SOMETHING IN THE WATER



Proof that there is some justice in the world. Coca-Cola gets its come-uppance for ripping off consumers by flogging bottled tap water at 85p a pop.

Half a million bottles of Dasani -- launched earlier this month amid claims that its NASA-tested filtration process made it "as pure as bottled water gets" -- are being recalled because they could contain high levels of the potentially carcinogenic chemical, bromate.

"Coca-Cola has indicated that the bromate was caused by its manufacturing process," sniffed a spokesman for Thames Water, whose H20 was being palmed off as "pure, still water."

A well-deserved PR disaster for Coke.
