On a flight from LA to Chicago last night, I asked for water, and was given a can of Deja Blue, a brand of purified drinking water by Seven-Up, which presumably competes with Coke’s Dasani and Pepsi’s Aquafina. It seemed perfectly fine, though I’d never seen canned drinking water before other than some that Budweiser provided to earthquake victims (as they’re now doing for hurricane Katrina victims).

The odd part was the nutritional information. As was to be expected, it had no calories, no fat, no carbohydrates, etc. Everything was zero. For an eight ounce serving, of which the can contained TWO. Does the FDA really think that someone will open a can, drink eight ounces, and save the rest for later?
