Dear Dasani People,

I noticed something on the side of your bottle that caught my attention. Specifically, a major grammar error involving the misuse of a verb. Whereas a past participle should be present, you instead have used an infinitive. This blows my mind. Where do you get the people who write the words on the label? Mars?

According to your bottle, Dasani has a “fresh taste that can’t be beat.” Do you know the implications of such a mistake? No, you probably don’t. Well, the implications are bad. This should read “fresh taste that can’t be beaten.” Whoever wrote this should be put on temporary leave until they finish 3^rd grade.

Please let me know when you will do something about this. I only drink from grammatically correct bottles.

Sincerely,

Kevin Dickinson
