Soft Drink: Vitamin Water vital-t

Today's product is a pretty easy one to review.

Glaceau makes a great product called Vitamin Water. If you haven't seen, heard of, or tried it before, you really should get out more. It has inspired commercials like:
50 cent Conducts the National Symphony
David Ortiz and Brian Urlacher Play Badminton
Shaquille O'Neal Becomes a Jockey
Kelly Clarkson Charms a Snake
Kasey Kahne Herds Yaks
Lebron James Becomes a Lawyer
and
Tracy McGrady is a Sheep Tosser

Brilliant advertising.

Anyhow, this one is lemon tea flavored, and though I expected it to taste like watered down iced tea, it's actually a very well balanced tea-to-water flavor ratio.

Here's a wacky talking Vitamin Water viral thingy. I tried to make one to post on this blog, but it was loading really funky so I didn't leave it up.

(This is the top right picture in "Guess What I Tried!"2)

Pros:
Another great flavor to add to the list.
The story on the bottle is entertaining. (It mentions a certain TV show that featured four elderly women.)

Cons:
As with all Vitamin Waters, you will notice that the nutrition facts are equal, if not worse than a regular (non-diet) can of soda pop. It's actually very misleading, since there is so much information on the bottle of why it's "good" for you.

Verdict:
Vitamin Water, of any flavor, always gets my seal of approval and this one is no different. It's actually a great 'gateway drink' to lure an avid Snapple drinker over to the dark side.

fun review.

i really like that you pointed out that despite giving you lots of vitamins, it's not really a healthy drink. i long ago decided that it was still worth drinking.

i happen to be a vitamin water addict, but i feel that if you are going to feed an addiction you should be as knowledgeable about it as you can be.
:D

do you remember the one with the green tea? i think it was vitamin water rescue? that one was the BEST..what happened to it?

i guess vital t is the new green tea vitamin water...except for it not being green.

nothing beats the dragonfruit flavored one.

vitamin water actually gets dissed when people who make smartwater or whatever are like "i have to do 25 more pushups to burn this off?" (referring to vitamin water)
