[USMA:32588] RE: Dasani spring water

Apparently the reason for it's withdrawal was because of it being 
contaminated with bromate, which is a carcinogen at sufficiently high 
levels. This was about a year go.

There was great controversy with Dasani water in the UK.
Turns out they were filtering tap water in Sidcup and filling the plastic 
bottles!

I believe that Dasani never returned to our shelves after that.
Someone should check out and see what the source of Dasani is in the USA!

I just visited a Coca-Cola vending machine that has those mock beverage 
cans as selection buttons. The buttons for Dasani brand spring water were 
labeled only "300 mL." Period. For a moment, I had thought that the FPLA 
amendment had been enacted (grin).
