Glaceau Smartwater

Glaceau Smartwater (stylized as smartwater) is a brand of bottled water owned by Energy Brands, a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company. Introduced in 1996 as Ice Mountain Spring Water and Glaceau Mineral Water in the United States, it became known as Smart Water in 1998.By 2016, it was one of the top five most sold brands of bottled water in that country with sales worth nearly $830 million in 2017.

The brand is also available in other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada,Chile, China,Croatia, France, Hungary India, Malaysia, Romania, Serbia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.Smartwater is manufactured by the process of distillation. This process removes most inorganic impurities, such as naturally dissolved minerals, but may let low boiling-point organic matter through. Afterwards, certain mineral electrolytes such as potassium, calcium and magnesium are added back. Foodwatch describes the process as “completely useless from a nutritional point of view”. The Smartwater bottle (not the water itself) is used in ultralight backpacking because it is relatively light, strong, and compact, compared with other disposable water bottles
