I'm guessing that the topic of "purified water" (that is, bottled tap water with some extra additives) and the Coke Dasani (Aquafina) Flop in the UK won't be discussed? Or will they? Because that would make me tune in. I'd love to know if Lexis PR managed to do anything to stop the big cancer scare over the purified tap water Coke calls Aquafina/Dasani.
Comparing actual mineral water to bottled tap water is a bit like comparing a Stilton to Velveeta, but I guess they only spoke about their advertising strategies which is the same same all over. ;)
