So I went to pick up my typical headache-curing breakfast this morning (sausage, egg & cheese with a Vitamin Water) like I do on most Mondays. It wasn’t until I devoured the sandwich and polished off my usual Raspberry-Apple drink when I realized something startling: the VW wasn’t Raspberry-Apple, but “Revive” which is like a fruit punch. The crazy thing was, it tasted just like the Raspberry-Apple that I usually get. This was very unnerving. I decided that I needed to get to the bottom of this. I walked back over to Scali’s on Pearl St. and purchased 3 more Vitamin Waters: Orange, Dragonfruit, and XXX. I went back to the office and started closing my eyes and sipping from each. The Orange had a bit of a tang, but it was very slight. The other 2 tasted exactly the same, and furthermore tasted just like Revive which I thought was Raspberry-Apple.
In conclusion, I am now convinced that Vitamin Water has 1 or 2 concoctions and puts different food coloring in them to market them as different flavors. If anyone out there is a psych major I will personally fund a study to explore the way we can convince ourselves of how something is going to taste.
Sorry for wasting 35 seconds of your time but I had to get that out.

na they taste different… this is like the whole keystone is just a dented coors light argument…. I true crappy beer connoisseur can tell the difference. The true conspiracy is why are all vitamin water / gatorade bottles shaped like a giant cock?

i think the giant cock thing has something to do with lebron james being a spokesperson, when he solved the case of the fake arm injury. by the way you know that court wasnt in boston because he hasnt brought any game to a court in boston in months…
and one last ranndom point… ill take propel over vitawater any day of the week. the lemon one is basically just that old gatorade flavor lemon ice… the best thing gatorade did since getting rid of the jordan flavor

this is jeff and i’m too lazy to open a google account. once again, i’ll deliver the truth to you retards. gatorade is garbage. propel is piss. vitamin water is the best shit in the world. but ONLY Focus. that’s right, kiwi strawberry or whatever that shit is. The pink one. Most refreshing stuff on the planet aside from good old ice cold agua. Anything besides Focus is just uncivilized. and that’s my three cents.
