Did anyone notice the product placement during Dennis?

While watching the Weather Channel yesterday I noticed that whenever they showed the obligatory scenes of people stocking up on water it was always Dasani water.

1. That is coca cola isn't it? Zephyrhills is much better.

7. Is it Coca-Cola ...

and they are based in Atlanta GA, so I can understand how that would be shown alot.

2. I buy Aquafina. DaSani sometimes.

3. This hurricane has been brought to you by Coke, the pause that refreshes

Kinda odd. That and I kept hearing people on tv saying they had to hurry up and get to Home Depot for some wood.

5. "We must have more wood."

4. Dasani and Aquafina aren't spring waters.

Unlike Zephyrhills, Poland Spring, Deer Park, Fiji, and many others.

Coke and Pepsi are cashing in on the bottled water 'thing' with overpriced filtered/purified tap water. Ugh.

And Trinity Water is the outrageous one out of Idaho that can't even be sold AS water, but as a mineral supplement. Damn it's good.

6. I buy what is at the store.

I like Fiji water but they don't sell it at my grocery store. I buy Aquafina. It tastes good. Sometimes I buy Ozarka which supposedly is from the Ozark springs!

11. Ozark Spring is good. I drink it when I visit the kid in KC

[Shell Beau]

12. I like it as well.

8. you know it's got to be happening

9. Unsurprising, but crass & sickening nonetheless.

Anything to get the company name out there. It really has nothing to do with charity, does it?

10. CNN on Sunday, the reporter kept repeating that he was staying

at a Best Western, Every sentence, I swear.

Matcom posted a similar thread yesterday, link on edit:

This cannot be an accident.

13. I'll have to pay more attention next time

Maybe we could compile a list of hurricane sponsors. This hurricane brought to you by Dasani, Best Western, Home Depot, and Strawberry Pop Tarts.

Funny thing was that the Weather Channel kep saying how they were COMMERCIAL FREE while the hurricane was coming to shore.

14. Well, I guess they made up their ad revenue, didn't they?

Good thing I barely ever watch the news these days.
