Commentary On CBS News By Candace Choi

The general argument made by Candace Choi in her article on CBS News, is that the consumption of water has increased due to the flavored drops, along with the idea that the drops will impact the other Coca- Cola products selling amount. More specifically, Choi argues that many of the flavored packets that you put in your waters have been influencing and, in a way, forcing them to buy a bottled water. Also, with Choi states that many of the other Coca- Cola products would be affected by the increase of the Dasani Drops. She states, “Overall consumption of bottled water has also been growing, although at a much slower pace than in the early 2000’s…”(p2, p14.) In this passage Choi is suggesting that the water consumption has increased with the rise of the flavored [packets you put into your waters. She also argues, “The drops may hurt Coca- Cola’s other units, however.” (p2, p15). In this statement she is saying that the Dasani Drops will affect the other products income of money. In conclusion, Choi’s belief is that The Dasani Drops will increase the amount of water intake, but it will decrease the amount of money intake for other Coca- Cola products.

More specifically, I believe that many people just drink water because they have the fruity, or any flavored, packets by them on the go so that they're water will taste more enjoyable then having it plain. For example, Mrs. Moon, my English teacher, enjoys the taste of the flavored packets in her water because she likes it more than the bland taste of water. Although Choi might object that water is bland, and that most people enjoy the packet in their water, I maintain the idea in my head that most people enjoy the fruity flavors in their drinks. Therefore, I conclude that flavors in your water are more desirable than bland
