Anybody read the label on one of these things? I have been hammering them back like they were plain water, WTF... I should have put my glasses on sooner.

    Sorry, I realize that I came off as mean. Not my intent.

    Good thing you caught it now, I'd be frustrated too!

    Yep...I stay away from pretty much all flavored drinks since I started looking at the labels. Unless the ingredient is "water" (and nothing else), don't drink it! Although, coconut water is all right and a good way to replenish electrolytes if you need them!

    That's why reading labels is so important!
    False advertising is a huge problem these days. The only concern of the people making the food is how much money it makes them- they couldn't give two craps about selling a quality product. They use cheap ingredients to lessen the cost to themselves which ends up making some scary unhealthy "healthy looking" products!

    I read on the front of a label the other day, "no preservatives". I turned the bottle around and it was loaded with sodium. And what is that? A PRESERVATIVE. I read everything these days.

    DELICIOUS WATER:

    1 wedge of lemon
    1 small sprig of peppermint chopped
    2-3 cups of water
    stir & add ice cubes.

    SO GOOD! Who needs bottled water... what a waste of money and earth's precious resources...

    Some plain bottled water has sodium added. Gotta read the labels on EVERYTHING.
