For the record, the decompression you see is the nitrogen inside having leaked out. When they put non-carbonated beverages in cans or bottles they use nitrogen instead of CO2 to keep the containers in tension, which is why sealed containers are really strong while open containers are weak and malleable. The nature of a plastic seal vs. metal in terms of heat expansion, compression, and what not as well as diffusion in general means outward seepage over long periods though. The plastic membrane is very slightly permeable to NO2 but not CO2 or the air around it though, hence the bottle still having a vacuum seal with gasses rushing in only upon opening. This is also why primarily metal and glass containers are still used for dedicated gas containers even after the advent of incredibly strong polymers. Polymers can withstand pressure without breaking, but on an atomic level can still allow for minor amounts of leakage. In other words, it's "safe" from an air exposure perspective. That said, the water probably dissolved the lining at least a bit by now (since water is _very slightly_ acidic) which is probably why it tastes and smells like plastic.

The hiss is air entering, you can see it inflate the bottle. This proves that air has escaped through the plastic over time but that the cap seal is intact.
If anyone is wondering what Dasani used to taste like: Water from a popular wishing well, which has absorbed the metallic flavor of every dirty coin within it.
Important note: Every taste and smell you described is suspiciously similar to how US Dasani water was in the early 2000s. I blacklisted it as a kid because it tastes like plastic and smells like a poorly kept beach. We called it "Rubber band water", and were all very happy to hear it got banned from the UK. Dasani, as it originally comes, is probably equally as awful as what you just had.
Yeah, Dasani is awful. I find it hilarious that even during a major hurricane or virus pandemic, stores are still stocked full of Dasani because no one wants it.

Chemist here: The bottle it is not air tight. It is very tight, but it is not completely air tight. When the bottle was made, the production probably added water with a certain pressure. And pressured water can dissolve more gas than non pressured water (nitrogen, mainly, and some oxygen as well). The pressure of the bottle was, then, slightly higher than the pressure outside. Over the ears, due to diffusion of the gas (which is very slow but it does happen), the pressure inside the bottle got into equilibrium with the pressure outside. As the pressure inside got lower, the atmosphere pressure then pushed the plastic walls and this is why the water bottle was like that. When they opened it, air didn't come off. It got in. The hiss was just air current passing through a very small opening. The air inside the bottle was very probable not 14 years old. Most certainly today's air.
Today's air is a big exaggeration - no way all of it was replaced in the last 24hours. It's tighter than that. Otherwise yes - am very surprised you didn't mention anything about their osmosis rabbling at 3:30 as well (water does move from the weak to the strong solution)

