CocaCola's defends their product against charges of unwarranted health claims. "no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage."→[More:] Like Fox claiming their "News" program is entertainment so it needn't be accurate.

I don't get it. VitaminWater = vitamins + water, right? Vitamins are good. Water is good. What's not healthy about it?

It's always the servings per container that kill you.

Of course it is! Who the hell eats only HALF a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese?

I hate that half a serving. It means you have to buy another one to get the other half-serving. That's how they getcha.

VitaminWater is healthy for me because it helps me drink uncaffeinated, uncarbonated liquids. I suppose I could just go with Kool-Aid, but I hate that telltale red mustache, INORITE???

Melismata: I have been known to go postal on people because they want to share a box of mac & cheese with me. That's just not how it's DONE.

I have found the Revive flavor to be particularly good for combating hangovers. This is probably a combination of placebo effect and my own suggestability. I usually drink the zero calorie stuff, though.
