Why you can't buy Dasani water in Britain

If you wish I'd drunk some of this: so do I! And you're in luck, because Ashens and I did just that over on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6VhcpwFZJM

pov: you're slowly backpedaling away from a psychopath talking about water

Pov: ur going for a walk and some stranger starts following you and lecturing you on a story about bottled water

You make some very elaborate videos, but I cannot imagine how difficult it is to shoot all of this in one take. The fact that you were able to line up the destination with your punch line. The fact that you were not distracted at any moment by the world going around you. The fact that you remembered every word you were planning to say. I would love to see a Tom Scott blooper reel one day!

It's absolutely incredible how Tom can not only remember his 10 minute long script, but do it in a single take AND get to the plant the second his script tells him he should point at the plant. Incredible. He doesn't even lose focus once. Ps. Cudos to the camera person for walking backwards that whole time and not stumbling.

Some people praised 1917 for it's long shots, but Tom Scott showed us all how it's done.

"That's an odd location to film a video..." camera pans left "Okay then."

I am working on a process to dehydrate water into a powder and selling it in small emergency packets- all you do is add water and you have instant water.... that will sell well in the UK !

I cant tell if im more impressed by the information being told to me, or the commitment and sheer cool factor of your walking start to the cocacola plant, amazing video as always

POV: You are slowly being backed into a corner whilst being lectured on bottled water

Wait he's filming a video in his own country? Impossible.

I'm amazed you were able to do this video in a single continuous take without cuts. I can only imagine how difficult it was to perfect this video

Thanks Britain for thwarting the invasion. At one point in my life I was locked in a ship with only Dasani and its Pepsi counterpart Aquafina, and it felt like drinking nothingness, which managed to make me even thirstier. Even the tea brewing in it felt lacking.

People are talking about Tom's "one take" ability but nobody's mentioning his ability to wear a red shirt and grey hoodie for the past 5+ years.

the camera pan to reveal the coke plant was too good

During a trip to the US I was like "hmmm what the hell is that purified water they sell in bottles ?" And it was just that. What you can do at home with a water purifier, they do sell to you in a bottle... France, like the UK, never had such a product, and like the UK, has many mineral water brands, exported all over the world (Evian, Vittel, Volvic, Perrier...). There is no way such a product would have worked once people would have known what it was in France, because they would have had the same reaction as me : "why the hell would I pay for that when tap water is so cheap?".

After finding out about this, my school decided to stop adding Dasani in the water vending machines and replace them with actual "clean" water

I didn’t search for this. There’s nothing that would indicate that I would want this. But I like it.

"One-Take Tom" is NOT phased by car horns!

Riveting! Tom Scott, you make the Dasani story so much more dramatic than my former business school marketing case studies of product launches that failed disastrously. Thanks for the research, and fascinating storytelling. Have never bought Dasani here in the US, because we know it’s tap water. Apologies to my friend, who had a 20-year career in Coca-Cola marketing.