Dasani US water has always tasted vaguely like salted pool water you microwaved in a non-microwave safe plastic bowl and let cool. Like, I’ll drink it if I’m actually thirsty but I won’t choose it given the option. And they added TONS of salt back in the day as “minerals” and I think they were sued because it made you thirstier.
Technically salt is a mineral as well as an electrolyte. You will still find salt in products like Gatorade because salt is an essential electrolyte for the body. It will not make you more thirsty in such small quantities.
@@benpeterson1238 it’s a wholly unnecessary additive to any drink unless it’s specifically an electrolyte replacement drink which only need to be consumed if you’ve been sweating profusely for hours on end, have become dehydrated, or have severe diarrhea and dehydration is imminent otherwise. Do not defend Dasani. They added copious amounts of salt and nothing else when it first released. It was horrible and it was sufficient enough to taste it. You could taste the chlorine from it breaking down. And since most humans consume too much salt anyway…
I’m pretty sure that March is the month that the world really started turning to sh*t... This was uploaded in March. Tom Scott and Ashens has inadvertently unleashed Armageddon upon opening the last bottle of Dasani
Technically his definition of osmosis is correct because osmosis is when solvent from a weak solution moves to a strong solution in order to dilute the strong solution through a selectively permeable membrane where the solute cannot pass.
Think about it like this - you have a 0.1M solution and a 1.0M solution separated by a selectively permeable membrane. What way does the water move? - from the 0.1M solution to the 1.0M solution
Just to let you know, that phrase about osmosis that your teacher had you remember is technically correct. In this instance, a weak solution contains a lot of water and a strong solution contains little water. As such, in terms of water flow it is from weak to strong, and it would be diffusion where it is strong to weak. One of the many annoyingly specific and redundant things that I have to memorise for Y10/11 biology.
"You drink water from a plastic bottle? ugh, small bits of plastic starts to pell in the water over time, it's pretty bad for you." Thank you for highlighting an unforgettable memory
Tom: That's some 17-year-old air that we're breathing. Stuart: Mmm, that's some 90s air. Me: Oh Stuart, I'm sorry… that's some 2003 air that you're breathing.
I worked at Woolworths when this stuff was released (2004 I think) and remember having to open and pour away about 20 cases of the stuff, to the point where my finger and thumb were so sore that they started bleeding. Like some weird form of torture.
I actually drank Dasani back in the day. I even bought it knowing that it was tapwater (to some teasing). I didn't like my own tapwater and Dasani tasted better than it. Dasani was the cheapest of the bottled waters, I think it was even cheaper than Tesco own brand for a 6pack of the large bottles. It tasted fine, unremarkable, inoffensive. It had none of the bad tastes that some brands of bottled water had. I wouldn't say I loved it, I only bought it because it was cheap, but it was perfectly drinkable and not bad.
That's interesting, because Dasani is one of the more expensive bottled waters in the US today (not counting the hipster brands that claim to clear your chakras and fix your relationship).
Every single American is going "Its probably just like finding a water bottle in your room after a week and taking a swig" cus from what they are saying I know exactly what its like, you could probably recreate the experience by buying a fresh bottle from the USA and leaving it in the back of your car for a week then try it.
I was working in a shop at the time the whole debacle went down and we were told to dump it all down the sink so that's probably why you've had trouble finding it
The PET that the bottle is made of is permeable to a lot of things; the smell may be due to something leaching in through the plastic where it was stored for 15 years.
When they mention microorganism I was kind of thinking, "I wonder how this stuff would look under a microscope compared to tap water and fresh bottled water."
Probably exactly the same. Bottled water is a scam and quite often less 'safe' than regular tap water unless in a place where profits are encouraged before basic health standards like Flint.

Dasani always tasted like chemicals with a gross aftertaste. Seems like it tasted the exact same. Probably the worst bottled water available in 'Merica
Though the UK version was specifically made to for UK tastes. So it not the same as American Dasani. Might still taste like crap however. I have seen what the British call food >_>
I love their latest water: "GLACÉAU Smartwater is made from British spring water which is vapour-distilled before electrolytes are added. It has a distinctive, crisp, clean taste and is produced and bottled in Morpeth, Northumberland."......so instead of using tap water....they take the minerals out of spring water and them put some back in ??????
iseeolly anyone who buys bottled water in the UK is a twit anyway. Not only does it contribute to harmful plastic waste, by law our tap water is cleaner and safer.

American here, I've drunk a few dasanis in my life, only when it was the only option. It always tastes like chemicals and plastic. It's awful.
Americans usually drink chilled water so the taste is less noticeable
Fj Fj in fact, I don’t recall ever drinking room temperature water unless it was the only option or my water has warmed up
I almost never drink cold water, I like room temperature lol. (I'm American)

So true, Ashens. So true. 😢
He's really putting that pysche degree to work!
Technically his definition of osmosis is correct because osmosis is when solvent from a weak solution moves to a strong solution in order to dilute the strong solution through a selectively permeable membrane where the solute cannot pass.
Exactly. It sounds wrong but it's right because it's the water that moves, not whatever is dissolved in the water.
Thank you for making this comment so I don't have to
I'm glad I checked for this comment
Think about it like this - you have a 0.1M solution and a 1.0M solution separated by a selectively permeable membrane.
What way does the water move? - from the 0.1M solution to the 1.0M solution
Yes. Thank you.
Just to let you know, that phrase about osmosis that your teacher had you remember is technically correct. In this instance, a weak solution contains a lot of water and a strong solution contains little water. As such, in terms of water flow it is from weak to strong, and it would be diffusion where it is strong to weak.

