Dasani!!! Always makes me laugh, they really messed up with that in the UK:

Dasani was launched in the UK on 10 February 2004. The product launch was labelled "a disaster",[5] a "fiasco"[6] and a "PR catastrophe".[6]

Early advertisements referred to Dasani as "bottled spunk" or featured the tagline "can't live without spunk". These slogans were used seemingly oblivious to the fact that spunk is slang for semen in the UK.[7][8]

Prior to the launch, an article in The Grocer trade magazine had mentioned that the source of the Dasani brand water was in fact treated tap water from Sidcup, a suburban development in London. By early March 2004, the mainstream press had picked up on the story[9] and it became widely reported that Sidcup tap water was being treated, bottled and sold under the Dasani brand name in the UK.[5] Although Coca-Cola never implied that the water was being sourced from a spring or other natural source, they marketed it as being especially "pure". This led the Food Standards Agency to request Hillingdon trading standards officers to launch an investigation into whether the claim was accurate.[10]

Richard May, Chief Publicity Officer of Dasani, was said to be disappointed that the water had not been more successful.

The media made mocking parallels with an episode of the well-known BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, in which protagonist Del Boy attempts to pass off local tap water as bottled "Peckham Spring".[5] Del's scheme fails when he pollutes the local reservoir, causing the bottled water to glow yellow.
On 18 March 2004, UK authorities found a concentration of bromate, a suspected human carcinogen, in the product that could be considered harmful if consumed in large quantities. Coca-Cola immediately recalled half a million bottles and pulled the "Dasani" brand from the UK market.[11] Shortly after, plans to introduce the brand to Continental Europe were announced to have been cancelled as well. Bromate was not present in the water before Coca-Cola's treatment process. During that process the bromate was produced from the water's bromide.

Coca-Cola intended to launch Dasani in France and Germany, although this never went ahead after bad publicity in the United Kingdom.

I suppose the blood you drink counts towards your daily intake.

I only buy the brand for the bottle. Then I just refill it with good ol' tap water that's probably from the Hudson.

do they still have those labels that shed blue paint flecks into your hand as you hold the bottle? That always really annoyed me.

I try so many times to drink more water but not easy
i can go on without it all day with just having some coffee and tea ..
even when i feel thirty i can not drink again

when i don't drink water i try to have more tea i make the tea as week as i can just so i can have some water

usually i have a glass of water and this is a small glass

 

[pinkporridge]

Anytime I make my self a drink I take a mouthful put it down and forget a about it. Rarely finish it.

I'm with you girls on the first page. I just naturally don't drink much. I've tried to up my intake but it doesn't work, my body rejects it and won't swallow- literally. My doctor said as long as my pee is light yellow to clear, I'm properly hydrated. So that's what I go by.

 

[AstriaPorta]

i don't know how some people can have a lot of water example my husband have a lot just in one go he can have 3 glasses of water ..imagine how many all day

Ii cut almost all the drinks i have some coke and lemonade sometimes only and have cut down the coffee too a lot .. like i mention before i don't make the tea strong either so hope all this help
i will like to be able to have 4 glasses a day it is much better of what i have now

The last time I was drinking that much, I was getting headaches too. Eating something salty helped me. I'd fry up tortillas into chips.

I know I'm not drinking enough now, but something is out of whack with our filter. I can taste it. I can also tell you which water comes from the tap, the Brita or a select few bottled brands. I'm sure my being picky has a lot to do with not drinking water. Most of it is just downright nasty.

I drink alot of water - so much that I'm constantly running to the bathroom. :/

 

[retro]

I drink over a gallon of water every day. lol. I have a 24oz bottle that I refill about 3-4 times during the day at work, and then I have one at home that I refill at least another 3-4 times in the evening. It's pretty much all I drink though, I'll flavor it sometimes with some Gatorade low calorie powder or crystal light.

I don't really drink period though. Not just water. This is why I'm trying to make my self do it. It's 6pm and I've managed just over a litre

 

[jassilem]

I have something to drink all day.. I start with milk, then coffee a few bottles of water and a a couple diet colas thrown in.. I am always running off to the washroom too.

I used to drink pretty much NO water...but now I drink at least 32 ounces during my workouts and then more throughout the day. Just to clarify, though, it doesn't count as "drinking water" unless it's just water...doesn't count if you're drinking tea or even if you're drinking water w/ flavor packets in it.

I havent drank anything other than water in the last 5 months. Its that srs.
