Whereas, the whole vitamin water concept strikes me vaguely as the liquid version of "Just eat a frelling muffin, whitey!"
It's like drinking juice or soda, but less sweet, which is what I'm looking for.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Lewis Black has a great bit on bottled water and how "Aqua Fina" is "the end of water as we know it."
Aqua Fina just tastes wrong, dude.

I filter at home, mostly so I can keep it crazy cold. It does taste a bit better, but that's not such an issue in Chicago as in other places I've lived. But for out of the house, I love being able to grab a bottle wherever I go. I'm not organized enough, or regular enough in my habits, to make my own.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
hee ... that sounds like something Martha Stewart would come up with, "make your own water!" As a matter of fact, I think someone did a parody of her with just that.

I only drink out of my Brita, but DC has NASTY tap water (though by now, I don't notice it so much). Mostly, however, it's just so that I've got cold water and don't have to put ice cubes in it. I hate ice cubes unless I have a straw.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, it hits a nice spot where it is tastier than water and less crap than juice/soda. On the other hand, I picture VH1's "I love the 00's!" and the Michael Ian Black-bot mocking us for going apeshit over watered-down gatorade.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Has he tasted Gatorade? Because I have had a bunch of both Vitamin Water and watered-down sports drinks, and the difference in taste is HUGE. Now, there's bitching to be done about Fruit Water, but I like it so much that I'm not going to do it.

I'd rather drink Tijuana tap water.
That's a great interview, paperdol!