Tom: That's some 17-year-old air that we're breathing.
Stuart: Mmm, that's some 90s air.
Me: Oh Stuart, I'm sorry… that's some 2003 air that you're breathing.
Oh. Oh, no...
We’re becoming so old so quickly.
oh no
Morpheus: "You think that's 90s air you're breathing now?"
Stuart is stuck in 2015.
I worked at Woolworths when this stuff was released (2004 I think) and remember having to open and pour away about 20 cases of the stuff, to the point where my finger and thumb were so sore that they started bleeding. Like some weird form of torture.
Should have just use some tool. Something you could grab onto it with. Better handle and better grip.
I guess I'm 17 years too late.
@@Liggliluff Or a shirt.
Maybe stabbing the screwdriver into the bottle would be fun you could have water fountains going on
Taking a sip of Dasani is like tasting the dryness of the desert
That's the added salt
"drink from me and you will taste the dryness of a thousand suns"
Just A Dio Who's A Hero For Fun Im glad I'm not the only one who feels this way everyone says im crazy lol
It’s way too acidic
It tastes like bitter metal
Sitting here and thinking "stop drinking the plastic flavoured water!"
"It's got a tang of something."
"I'm gonna go with plastic."
Amazing how over 15 years, so little changes.
I'm so happy Tom and Ashens collaborated together! They would make a great duo in some sort of series.
"that's 90s air" oh not anymore, it's 2020 so 15 years ago this was 2005. Ashens We are old and that's a fact
Crazy that we’re as close to 2005 than 2005 was to 1990. Also crazier that was 30 years ago!
Not even pre-9/11. Damn. That’s not even old world air
These guys have shockingly similar voices that I never connected until I heard them together
See, to me, they don't sound remotely alike.
Wait till you watch any single episode of JAR media with Alex from IHE and his mates.
Now THIS is the type of collab I need in my life!
"This might be the last Dasani bottled water in existence."
U.S. Dasani: am i a joke to you?
To be frank: yes. ;)
Yup. Dasani is still around.
Malaysia dasani is here too
weird it's "ades" in Indonesia
UK Dasani was a different formulation of chemicals though.
"It smells of a drain, Tom"
I could immediately smell it 🤢
Same here, that's absolutely disgusting!
"Oh, it tastes like water.... Eugh"
Yup, it's Dasani.
"It may all be in your head, but the pain doesn't go away."
Doctor Ashens neatly summing up depression there.
When he said "Mr. Scott" I got Fallout 4 flashbacks.
"I'm pretty sure the taste of it is plastic and microorganisms."
As an American, I can assure you, Dasani is just garbage to begin with.
I really liked the sparkling lime one when we visited. I'm probably garbage though :)
I'm pretty sure garbage tastes better, but it may be just a subjective opinion and not an objective one.
Dasani always tastes like plastic
k hoo, sparkling water is the only good Dasani. Their bottled water is absolute garbage, would rather drink a soda.
Yeah, I always thought Dasani had a really plastic-y taste. Probably haven't had it in about 15 years either though.
"We can't keep them waiting"
"Oooohhh yes we can, that's the format!"
Love it! 🤣
"Slight drinking problem." Love that line.
I actually drank Dasani back in the day. I even bought it knowing that it was tapwater (to some teasing). I didn't like my own tapwater and Dasani tasted better than it. Dasani was the cheapest of the bottled waters, I think it was even cheaper than Tesco own brand for a 6pack of the large bottles. It tasted fine, unremarkable, inoffensive. It had none of the bad tastes that some brands of bottled water had. I wouldn't say I loved it, I only bought it because it was cheap, but it was perfectly drinkable and not bad.
Thrilling life you live man
Guess you're not from the Southeast or London then because Thames Water is Thames Water
That's interesting, because Dasani is one of the more expensive bottled waters in the US today (not counting the hipster brands that claim to clear your chakras and fix your relationship).
Every single American is going "Its probably just like finding a water bottle in your room after a week and taking a swig" cus from what they are saying I know exactly what its like, you could probably recreate the experience by buying a fresh bottle from the USA and leaving it in the back of your car for a week then try it.
A_Guy_in_Orange it tastes terrible, and smells bad...
Bottled water after a week is still fairly ok, now if it’s like 5-10 years old then yeah it’s not that good anymore
Depends... I guess for me, a bottle in the trunk will probably be fine, but a bottle that's been in direct sunlight will have degraded.
@@rikustorm13 A bottle of water kept in a car can go off quickly. Depends on the area, I'm sure, but here in Texas... it goes fast.
Vykk Draygo yeah u can taste the plastic in the water down here in Houston during summer
This collaboration needs to happen again
The fact that Tom did the Vulcan Goblet grip is kudos worthy.
I was working in a shop at the time the whole debacle went down and we were told to dump it all down the sink so that's probably why you've had trouble finding it
Also it's 15 year old cancer water

