Vitamin water, glorified sugar water?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 03.20.2008, 01:46 PM

I think it is odd that something that is so intensely sweetened is being called "vitamin water"

I'd like it better if it was water with just a slight hint of flavor

What's worse is Vitmin Water uses high fructose corn syrup disguised as "crystalline fructose" which is way worse for you than cane sugar.

I don't fuck with calories in my drinks unless it's booze. Ya urrrrd?!!

HaydenAsche · 03.20.2008, 02:03 PM

Vitamin water is nasty. I drink water water. It's much better.

I'm not sure if high fructose corn syrup is actually worse for you. I think it breaks down the same way as cane sugar. I could be wrong though.

However the political implications and the flavor of the shit makes me want to avoid it anyways.

If you eat right, you won't need to drink up all of your vitamins, you will already be getting them. That's like drinking a V8 every day so you never have to eat a salad.

high fructose corn syrup is actually fairly bad for you if eaten in large quantities, and what with EVERYTHING being manufactured in the USA with corn syrup instead of sugar (thank you ADM corn monopoly! bastards) we all eat way too much fucking corn syrup

cut out as much foods as you can containing hfcs. you'll lose a good 10 pounds in a month.

Alex's Trip · 03.20.2008, 05:42 PM

I like vitamin water.

terminal pharmacy · 03.20.2008, 05:44 PM

i find it odd that people will pay $3 for a premade bottle of cordial

Anngella · 03.20.2008, 09:27 PM

I agree with Hayden. Pure H2O is ftw.

ALIEN ANAL · 03.20.2008, 09:28 PM

i cant stand water with a tiny bit of flavour
makes me feel like there was something else left in the cup

Dead-Air · 03.20.2008, 09:31 PM

Of course now there's Coke Plus (Coca-cola with vitamins in it!), which is even stupider. Probably an invitation for an ulcer in the name of "health".

batreleaser · 03.20.2008, 10:23 PM

if 50 cent endorses it, i drink it

uhler · 03.20.2008, 11:14 PM

i like the straight edge XXX flavor. i think i only buy it cause it matches my tattoo, plus it's pretty good.
