Love Affair... With Vitamin Water

As once had been a love affair with the Bourbon and I, as is the love affair I now have with Vitamin Water.

I'm aware that it functions with a noticeable difference to regular Pure Life water, and the extra $1.25 out of my wallet daily is of no stretch for better quality and more bodily satisfaction, but am I purchasing the marketing as opposed to the product itself?
I'm attracted by the colours for sure, and the cute little paragraphs introducing the vitamin water of choice on the rapping puts a smile on my early morning face, but by goodness, I think I'm going overboard buying 2 a day! I bought 3 from Sobey's yesterday, and 4 from Price Chopper today!




This all started when I bought my first Vitamin Water (orange flavoured), I bought it thinking it would revitalize me for work. The next day, I bought another one, this time in the dragonfruit flavour. That same day, while on a evening break from my shift, a co-worker of mine (Dave) took his orange flavoured Vitamin water out fo the fridge, and thus began a discussion about water and the body's liqiud nutrients. From that day on, all I did was drink Vitamin water.

I have noticed a difference in my body however... I've been peeing more. I'll tell you why. After that conversation, all I did was check to make sure I was drnking the right amount of water I needed for the day, up until this day. I'm down 250 more mL of water in my system, but I have about 3 hours before I go to bed, so it's no problem. Now, drinking Vitamin Water just gives that extra umph needed to get through my day without the stress of unhealthiness. Or better yet, I'd be going through my day knowing that I'm meeting the required vitamin intakes every human on Eart should be getting!


The Vitamin Water I'm obsessed with is the fruit punch one. It's called "restore", and that's basically what it does. It supposedly is made for individuals who are 18 or over because it's formulated with that much crap. It also says to drink no more than 2 a day, while the others say to drink no more than 4 a day. That screams out to me, "more nutrients!", so that would evidentaly be the one I would drink the most. The fruit punch flavour is pretty good too.

Now with that information aside, I think I'm going to continue drinking Vitamin Water, but I'll try to lesten it for sure, seeing as I shouldn't be wasting my money on things like this, when I could be wasting it on better things at better places, like a slot machine at the casino that might actually give me some revenue.
Then I'd have more money to waste on Vitamin Water!
