Gross, Vitamin Water! Gross!

Filed under food by at 8:32 am on Apr 21 2009

So I was really psyched at the advent of “Vitamin Water 10”, the low calorie version of one of my favorite drinks. I’ve read science back and forth on the health value of the original, and people are always decrying the sugar. Well no more! So thus I found myself delighted to see several flavor options of Vitamin Water 10 appear at the lunch buffet.

I was still delighted as I sat drinking my “energy: tropical citrus” drink with the less pleasant but tolerable stevia taste. At least, I was until I was idly perusing the nutrition information on the bottle and read the following quirky youth-targeted marketing blurb on the label:

“calories per serving – that’s 10 minutes of online ‘dating'”

AUGH!

Dear makers of vitamin water,

I do not want to associate that with my morning health beverage. Ever. I mean, seriously? I immediately didn’t want to drink your product anymore because I was thinking… GOD! GROSS! I mean really. I’m drinking over here.

Sincerely,
Kim
