Dasani is Coca-Cola's bottled water brand that apparently sells well in some markets. By using a new filteration technique similar to that used in cell function or dialysis the water is cleaned and minerals added.
Unfortunately on the UK market the product showed traces of bromate, a carcinogen, and was quickly withdrawn whilst it's original debate, it's oustanding price was still ongoing.
More expensive than many of it's competitors', and since this is just filtered tap water, not a good marketing ploy in a country with potable tap water.
Since other Coca-Cola ingredients such as caffeine, caramel, phosphoric acid and aspartame are seperately linked to issues including brain cancer, memory loss and decalcification of teeth and the fact they already produce Buxton water in a similary industrial enviroment, I'd say their long-term reputation for expensive sugar water and the like will not be harmed.

Suprisingly diverse and cosmopolitan city in the far north of England, also home of Viz comic which reflects the rich slang and drunkenness this city has bestowed.
A suprising amount of Urban Dictionary, mine too, are influenced by Viz.

Newcastle Brown ale was specially imported by Clint Eastwood due to the fact it's so awesome. And if it's good enough for cowboys, it's good enough for you.

A genuine technical term used in advertising, often abreviated to "two c's in a kitchen". This unbeleivably offensive term relates to any advert based around two people discussing something for the purpose of a camera.
The origins of this are based in early washing powder comercials where two people would say something like "Oh, how do you get those whites so bright?". Apparently even in the early days people found it hard to keep a straight face on set.
Now there are several pastiches, including two c's by a washing line, two c's in a bar, in a car, anywhere.
In short, two people discussing something pointlessly and in an artificial or clearly staged manner for the benefit of onlookers, sometimes in irony.

Dude, I just had to sit through a party political broadcast with a staged interview. It was so totally two c's.

The Pinball song from Sesame Street is scientifically proven to be the best song in the world, teaching kids counting and rhythm, funk and awe.
The second best would be the Number Song by Dj Shadow.

Ever notice how the repetitive 30 second spots between the rest of the show emulated adverts? In fact so much so that no-one's allowed to advertise during Sesame Street.

Esteemed engine tuner based in Northampton, UK.
Previously confused as part of Ford Racing and Ford SVT because of their excellent rally successes with the Sierra Cosworth and it's derivatives including the RS200, whose insanely high performance meant most examples were written off and directly resulting in rally cars of its type being removed from the sport.
There are several "Cosworths" out there, including Mercedes and Vauxhall. Although because of the misconception these are Fords they never badge the cars as Cosworth; only Ford did this.
Audi are the current owners of Cosworth and their skill was involed in the Audi TT.
Yes. The Escort Cosworth was really a special short wheelbase Sierra with an Escort looking shell. Real Escorts have subtely different measurments.

The RS500 was called as such because of the 500 units that had to be sold to pass homologation, it's just coincidence that you can easily tune them to 500Bhp.
