Cindy Ord / Getty Izithombe Ithegi yexabiso eliphakamileyo leCoca-Cola's Glaceau Smartwater inokukhokelela ekubeni ukholelwe ukuba ibhetele kunamanye amanzi, kunye nazo zineenkwenkwezi ezaziwayo njengoJennifer Aniston kunye noKylie Minogue bencedisa ekuqinisekiseni uluntu ngayo yonke loo nto. Ngoku ka BevNET , I-Smartwater ingene ngaphezulu kwe- $ 1 yezigidigidi kwintengiso yonyaka ngo-2015, kwaye iluphawu lwamanzi olunenzuzo kakhulu eCoca-Cola, ke kuyacaca ukuba banemali yohlahlo-lwabiwo mali oluninzi.
Kodwa kanye bakwazile njani ukwenza le mali ingako ngamanzi? Ewe, zikho izizathu ezimbalwa: Ngokwenkampani yokulinganisa amanzi Iqela leArad , I-avareji yeendleko zelitha yamanzi asebhotileni e-U.S ngo-2017 yayiyi- $ 1.22, isenza ukuba siphindaphindwe ngama-300 kwixabiso lamanzi empompo, kwaye amaxabiso eSmartwater aphezulu kunezinye iibhotile, kunokwenzeka ukuba zingaphezulu komndilili. Amanzi eSmart Icacisa kwiwebhusayithi yayo ukuba ixabiso lentengo lalo ngenxa yeelectrolyte ezongeziweyo, ezizezimbiwa, kunye nokubanga ukuba zinamanqanaba e-pH alungeleleneyo kumanzi afuthwe ngumphunga. Zonke ezi buzzwords zixelela ubuchopho bethu ukuba ithegi ephezulu yexabiso ifanelekile, kodwa ngaba kunjalo ngenene?
Ngaba ukhona umahluko phakathi kwamanzi asebhotileni kunye namanzi etephu?
Cindy Ord / Getty Izithombe Ngokweengcali ezininzi akukho mahluko mkhulu phakathi kwamanzi asebhotileni kunye namanzi aqhelekileyo etephu. Ngoku ka Usekela , Amanzi etephu ahlala esiba sicocekile kwilizwe eliphuhlileyo, nangona kunjalo, ingxaki yamanzi eFlint, eMichigan iyaqondakala into yokuba yenzakalise ukuzithemba koluntu kumgangatho wamanzi e-US, kwaye le nkxalabo ikhokelele kwishishini elikhulu kwiinkampani zamanzi ezibhotile njengeSmartwater. .
Ukufumana inqanaba 'lamanzi ahlakaniphileyo', amanzi aphuma umphunga ukuze asuse ukungcola kunye neeminerali ezivela ngokwendalo. Iphinda ikhunjulwe kwakhona nge-electrolyte kwaye ihluzwe kabini. Nangona kunjalo, ugqirha weDietician uRebecca McManamon uxelele Imeyile yemihla ngemihla ukuba akukho sibonelelo sokwenyani ekusebenziseni amanzi kwi-demineralization. Igama elithi smartwater lithetha ukuba kukrelekrele ukuwasela okanye kukwenza ube nobukrelekrele ngakumbi, nangona ingelilo ibango elicacileyo elenziwe nguCoca-Cola, utshilo. 'Kodwa akukho nto ibonisa ukuba kububulumko ukusela la manzi.'
UCoca-Cola uthi yintoni eyenza iGlaceau yahluke zii-electrolyte ezenza ukuba ingcamle ngokwahlukileyo kwezinye iindidi zamanzi, kodwa ithi akukho zibonelelo zezempilo. Unjingalwazi Wezondlo kwiYunivesithi yaseGlasgow, uMike Lean, uxelele Imeyile yemihla ngemihla olo hlobo lolwimi lunokudideka kubathengi kuba ii-electrolyte zivakala zinobunzululwazi. Abanye abantu abangenalo uqeqesho kwezonyango okanye kwezenzululwazi bacinga ukuba ngayo yonke loo nto ikhangeleka inenzululwazi imveliso inokuba luncedo, utshilo uLean. 'Kodwa ayenzi nto kwaphela kwezempilo.'
Ngokubanzi, esona sizathu samanzi asebhotileni abiza kakhulu kungokuba abathengi bazimisele ukuhlawula ixabiso, mhlawumbi nangakumbi xa igama elithi 'smart' liphoswa ebhotileni. Kwaye njengoko ukuthengisa kuqhubeka nokunyuka ngokuzinzileyo, akukho sizathu sokuba iinkampani zithobe iindleko.
