Aquafina bottled water’s image seems designed to evoke purity. The label features an orange sun peeking out from behind a mountain range, the product description reads “purified drinking water” and the back states that it is “bottled at the source.”
So it came as a surprise to some customers when they found out that the source in question is no pristine mountain stream but a public water source. In other words, Aquafina is purified tap water, as its manufacturer, PepsiCo Inc., announced in 2007.
