    sure you make a point maybe we should swap out the vitaminwater for a redbull, and add a snack pack of adderol.
    i always thought vitamins were better than caffine and medicated speed.. but take your pick

    How much sugar per ounce? About the same as Soda?

    Call it what it is SugarWater! Stop talking about health attributes when most people already consume enough vitamins everyday anyways.

    Some materials sourcing manager is out of a job!

    Actually, a 12oz serving of Vitaminwater is 60 calories and 12g of sugar. Comparatively, a 12oz serving of Coca Cola Classic has 145 calories with 40g of sugar.

    neither good nutrition nor creative license need to be replaced because “we get enough already, maybe, i think”. this brand has made a point to stand out and provide a healthy alternative to the status quo.
    fyi, there isn’t any caffeine or taurine in the new 12oz bottles…reacting responsibly to a young consumers needs.
    mmmm… responsibility tastes good!
