Water Should Taste Somewhat Like Water

So I’m training for a new job that has me outside in the hot summer weather a lot. They suggested I bring a good supply of water. Last week I had a six-pack of my favorite water, Evian, and it really helped get me through two hot days.

Last night I remembered I didn’t have any bottled water for today and went shopping at the supermarket by my house. There was no Evian (I notice a lot of stores have trouble stocking Evian, does the spring in France dry up seasonally?). So I figured I might as well try some new waters, since I will be drinking a lot of it for a while. I pulled down a bottle of Coca-Cola’s Dasani, a bottle of Arrowhead, and then I saw something I’d never seen before:
Gatorade's Propel Fitness Water

It was Gatorade’s Propel Fitness Water. The label defined it as “Vitamin Enhanced Water Beverage.” What really attracted was the sale price of only $1 per bottle. It came in a variety of flavors and I got myself a Mango, Grape and Lemon.

So I’m today I got a little surprise when I chugged on the Mango Propel…it tasted like Kool-Aid! Instead of a refreshing drink of water, I got a sickening-sweet dose of kid syrup. Thank goodness I at least had the Dasani (really delicious after that stuff). The Gatorade made me queasy. I suppose it might be good for kids if they’re too bratty to drink water or take vitamins, but I really hope there aren’t too many adults out there who would prefer this liquid candy over drinking real water.

    I know right!? God. What do these people think? Its similar with diet sodas, extremely sweet. I used to buy propel and dilute it by 3 to 1. Silly.
    Kids today seem to like to drink cough syrup. The new energy drinks are Horrific. MY GOD. Rotten kids.
