## About <!--about-->
Aquafina Bottled Drinking Water is the Aquafina line as PepsiCo's licensees sell it in the Middle East: purified water in bottles whose front label carries the Aquafina wordmark, the denomination "bottled drinking water" in English and Arabic and a "LOW SODIUM" roundel.[^off600][^off500] The 600 ml bottle under United States barcode 012000811395 is sold by Kuwaiti grocers,[^ebaqala] and a 500 ml bottle of the same label under 012000014338 is recorded for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.[^off500] In the Emirates the Dubai Refreshment Company, PepsiCo's bottler there since 2004, lists the line in 330, 500 and 1500 ml plastic bottles, a 330 ml can, 330 and 750 ml still glass bottles and 330 and 750 ml sparkling glass bottles, all purified by the seven-step HydRO-7 process the side labels name.[^pepsidrc] Egypt has its own 600 ml bottle, on an Egyptian barcode and labelled "Natural Water".[^offeg]

Aquafina itself was first distributed in Wichita, Kansas in July 1994, after four earlier PepsiCo attempts at bottled water, and is bottled today in markets including the GCC countries, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Turkey, Nigeria, Morocco, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, each through a local bottler and under its own barcodes.[^wikiaquafina] The United States line is a separate page here, family/aquafina-purified-drinking-water, because its packs print "Purified Drinking Water", "Purified Water" or "Purified Still Water" instead of this denomination.

What these sources do not settle: none of the Dubai Refreshment packs could be tied to a barcode, and no source read names the bottler of the Kuwaiti 600 ml or of the Saudi and Emirati 500 ml bottle, so the 500 ml row's identity with the Emirati "Aquafina Water 500ml Pet" is a reading of two sources rather than a stated fact; the Pepsi Kuwait site has a page for a 600 ml Aquafina but renders in the browser and gave no readable text, and Lulu Hypermarket and City Hypermarket, which list larger Kuwaiti packs, answer 403 and a Cloudflare challenge, so no Kuwaiti bottle above 600 ml carries a row here.
