...the market today as well as priciest, with good taste. Aquafina water which is the product of Coca-Cola, and of course the main competitor of Dasani, is also good tasting water. However, Aquafina water is cheaper than Dasani water by comparison on the market today. As I researched Dasani and Aquafina I found more interesting facts based off the differences in quality of the product. The general concern with water focuses on chlorine, arsenics, pesticides, lead, and herbicides. When testing for these substances, as well as other solids tests are measured by TDS (total dissolved solids) in the water. The FDA requires that bottled water have a total TDS reading of 000-010 ppm. Dasani water tested at 23 ppm. Aquafina tested at 2 ppm and is considered the cleanest and purest bottled water on the market today, clearly beating Dasani in this category as well. (Dean Iodice, January 9, 2012) Product Packaging Dasani water bottles are clear bottles with a blue label, white lettering in the logo, and a blue or green lid. Its competitor, Aquafina, also comes in clear bottles with a blue label and white lettering in the logo, but has a white lid. The shapes of the bottles are the primary difference between these two products. The Dasani bottle models a sleek design that shows consumers the brand is sophisticated. The lettering in the Dasani logo is also very sleek and wavy (Dasani, n.d.). Compared to its competitor, Aquafina bottles...

My husband is Asian and he refuses to let go of some of the Asian food items he loves. For example, he has to have bok choy instead of green cabbage from right here. Rice is another issue for us. It has to be jasmine rice from a South East Asian country. He swears there is a difference. In my opinion, it all tastes the same….bland. List all of the components of two of your meals. Meal 1: For breakfast I had eggs, Conecuh sausage, peaches, and iced sweet tea.

...beginning the experiment, except for small disparities due to human error that may have occurred during the experiment. As stated in the USGS, of our four water samples, Nick’s sample from State College, PA. should have had the highest concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, making it the hardest water, yet it wasn’t. A reason as to why it wasn’t maybe that his sample had to be diluted two times in order to be able to read by the AA spectrophotometer. The hardness of water for the state of Pennsylvania gets harder as you move more and more west, and State College is in the middle so it is understandable for it to be slightly hard (17.1 – 60 ppm). On the other hand, Ki Wun’s Aquafina bottled water sample was in fact the softest sample due to the filtering processes the water goes through in the Aquafina bottle factory. For my water sample and Courtney’s water sample, I hypothesized that my sample would be much harder than her’s, but they quite similar, in fact much more than expected. Our ppm values only varied by 0.5 ppm. In theory, the overall order from hardest to softest water that I hypothesized would be corrected, yet because Nick had to dilute his concentration, his sample ended up being the third hardest water sample instead of the first. Nick’s water sample had 120 ppm based on the EDTA titration, yet for the AA his value was 54.8 ppm. Courtney’s EDTA titration results were 100 ppm, while her AA results were 64.3 ppm. My water sample EDTA results were 160 ppm, and AA...

...Hi Tavares, this is not the first time Pepsi Company is associated with unethical behavior. I can recall in year 2007 Pepsi was involved with false advertizing. Pepsi was selling its Aquafina brand of bottled water under the assumption that Aquafina is sourced from mountain spring water. Although the bottle itself did not have the words “spring water”, Pepsi used a great marketing gimmick to deceive consumers. Aquafina brand was sold in a bottle with a clean, blue label showing images of snow-capped mountains and the claim, "Pure water, perfect taste". That's the image created by PepsiCco's Aquafina brand of water, and many consumers leaped to the incorrect conclusion that Aquafina is sourced from mountain spring water. In reality, Aquafina comes from tap water, the same water we get when we turn on our kitchen faucet. Of course, Aquafina is filtered, purified and perhaps even enhanced with trace amounts of added minerals, but it's certainly not mountain spring water, it's just processed tap water, nothing more. PepsiCo only agreed to the truth on their bottled water labels after being pressured by Corporate Accountability International (CAI), a non-profit organization that helps protect consumers from corporate abuse. PepsiCo bottled water issue brought to light the apparent deceptive practices of some of the largest suppliers of bottled water products. By avoiding the honest labeling of the source of their water while relying on snow-capped mountain imagery, these companies...

...The Water Bottle Industry Markets Water is something that anyone around the world could get from the tap for free, but now it is all the rage for the beverage industry. Bottled water has become the industry's fastest growing segment, both in volume and profits. Due to the consumer's needs and wants for a healthier lifestyle, the beverage industry provides a necessary product to the consumers, which is bottled water. Water is essential and with the demand to participate in a healthy lifestyle, the water industry will be successfully profitable. The market size for this industry has been growing and will continue to grow in a rapid pace. Over the past ten years, bottled water has moved from being the preserve of a relatively small market into the U.S. mainstream, with sales of about $7.5 billion, and that's only for water in bottles of 1.5 liters or less (Durr). According to the International Bottle Water Association, Americans spend $5.6 billion in 2000 on bottled water. By 2005, Americans will consume 7.2 billion gallons of bottled water, up from about 5 billion gallons in 2000, the association reported. A factor that will continue to drive the bottled water market is foremost the desire to live a healthy lifestyle. Which leads to the concerns of contaminants found in the tap water. People will pay high prices for water, just to be ensured that it is safe to drink the water that they purchased. Drinking lots of water also prevents dehydration. According to the Bottled...

...are very heavy in companies such as Pepsi (Aquafina), and are positive indicators of the current [growth] stage in the product’s lifecycle. However, the bottled water industry is currently experiencing a skewing of profitability numbers (compared with last-year-to-date numbers) due to a shift in production from bulk to bottled water. A new and rapidly growing trend in the bottled water industry is the production of premium-priced “enhanced waters,” which competes on the product category level, and increases profits dramatically when purchased over traditional [non-premium] bottles of water. The aggressive advertising campaigns for bottled water and premium-priced “enhanced waters” coupled with health-related trends provide for a greater proportion of market-share for water companies who utilize their ability to expand their product line on the generic competition level. II. Four Types of Competition (& Competitors) for the Bottled Water Industry: Competition is the driving force in any and every industry. There are four different types of competition which, [each] in their own way, affect the sales of any given industry. This section of this paper will analyze the four different types of competition, and how each type affects the market share of the bottled water industry.
