Dasani is Coca-Cola's bottled water brand that apparently sells well in some markets. By using a new filteration technique similar to that used in cell function or dialysis the water is cleaned and minerals added.
Unfortunately on the UK market the product showed traces of bromate, a carcinogen, and was quickly withdrawn whilst it's original debate, it's oustanding price was still ongoing.
More expensive than many of it's competitors', and since this is just filtered tap water, not a good marketing ploy in a country with potable tap water.
Since other Coca-Cola ingredients such as caffeine, caramel, phosphoric acid and aspartame are seperately linked to issues including brain cancer, memory loss and decalcification of teeth and the fact they already produce Buxton water in a similary industrial enviroment, I'd say their long-term reputation for expensive sugar water and the like will not be harmed.

Get the Dasani mug.Very stylish anime set in a future where the boundaries between the virtual and real worlds are blurred, and hence the concept of existence too.
In this world where bodies are interchangable you are generally considered a person if you have a "ghost line"; special code that cannot be artifically created.
The comic discussed different kinds of intelligence and had a fair amount of political commentary. The final appendix opened the very real idea that major Kusanagi, the lead role, must have died along time ago by being copied.
Heavily influenced by Bladerunner, the first ever Cyberpunk novel and arguably the first ever science fiction novel.

Get the Ghost in the Shell mug.Having a memory involving something dark and repressed and sweating profusely whilst you wonder just who else knows.
A free floating fear or anxiety that will latch onto just about anything.

Get the paranoia mug.The Pinball song from Sesame Street is scientifically proven to be the best song in the world, teaching kids counting and rhythm, funk and awe.
The second best would be the Number Song by Dj Shadow.

Ever notice how the repetitive 30 second spots between the rest of the show emulated adverts? In fact so much so that no-one's allowed to advertise during Sesame Street.

Get the Beat Down mug.Monkey's near rhyming slang for skunk: strong marijuana buds.
Good monkey has little crystals of pollen falling from it. The pollen sticks to plastic, so you shouldn't really store it in baggies.

Get the monkey mug.Aw, man. I fell asleep in a meeting with the director today, I so don't know how I didn't get sacked. It was a total Kevin Spacey.
