"Flavored Water"

Isn't flavoured water just...juice?

I love the Propel. They use actual sugar, so I don't mind it. No icky aftertaste like the ones with artificial sweetners.

I hate the ones that say: "slightly gasified", which usually means that the gas concentration is enough to use in a trench.

No, juice actually comes from an organic, living growing thing. Flavored water is pretty much straight from the chemistry set.

Why did Flavored Water suddenly become trendy? The stuff tastes gross.

That, and with all the Splenda and/or Nutrasweet crap they put in it, it's bad for you. Might as well either drink WATER, or just say to hell with it and get a soda...it's still bad for you, but at least it tastes better.

No, juice is watered-down-fruit.

Flavored water is fruited-down-water.

Actually, juice vs flavored water is the difference between putting the entire packet of Kool-Aid in the water, and just dropping enough in to give it a HINT of nastiness.

I'll stick to water-flavored water.

I thought the same exact thing! I was thinking that 'flavored water' was just kool-aid with lower sugar content.

I can't stand most of them (tho I do like a few of the Vitamin waters - and their bottles are good reading if you're in the mood for a chuckle), but mostly they taste plastic to me.

Give me water and slice of lemon, lime, or orange any day over that swill.

Writing challenge of the day: work the phrase "slightly gasified" into at least one paragraph of a current WIP. (HINTS: chili, burritos, beans, beef and broccoli, brussells sprouts.)

I love Propel too. I was drinking it before it became popular to drink it. Propel is fitness water, it's fortified with Vitamin B so I drink it about an hour before I go work out and it gives me loads of energy. (I sound like a commercial ).

Now there are so many companies coming out with the sachets that you can add to bottled water. I knew it wouldn't be long before someone figured out how to capitalize on the bottled water frenzy.

"I really wouldn't go in there if I were you," Maddy said.
"Like why?" Vicki looked bewildered.
"Well, uh, it might not be, you know, safe--"
"Like why?"
"'Cause, uh - he had the all you can eat burrito and refired bean special for lunch and the room might be, uh - slightly gassified---"
"Huh?" Vicki looked bewildered, than continued on down the hall.
"Slightly gassified?" Jimmy poked his head around the door to the Bakers' suite, looking bewildered.
Maddy gave him a look. "I didn't hear you coming up with any brainstorms, Einstein."

(Wish I'd had that word when I wrote the original scene - the problem was her boyfriend having three groupies in the hotel room, BTW, not biological weaponry.)

When you add stuff to water then technically it's not water anymore. Flavored water just makes me more thirsty and it dries my mouth out.

I prefer hot water, flavoured with Assam tea and some milk.

Yeah, like that short time Heinz had purple, blue, and green ketchups on the market, except they couldn't call them "ketchup" because they weren't red; I think they had to call them "tomato condiments". I've seen flavored water labeled as "flavored water beverage" or somesuch like that.

I decided to try one of these.

An hour later, AKA, NOW, my kidneys are tiny balls of pain, sewn into my sides. If a nap doesn't cure this, I am suing. o_o

Never before have I seen a man publicly admit to having tiny balls of ANY kind.

You're a credit to your gender, Bart.
