Some bottled waters
Answer:
DASANIS
Hint:
This brand owned by Coca-Cola often comes in a distinctively shaped bottle and is named after a combination of "data" and the Greek word for "water."
Explanation:
"Some bottled waters" hints at a brand name rather than a generic term. The answer "DASANIS" is a play on "dasani," a well-known bottled water brand, with an extra "S" added to make it plural—fitting the clue’s "waters." The slight misspelling is a common crossword trick to keep solvers on their toes.
