<p>So Aquafina is being <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/07/27/pepsico.aquafina.reut/index.html" target="_blank">called out</a> as the middle market product that it is: tap water.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s really the selling proposition for Pepsi on this one? One guess is really that consumers, and a lot of them, are basically buying bottles. Maybe Aquafina has a chance to go one step better by going green, and making slightly more durable bottles that can and should be reused.</p>
<p>Know what they call reusable, durable bottles? Flasks&#8230;<br />

<p>Oh, and in looking into the novel concept of not being so wasteful and using durable bottles, Nalgene is <a href="http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/" target="_blank">already</a> <a href="http://www.refillnotlandfill.org/" target="_blank">on it</a>:<br />

<p>With green gaining steam with the public, we&#8217;d like to hope Pepsi sees this as an opportunity to hit the tipping point.</p>
