Postby Enigma869 » Sun Jul 13, 2008 2:42 am

What will this world come up with next. The article I read actually had this quote about the product "All the flavor of regular water but only half the calories".. WTF?! :shock: :shock: :shock:

EW.

I hate regular water enough as it is.

I know drinking water is healthy but I can't stand the taste of just... water.

Thank goodness for flavored water and Gatorades/Powerades/Vitamin Waters/etc.

Same here - didn't we all drink from the garden hose as a kid? Heck, we didn't wear helmets or knee pads and we climbed trees and rode our bikes after dark.

And we survived! :D

uh.....good "water" has no taste. Anything you "taste" in water is either added artificially or naturally. Actually, the less flavor water has the better it will "appear" to taste to your senses. ;)

I hate regular water too, but it's pretty much all I drink these days. I was consuming more than a 2-liter bottle of diet coke every single day. I started reading up on Aspartame and found out how bad even diet soda is for you, so I stopped. I'll have one if we go out, but pretty much drink about a gallon of pure water a day now.

Yeah, but you know how people are. The marketing department figured people would buy it if they saw 'Diet' on it. And they're probably right. :lol:

Sapporo is a huge company so their research must show a market for it, at least in Japan.

The water contain B6 which can stimulate the thyroid and help decrease weight. It has been on the market since 2004 and it's got competition from Suntory, another huge company.

Check out the commercial

Seems to be the new thing "Enriched Water"

Postby Shadowsong » Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:19 pm

H20 Water is the essence of all life on this planet as we know it.
It is a delicate precise chemistry as is our bodies.
Why must we screw with everything?
Nature depends on balance

Sorry, this stuff really gets to me
especially as its infected the asian culture
once so pure with reverance to harmony

:(


I seriously doubt its efficacy as stated.

For the most part such hap hazard sprinkling of chemically derived esterifers & vitamins is either of no benefit or in some cases can cause a reaction in high doses as it blocks the absorption of another necessary element. If you have a problem with your thyroid you should see a DR.

I could be wrong but I don't think its really anything special unless you want to piss B6 away.

:lol:

I don't drink LA tap anymore
Once I used it to proof yeast for pizza.
I tried at least 3 packs & nothing til I realized that it was the water as it worked fine in filtered water.
I don't know what they put in the water & maybe its a good thing as not even yeast wants to live in it
but I don't want to put it in my body.

eeeek

I knelt upon the bank of a river in Australia in 86
& drank from its potion.
The water was soft
it's taste so pure
fed from springs of the mountain above
flowing from its eternal fountain
it's kiss forever sacred upon my lips

That's the insanity of it! Believe it or not, this really is a legitimate product! ANYONE who buys this crap should never be allowed to leave their house, ever again, as they're simply too dangerous to be out among us :shock: :shock: :shock:

Unfortunately, Gatorade is produced using water imported from the runoff of a Bulgarian goat farm.
