No, the water can be redeemed if you baptize it, total immersion.

It works the same for sinners and molecules:

"For your heinous crimes Mr. Lizard, you are sentenced to death. You may choose between hanging, the electric chair, lethal injection or drinking a litre of Dasani."

"I choose the Dasani your Honour."

oddly enough I was reading about this the other day while researching the history of the electric chair. from wiki:

Electrocution is currently an optional form of execution in the U.S. states of Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and Virginia, and the sole method of execution in Nebraska (the former four states allow the prisoner to choose lethal injection as an alternative method). In the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, the electric chair has been retired except for those whose capital crimes were committed prior to legislated dates in 1998.. [Kentucky 31 March 1998, Tennessee 31 December 1998] and choose electrocution. In both states, inmates who do not choose electrocution or inmates who committed their crimes after the designated date are put to death by lethal injection. The electric chair is an alternate form of execution approved for potential use in Illinois and Oklahoma if other forms of execution are found unconstitutional in the state at the time of execution. In Florida, the condemned may choose death by electrocution, but the default is lethal injection.

All done to show the evils of alternating current......

All this talk about Dasani has made me thirsty, so I cracked open a refreshing Diet Vanilla Pepsi. Don't tell me what's in it -- I don't want to know!

Dasani contains that dangerous DHMO drug doesn't it?

About a year ago, we were having water supply problems at the store I work at (much of the plumbing was shut off for work, so we only had toilets and sinks in the washrooms), so we were bringing in water to drink. Most people brought in bottles, usually store brands from Jewel or Dominicks or wherever, and pooled them. But someone (I think it was my boss, as it's something she'd do) brought in two of those big five gallon containers with the spout on them. Of water that had been distilled with reverse osmosis, and had no minerals in it. Tasted very, very strange, and it didn't really quench your thirst either. Almost as if it wasn't "wet" enough. Didn't even make good tea, for Pete's sake.

I figure that whomever brought in distilled water to drink, instead of the clearly marked drinking water, just wasn't paying attention when they bought it.

By the by, I have a 20-ounce Dasani in my fridge. Is it safe to dispose of it down the sink, or should I take it to the place that takes my used motor oil?

You can also buy large quantities of potassium chloride at your local hardware store: potassium water softener tablets. You could probably lethally inject a lot of people with one of those!

Of course, one important difference is method of delivery. If I inject a big bubble of air into my blood supply, I risk death. If I gulp down a bit bubble of air, I'm gonna burp. If I breath in a lungful of air... I keep living.

Potassium chloride is dangerous in high doses. Such as leathal injection. However, Dasani depending on the bottle size only has 5 mg of potassium chloride. Potassium in most fruit comes from potassium chloride. A glass of orange juice has 450 mg, Gatorade regular has 30 mg, 1/8 of honeydew melon has 365 mg and a chocolate milk shake has 672 mg. If you have ever lived on well water not run through a city purification system you would understand the minerals give the water its taste.
