Trying to find Aquafina/Dasani Water bottled.  
Is there a shortage?

Bottled water is the biggest scam out there. Tap water is just as good without the horrendous waste of plastic.

A number of bottled waters are just local tap water from wherever the plant is, and given some minor treatments.

Focus boys... The question was where to find it not what your thoughts about bottled water or the environment was.  
 
I did see a few dasani at Sobeys West last time I was there. Coop on Richmond also had some last week.

While I get what you're saying there are a few exceptions.  
 
Some people like myself have lead piping so tap water isn't ideal, granted I fill 5 gallon jugs for drinking water not buy infinite 500ml bottles.  
 
Also, while bottled water is essentially taking free ingredients and charging $2-5 for it, at least its healthier than drinking sugary carbonated drinks on the go, no one complains about pop drinks coming packaged in plastic bottles, it only seems to be water for some reason.

I read a very long Twitter thread the other day listing all the items impacted by supply-chain shortages. Danasi wasn't specifically mentioned, but anything needing plastic bottles and aluminum cans is affected due to a shortage of packaging.  
 
Apparently it's a combination of reduction of production due to Covid and the back up of unloading boats at the ports due to staffing. People who live in the area says the boats are stacked up like they've never seen before.

I wonder if this is why the distilled water I buy went up in price 75%. I need it for a medical machine otherwise wouldn't buy it.

Wow - this discussion is like our politicians answering questions- LOL  
 
Bought some Dasani at coop 2weeks ago. Used to get Aquafina at Safeway but haven’t come across it for a while now using Purelife from Nestle from Safeway.  
Saw news article on USA station about shortages.

Haven't noticed a change in price at Superstore. Was still $1.88 per 4l about 2 weeks ago. I use daily for a CPap machine.

Do not drink distilled water, your body has ZERO use for it, especially if you are thirsty. But are great for cleaning machinery like irons and your Cpap, because distilled water won't corrode them or leave mineral deposits behind.  
 
Distilled water won't hurt you, but man does it taste terrible!!

I find most tap water, including that in Brandon, to taste particularly gross. I will make tea with it, cook with it, but that's about all. Distilled is more or less the only water I will drink as is, and I haven't had any problems. It's the only water that tastes like truly nothing, and thank god for that.

Definitely a shortage on Aquafina not sure about Dasani.

We just put our tap water through a whole house filter and water for drinking or cooking goes through a Brita filter jug and we fill reusable water bottles from that. Taste is perfect.
