I'm a little late with this, but better late than never. From
The Boston Phoenix:
An odd press conference took place last week in Post Office Square as a man claiming to be an executive at a soft-drink giant touted “a new era for Coca-Cola,” in which its Dasani bottled water will be labeled “Deception.” Of course, it wasn’t actually a Coca-Cola executive or a real press conference (despite the fake journalists asking fake questions), but activist street theater perpetrated by the guerrilla prankster collective the Yes Men.
The mock press conference, part of Boston-based Corporate Accountability International’s (CIA) Think Outside the Bottle campaign, protested Coca-Cola’s refusal to state Dasani’s origin — public water sources — on its labels, as Pepsi and Nestlé have done with their bottled-water brands.
“This is a classic case of deception,” said Mike Bonanno (a/k/a Igor Vamos), in town that day with main cohort Andy Bichlbaum (né Jacques Servin) for the opening of The Yes Men Fix the World at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. “They don’t want people to know that they’re drinking tap water because it’s pure profit. Basically, they’ve figured out such a great scam that they don’t want it to end.”

I drink a lot of bottled water and always avoid that brand
It just doesn't taste that good.

In the UK, spunk is slang for semen.
Far more threatening is the behaviour of bottled water sales people here in this city - http://www.bigfm.co.nz/News-Archive/Warning-goes-out-on-door-to-door-bottled-water-sales-in-Manukau/tabid/61/articleID/5048/cat/1/Default.aspx -
(I formerly lived in Gilbert Arizona. The tap water there was absolutely awful. It's so hard you can see stuff in it. The water in Tucson was also terrible. The water when I lived in SW Oklahoma City was unsafe to drink due to algae in the pipes--it smelled like swamp water.)