@@mrpsb it only gets better with age
Sewer Water: "Oi!. We draw the line at being lumped with Dasani!"
how did I miss this crossover? 10/10
You don't actually know how long I've been waiting for this colab, YAYYYY
The PET that the bottle is made of is permeable to a lot of things; the smell may be due to something leaching in through the plastic where it was stored for 15 years.
Great so it was stored in a drain
The plastic itself will leach into the water after that long.
Probably why it's shrunk, the plastic is ever so slightly permeable to water to the extent that only becomes noticeable after a decade
@@AngDavies so weird, that it's permeable one way to water but not the other way to air or water vapour therein
@@beware_the_moose Er, that's how diffusion works, things diffuse from high concentration to low concentration.
This is the collaboration I didn't know existed until now, but I am very glad it happened!!
When they mention microorganism I was kind of thinking, "I wonder how this stuff would look under a microscope compared to tap water and fresh bottled water."
Probably exactly the same. Bottled water is a scam and quite often less 'safe' than regular tap water unless in a place where profits are encouraged before basic health standards like Flint.

He's like me. My brain still thinks that 15 years ago it was the 90s.
@@LeeDee5 Me too and I'm only 20
The reason it contracts iirc, is due to water molecules escaping over time through the plastic. particularly when its warm.
Could it be due to... osmosis?
Here I was wondering if perhaps it was bottled at a different elevation which caused it to suck in due to pressure difference.
@@mixiekins Southwest London shouldn't have much of an altitude dfference to Norwich.
Maybe it was taken to altitude or put under pressure at some point? Or repeatedly cooled and warmed up?

Dasani always tasted like chemicals with a gross aftertaste. Seems like it tasted the exact same. Probably the worst bottled water available in 'Merica
zeo868 Absolutely. I wonder if it was ever carcinogenic here, lol.
@Aysa.
Whether or not it actually is carcinogenic, it sure _tastes_ that way.
I agree, and I believe that would explain why it's SO damn cheap and can be found literally anywhere in North America.
Though the UK version was specifically made to for UK tastes. So it not the same as American Dasani. Might still taste like crap however. I have seen what the British call food >_>

I love their latest water: "GLACÉAU Smartwater is made from British spring water which is vapour-distilled before electrolytes are added. It has a distinctive, crisp, clean taste and is produced and bottled in Morpeth, Northumberland."......so instead of using tap water....they take the minerals out of spring water and them put some back in ??????
iseeolly anyone who buys bottled water in the UK is a twit anyway. Not only does it contribute to harmful plastic waste, by law our tap water is cleaner and safer.
