Dasani (pron.: /dəˈsɑːni/) is a brand of bottled water from the Coca-Cola company, launched in 1999, after the success of Aquafina (produced by Coca-Cola-rival PepsiCo). It is one of many brands of Coca-Cola bottled water sold around the world.

 

In 2010, in a bid to counteract falling sales and bans on bottled water, The Coca-Cola Company announced they would be distributing Dasani water in new packaging made of 30% plant based materials. Unlike other plant-based packaging, the bottles are compatible with standard recycling plants and represent up to a 25% reduction in carbon emissions when compared to standard water bottles (though this still represents 2000 times the energy usage of tap water).

The Dasani brand includes flavored water, which use the sweetener sucralose (sold under the Tate & Lyle brand name "Splenda") as a sweetener. The flavors are lemon, grape, raspberry, and strawberry. The flavored varieties are sold as 20 fluid ounce bottles, 500 ml 6-packs, and 12 oz 8-packs.

 

The new Plus+ product line is similar to the flavored variety, only differing in the fact that these have added vitamins and some different flavors Pomegranate-Blackberry, Orange-Tangerine, Kiwi-Strawberry, and Lemon-Lime flavors. Dasani Plus comes in a 12 oz bottle.
