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.

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.
Am I the only one who also thinks Dasani has like, for lack of a better word, a texture to it? As if its more viscous or thicker than normal water? I dont like how I can feel it coat my mouth lol. I really dont know how to explain it but I always avoid the stuff if I can because of it.
@@anthropomorphicpeanut6160 still, it does not expire, lol. tho... ok... 100 years in plastic may alter the taste. but that won't happen in a glass bottle tho.

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
Tom and Ashens should partner up more often since Tom is looking to finish his 10 years on youtube in 2024. It would be fun see you guys review products at the counter more often. Nice change of pace from Ashens on his knees for the viewer's delight.
"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
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.

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.
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.
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).
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.
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
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 >_>
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.

Osmosis actually is the movement of weak solution to a strong solution. That's cause there is a higher concentration of solute on the strong solution side. Since selectively permeable membranes will only allow the solvent to travel, you get the solvent go from the weak side to the strong side to try and lower the concentration of the strong solution.
The mistake there is that the statement says that it is the SOLUTION that is moving from weak to strong. It is true that the WATER of the solution is moving from the side with the weak solution to the side of the strong solution, but the solution itself isn't. A solution is the combination of both the solute and the solvent.
@@davidonfim2381 True but Tom Scott seemed to suggest the problem was with the direction of flow. But yeah it is the solvent that travels not the solution.
@@cannedgoodness9633 You can measure the concentration of a solute directly, through a variety of ways. You can even taste it sometimes (eg. how salty or how sweet a salt or sugar solution is). So it's easy to do experiments using little bags full of fluid into another fluid. First you have to find a bag that is semipermeable, so it only allows water through and not the solute. I don't know what materials will work. Once you've figured that out, you can try different concentrations both in and out of the bag, and measure both the volume and the concentration of the solute. If you really have a semipermeable membrane that does not allow the solute to pass but it does allow the solvent, then you'll always find that the solvent is moving from the solution with the lower amount of solute to the solution with the higher amount. For example, the volume of a bag filled with salt water will increase if you put it in a bath of fresh water. The opposite will happen if you change the salinities around. You can do the same thing with cells. If you take some cells (say, a leaf of lettuce) and put them in a salty solution, those cells will wilt (water will flow out of them). If you take some wilted lettuce and put it in fresh water, it will get crispier because water is flowing in.
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.
A level biology student here That IS the correct definition of osmosis. Solute decreases water potential. So the weaker solution, which has less solute and therefore more water, moves across the membrane to the less watery stronger solution.
Yep. I was going to comment exactly that too. Now it doesn't apply to 'reverse' osmosis, but that is an active process requiring the input of energy to force water through the membrane so doesn't count as far as Ashen's correctly remembered definition goes.
@@AgentTasmania Well in a biology context the solvent is realistically going to be water, and the solute will be something like reducing sugars or electrolytes.
Not quite. Osmosis is the movement of THE SOLVENT from a weak solution to a strong solution across a semi permeable membrane, not the movement of the solution
last year a pipe broke in my neighborhood, so we had to either boil and treat our water or buy it bottled. my cat has kidney trouble and was too thirsty to wait for the water treatment, so i jogged down the street and bought a bottle for him in the meantime. this cat, who has indulged in many a rodent intestine, who licks his own privates daily, refused the dasani water i tried to give him.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 >_>

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?
@@idontwanttopickone No, this just happens to bottled water left long enough
That definition of osmosis is correct. The solvent moves from the weak solution into the more concentrated solution.
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.

@@LeeDee5 Me too and I'm only 20
Osmosis actually is the movement of weak solution to a strong solution. That's cause there is a higher concentration of solute on the strong solution side. Since selectively permeable membranes will only allow the solvent to travel, you get the solvent go from the weak side to the strong side to try and lower the concentration of the strong solution.
@J M Its correct though, the water travels to where the salt is, not the other way around.
The mistake there is that the statement says that it is the SOLUTION that is moving from weak to strong. It is true that the WATER of the solution is moving from the side with the weak solution to the side of the strong solution, but the solution itself isn't. A solution is the combination of both the solute and the solvent.
@@davidonfim2381 True but Tom Scott seemed to suggest the problem was with the direction of flow. But yeah it is the solvent that travels not the solution.
Fascinating, I'm not very science minded, can you tell me how they figured it out?
@@cannedgoodness9633 You can measure the concentration of a solute directly, through a variety of ways. You can even taste it sometimes (eg. how salty or how sweet a salt or sugar solution is). So it's easy to do experiments using little bags full of fluid into another fluid. First you have to find a bag that is semipermeable, so it only allows water through and not the solute. I don't know what materials will work. Once you've figured that out, you can try different concentrations both in and out of the bag, and measure both the volume and the concentration of the solute.
If you really have a semipermeable membrane that does not allow the solute to pass but it does allow the solvent, then you'll always find that the solvent is moving from the solution with the lower amount of solute to the solution with the higher amount. For example, the volume of a bag filled with salt water will increase if you put it in a bath of fresh water. The opposite will happen if you change the salinities around.
You can do the same thing with cells. If you take some cells (say, a leaf of lettuce) and put them in a salty solution, those cells will wilt (water will flow out of them). If you take some wilted lettuce and put it in fresh water, it will get crispier because water is flowing in.
I've noticed that when empty plastic bottle is closed on low air pressure, on high pressure it is squeesed.
The fact that Tom did the Vulcan Goblet grip is kudos worthy.
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 ??????

That IS the correct definition of osmosis. Solute decreases water potential. So the weaker solution, which has less solute and therefore more water, moves across the membrane to the less watery stronger solution.
Yep. I was going to comment exactly that too.
Now it doesn't apply to 'reverse' osmosis, but that is an active process requiring the input of energy to force water through the membrane so doesn't count as far as Ashen's correctly remembered definition goes.
Some slight nebulousity of defining what’s dissolved in what
@@AgentTasmania Well in a biology context the solvent is realistically going to be water, and the solute will be something like reducing sugars or electrolytes.
Not quite. Osmosis is the movement of THE SOLVENT from a weak solution to a strong solution across a semi permeable membrane, not the movement of the solution
@@Nastyswimmer You are correct yes. I should've said the solvent from the solution.
last year a pipe broke in my neighborhood, so we had to either boil and treat our water or buy it bottled. my cat has kidney trouble and was too thirsty to wait for the water treatment, so i jogged down the street and bought a bottle for him in the meantime. this cat, who has indulged in many a rodent intestine, who licks his own privates daily, refused the dasani water i tried to give him.
