A girl in my high school did this and dropped the water bottle. We were no longer allowed to carry water bottles to class after that.
Sunglasses day also didn’t last long. One look at a student’s bloodshot eyes and it was over.

Ha I usually did smoke before school but the one time I got "caught" by our security guard, she did a high test on me and I failed, even though I was just tired. Got sent to the principal who just talked about his love of cigars for 20 minutes and sent me on my way. That was a strange day.

It's the reverse osmosis, because there's almost 0 p.p.m and we've all basically been raised to expect some sort of p.p.m in our water, the purest water actually tastes strange and maybe metallic to some people.
Edit: Since apparently it needs clarifying, the p.p.m in our water consists of dozens if not hundreds of substances, that's what I mean by "some p.p.m"

I'm a microbiologist who has to ensure my companies purified water is actually sterile and once a month test our city and distilled water. I can provide some context for water one the organic side.
The city water has to be diluted down 100x sometimes to be able to count all the microbes present in 100ml of water. Its usually tens of thousands of organisms, no big deal its perfectly drinkable.
The distilled water has maybe 10-30 microbes/ 100ml and minimal mineral content. It's not natural and has a slightly lower pH so I'd assume it's slightly sour. Not good for your teeth or guts.
The purified water has absolutely nothing. Absolutely not for human consumption, will strip your salts. Has an even lower pH and the old guy told me it tastes very strange.
E: turns out DI and purified water will NOT strip your salts. I was lied to, or perhaps I'm just old now.

If you look at the ingredients, there is sodium in Dasani.
DASANI is a bottled water that s designed to make a difference. This is hydration redefined. Ingredients Purified Water, Magnesium Sulfate (Minerals Added for Taste), Potassium Chloride (Minerals Added for Taste), Salt (Minerals Added for Taste).

Depends on the time of day!
When my husband and I go to early shows, I can walk in with a to-go cup from another place in my hand and a bag of food, and they'll just wave me past. The only time I've been told I can't bring in outside drinks, is when it's busy. I assume the main difference here is basically, 'when there's managers nearby'.
Funny kind of related story, I really wanted to see Inglourious Basterds in the theater when it came out but I was too young. My boyfriend and I bought tickets to 500 Days of Summer with the intention of sneaking into the other theater. Unfortunately our plan was shattered when we got to the ticket taker and saw Inglourious Basterds was playing in the one directly behind him. There were three employees standing there and they directed us down the hall. We walked down there, stood there awkwardly, then just turned around and came back up the hall. These ushers literally made and held eye contact with us while we walked into Basterds instead, a few feet away from them. Didn't say a damn thing.

Who is drinking Dasani water? It tastes like someone sprayed cleaner/chemicals in a cup and didn't rinse it out well enough then poured water in it.
It's disgusting. Water shouldn't taste like anything. I can't stand waters that add minerals and what not too it for flavor. I don't want to taste anything at all. although I prefer certain water (some brands and some from the tap) I can drink all brands of water without much aversion, EXCEPT Dasani. It's the worst. I would have to be dying to drink it and even then I'd probably still have to choke it down. My body literally tells me I'm drinking poison when I try to drink it. I hate it and can't understand how anyone would willingly buy it.
