Coca-Cola is selling bottled tap water in the UK. The new brand, Dasani, is normal tap water which has been filtered, and is therefore 'pure'.
My local supermarket, Queens Isetan, offers filtered water for free. Many companies sell water purifiers for the home. Yet the Coca-Cola company of Atlanta Georgia is spending 7 million pounds promoting this 'new' product.
Bizarre.
