While searching for something to drink inside a gas station convenience store, I noticed this odd looking bottle which I first thought was just plain mineral water.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it’s a product called Nature’s Spring Flavored Water. My curiosity got the better of me and so I purchased it.
At first, I wanted to buy the Apple flavored one but I finally decided on the Honeydew. The drink is actually nice, although the flavor of the “melon” is really strong. Another observation is that it’s really sweet, so it’s not a good beverage if you’re thirsty. (Drink water instead!)
I looked at the nutrition facts on the label and it says that a 350ml bottle has 90 calories. Moreover, the ingredients say that it has sugar, citric acid, potassium sorbate, sodium citrate and artificial flavorings.
Hmmm. The product is a bit misleading in my opinion. It’s not flavored water at all but more of like a “clear artificial juice”.
How about you? Have you tried drinking this? What do you think about it?
I am officially curious!
This just shows how important a product name is in marketing strategies.
I prefer Summit Zero Cal, formerly Summit Clear carbonated flavored water.
