The Flavored Water Hoax



Vitamin Water, Propel, and now Special K Protein Water. While I commend the marketing teams for trying to convince us that such drinks are water, I'm here to tell you otherwise.

Just look at the picture of the Special K Protein Water. The so-called "water" comes in either lemon, strawberry, or tropical flavors. Hmmm that's interesting because I thought water was flavorless. Plus, the supposed "water" comes in different colors. Well that seems a bit odd considering water is colorless. Lastly, the nutrition facts of the K water record 8g of sugar. Well that can't be right, because as far as I know, water has no calories.

The jig is up Special K Protein Water - your true stripes are revealed. The drink isn't water, but rather some fancy protein juice. You can't fool me.

To all the people out there drinking the fake water products -- stop lying to yourselves. Propel isn't water. Sure it looks like you are being healthy and active, but you are not. Instead, you are feeding a juicy water addiction. It's okay if you like the stuff, really it is. But if you are going to drink the product then please own up to its content.

"You like-a da juice... the juice is good, eh?"

Either drink water or drink juice, but you can't have it both ways.

Well, it's true that water is supposed to be plain. A lot of people don't like plain water and big business likes to capitalize on this. You could always buy a book on making your own flavored water - Cool Waters
