Flavored water

Someone recommended this stuff to me, as 1)water, 2)with a light taste of fruit, 3)a hint of sweetener. This certain someone told me that she was trying to drink more water and this was just the ticket because she was going through a little over half-a-case every week.

I drink a LOT of water, and I kind of like the fact that it's tasteless and boring - it's refreshing and re-hydrating, as water should be. But, trust me, I'm not a purist, so that's not the case. I also love and need variety.

So, at this point I've tried three of the flavors. I don't know. I kind of feel duped... First of all, too fucking sweet! Plus, it's Splenda so there is a tinge of artificial bitterness to the sweetener. But, really, though... TOO SWEET! Why do we keep upping the ante on sweetness in our country?? No wonder we're such damn fat-asses. I also do not like to eat very rich foods, either, though I love spiciness. Too much of a rich sauce makes me feel like a pig - oink! And, I don't eat fried foods either, except for every once in a blue moon, and at this point, it exits out of my ass almost immediately because it's like a contaminant in my bran-, lettuce-, and whole-wheat-filled colon. Anyway, thus ends my rant on unhealthy foods and the American obsession fat, salt, and sugar. TOO SWEET!

Now, we go onto the light fruit flavor. A splash of fruit? Not! What does light mean? Not this nearly syrupy stuff, right? I like fruit but I don't like to be over-powered by it. I don't want to smell like fruit the rest of the day. Okay, that may be exaggerating, but... "Hello! Too Strong! Back off on the fruit and let it actually taste like water to some extent."

Overall, this is my conclusion. Do you know what this is? Over-priced clear sugar-free KoolAid. Do they sell clear Sugar-Free KoolAid in bottles? They should because they would make a killing!

MOOD: pissed, ya think?
