they are doing selling it!
ps i thought it was Tinker Bell im sure some one calls her Ms bell in peter pan

It wasnt banned, it was withdrawn from sale because Coke had to admit it was tap water, and there was public out rage.

Just like Peckham Springs

Dasani is a Coke product, Disney has a no competition contract with Coke...it is what it is. No Aquafina. :shrug:

still, not as funny as the chandelier episode :wave:

and yes - it was pulled by coke once people caught onto the fact its bottled tap water. Apparently extras were found in the water if i can remember rightly.

Cool, thanks for the picture.

Have they repackaged the drinking fountain water? This is the product I consume at WDW, and it would be unthinkable that they give bottled water drinkers something new while leaving us conservationists with nothing. Where's your conscience, Disney?!

I was a Sales Manager for Coca Cola when I helped launch Dasani in Florida.

I remember at the initial meetings that after coming up with the name we had to do massive research to make sure the word Dasani didnt mean anything in ANY lanaguage any where in the world.

I remember the huge process Coke had to deal with with doing a contract amendment to add Dasani to Disney Parks.The old contract allowed Disney to sell any water it wanted including Zephyrhills since coke had no water unless you count the regional water each division distributed locally .

The contract was only for the parks-Pepsi had the contract with Disney Quest-not sure if that has changed-no longer with Coke.

Wait......wait......wait....

Bam!!!!!

Post 1000 Baby!!!!!!!

[Texas84]

Great. Something else to collect. :animwink:

 

[phenom1307]

I hope they come out with some different character designs as well.

TDL was selling bottled water with Disney labels -- I got one with Mickey as the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

I also got weird looks from airport security when they went through my carry-on bag and saw the empty water bottle. The screener could see that the bottle was empty, but was nevertheless somewhat suspicious (probably because she had never seen someone bother to take an empty plastic bottle with them onto a flight).

They still use zephyrhills extensively backstage. Little bit of irony.
