Pros:
- Only 13 grams of sugar and 50 calories for 8 oz, and full of essential vitamins.
- Amazing taste which is neither too sweet nor diluted.
- Almost always on sale for $1 at stores like Target and Walmart.
- Many, many flavors to choose from.
- Really funny messages on the labels that keep changing.
- Customer service is mostly nice - they offer cool freebies just for calling.
Cons:
- Caps are hard to open.
- Variety packs (that you can buy at club stores like Costco) only feature four flavors, and they're not necessarily your favorite ones.
- One or two flavors are downright nasty - namely Connect (blackcherry lime) which tastes much like Robittusin and Formula 50 (grape) which reminds me of Tums + Children's Tylenol gone bad.
Bottom Line: Vitamin Water's a great drink for any time of day! People mockingly ask, "You think you're really getting your vitamins in there?" But it's true, you really do get them. Of course you can't compare the Vitamin C quality of an orange with the Vitamin C in a bottle of Essential, but you're receiving the nutrients anyway. It's an affordable drink and quenches your thirst much better than Snapple or Powerade because it has just a bit of sugar. If you have a problem with a bottle, call up their customer service and you'll be sent replacements in the form of coupons almost immediately! Drink up!
