Honestly, Dasani is a terrible water brand, so not much of a loss there. They should stock Max instead of Diet Pepsi as a less worse alternative. Maybe La Criox too, but I might be getting ahead of myself...

Full can so far, 2 out of 2 flights (and they were on the shorter side, too).
For those who do like seltzer, it does now get you a 12 oz can versus the 8-10 oz cup pour. Good to keep in mind if you're really thirsty.

I prefer Pepsi. But if people don’t like it and bring their own Coke on board that will further increase the cost savings.

Just an fyi, I was just on 2 separate flights. One was serving Crystal Geyser water and the other was serving an unrecognizable brand with a white label. I believe Niagara has green labels so that's at least 3 different brands of water. Are they serving Aquafina in Mint? Also, I was on a 5+ hour transcon and there was NO water service whatsoever. Just the main service and then a very rushed 2nd service right before landing. No other airline does that on such a long flight, especially in the Summer heat. I did have a water bottle with me but it was in my bag in the overhead.

I like the no-name white label water better. Really crisp taste. Not looking forward to them serving Aquafina, but I’ll enjoy this for now.

I guess Pepsi is here to stay as they B6 brands the landmarked sign in Queens - Long Island City's NY State Gantry Park. Went up this morning.

Glad I just read about this.
We'll bring on our own bottles of water... IF the new restrictions at SFO aren't spreading. And I'm not entirely sure just what will be allowed for sale post-security.
JetBlue thinking that open cups of water just sitting on those little drop-down shelves during most of the flight time ... that it is not going to lead to lots of spillage? Of course, that would be on the passengers' clothing and laptops, etc., mostly, so not a problem for JetBlue!
Anything that "helps" keeping passengers from having easy access to water is, well, not particularly healthy (especially for some with certain medical situations).
And we are among those who HATE Pepsi (especially one of us). So we'll have to bring aboard Diet Coke as well... IF it is available post-security. To be fair, we almost always carry on *bottles* of Diet Coke, as they are resealable, as are water bottles.
(So far there's only one small "post-security area" we encounter that does not ever sell any Coke products, but that's just for a single airline, and not JetBlue.)
