Dasani to Launch Dasani Plus Vitamin-Enhanced Flavored Water Beverages

04/06/07 DASANI announced the June launch of DASANI Plus vitamin-enhanced flavored water beverages. The line, with zero calories per serving, comes in three varieties:

•Refresh + Revive: Kiwi Strawberry Flavor has 10% of the reference daily intake (RDI) per serving of Vitamins B3, B6 and B12.
•Cleanse + Restore: Pomegranate Blackberry Flavor contains 10% of the RDI per serving of Vitamins E, B3, B6 and B12, plus 1 gram of fiber.
•Defend + Protect: Orange Tangerine Flavor provides 10% of the RDI per serving of Vitamin E and Zinc.

Independent research shows vitamin-enhanced water is the growth leader in the water category -- larger than the flavored and sparkling water categories combined. In every U.S. region, vitamin-enhanced water has a 11+ dollar share of the total water category, providing the highest retailer revenue per case in the overall water category. These factors, along with consumers' evolving health-conscious lifestyles, created the platform for DASANI Plus as the next step for the DASANI brand.

"The time was right to build on the success of the DASANI brand and its great taste promise, and to create the fresh-tasting enhanced water DASANI Plus," said Gloria Garrett, Coca-Cola North America Vice President, Hydration. "For consumers already seeking the added health benefits that vitamins and minerals provide, a nutrient enhanced DASANI water with zero calories per serving is a real "Plus".

DASANI Plus will be packaged in distinctive 20 fl. oz. single serve PET bottles with a clear shrink-wrap label. Available on shelf and in coolers in supermarkets, convenience and other retail stores, DASANI Plus suggested retail price will be competitive within the enhanced water category and will be supported throughout 2007 with a fully integrated marketing program that includes consumer sampling programs, Web/interactive communications, radio, point-of-purchase displays and public relations.
