dasani flavored water

[lazydays]

I recently posted that I was experimenting with flavored water. Pretty much all the replies said not to buy bottled water but to flavor at home. Good advice but I still have five bottles from various companies to try and I thought I should share my experience here.

glaceau vitamin water-Tastes good, like slightly watered down punch. 50 calories.
Dasani strawberry kiwi-Very bad, as in something tastes wrong. 0 calories.
Fruit 2 0 strawberry kiwi-Very strong flavor and aroma. Probably too strong. I did not like it. 0 Calories.
talking rain mandarin-Taste was very subtle, not offensive. 0 calories.
fruit 2 0 peach mango-Not as bad as the strawberry kiwi but again very strong in aroma and flavor. Did not like. 0 calories.

I happened to have to grab lunch on the road the other day and was intrigued enough by the description to try SOBE Life Water. Not knowing what to expect, I thought it was pretty darn good. Probably not worth the $2 I paid for it, but good nonetheless. I had the Fuji apple/pear flavor.

Very telling.

Stick with beer then.

Lazy,

My current favorite bottled water is MetroMint Spearmint or Chocolate Mint water. It's pretty much water with mint essence or mint and cocoa essence. I'm drinking ChocolateMint right now. Very refreshing and tasty.

It comes in six varieties but I've only tried the Spearmint and ChocolateMint so far and have someof the LemonMint and CherryMint waiting for me in the fridge. The local store doesn't have the Peppermint or OrangeMint varieties yet.



No doubt, I could make this myself easily enough and plan to give it a try when time and circumstances allow. Until then, I'm very happy to with the MetroMint version. I've yet to find anything else like it on the market right now.

I was in fits and actually getting dehydrated in Budapest last fall. The tap water was marginal at best, and all the bottled water was mint flavored, either carbonated mint mineral water, or flat and mint flavored.

I would have gladly paid a buck a pint for Seattle tap water filtered through a new Brita filter.

cowboy up and drink just water.
