i was given the opportunity to try and review these drinks and i'm really glad i did because now i know it's not for me. I was very excited my the flavors, and i followed the instructions of chilling it before consuming, and honestly i found that these drinks made me thirstier than i already was. it sort of tasted like artificial sweetener, minus the sweetness. there was also a weird after taste to it. but i'll admit the taste at first when it's still chilled isn't bad, but i cant drink fast enough that it will become room temperature and the taste becomes a little off. I've never been a fan of flavored water though, i find it defeats the purpose of water itself. this wasn't for me, but it may be for others. I've noticed many people really like it, but i find that for me drinking this will only make me purchase another drink after to quinche my thirst due to this drink.

I am a big water drinker. I always thought flavored waters were not all they were said to be and found out I was totally right. These waters made me want to drink less but, not because of the first taste.

1- I found they made me less thirsty.
2- The flavors weren't quite what I expected.
3- They leave a horrible after taste in your mouth.

I found after drinking a bit of these drinks, that I just wanted to have a regular glass of water to get the taste out of my mouth and ended up dumping them down the drain, rinsing out the bottle and filling it with above all....tap water. I do not usually drink tap water but, it was better than what I had in the bottle to begin with.

Some people may like these sort of things...but, they are just not for me. I will stick to my vitamins and spring water which, by the way, is always Aquafina.

Flavored water just isn't a way to go.

Disclaimer: I am not a regular flavoured water drinker, and prefer the taste of water to nearly all other forms of drink (including alcohol). So this post may be unusually relevant, OR irrelevant to you.


TASTE
Quite strong. Other than the lemonade flavour the drinks tasted fairly natural and almost tasted like watered down juice. That said, due to the strong flavour of the water, I found that when I drank this rather than regular water, I consumed substantially less, which is odd since the intent with these is to get more of your daily intake of water.

FUNCTION
I tried taking one of these to the gym with me and found that it did not give me the same energy as water. Furthermore, I spoke with my instructor (a big fan of flavoured vitamin enhanced water), who actually recommended Vitamin Water instead, since it also has a bit a caffeine in it for extra kick. So if you're looking for a sports drink of sorts, that brand may be a better choice.

OVERALL
The favour is ok, the value is average for the type of product it is, but really, it didn't even go near to converting this aquaphile to the flavoured/bottled stuff.

I really liked this drink. As soon as I opened the bottle the smell of what was inside was fantastic and the taste was even better. My husband, who is usually very picky about what he drinks, loved it as well. I loved all three flavours that I got to sample and would definetly buy it again. It quenched my thirst and was a taste sensation.

I was excited to try this because i like the idea of drinking my vitamins, but I wasn't overly impressed. The flavors are ok, but pretty sweet, especially the apple pear one. I liked the strawberry lemonade best.

I'm probably a bit biased because i really do love regular old water. I drink it like crazy. Anyways, i thought the product was fairly good for a flavored water, just a little too sweet for me, and it is a little fake tasting. But compared to other flavored waters i've tried, i thought it was pretty good; If i had a friend who was into this kind of thing, i'd recommend the strawberry lemonade flavor because of the taste, and the fact that it contains vitamins.

Overall: not for me, but a half decent product.

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club and I must say that this product seriously dissappointed me. I found the bottle large and awkward and the contents a little "blah". I am a diabetic and frequently purchase sugar free flavored waters as an alternative to diet soda or plain H20. This product did not compare to other that I purchase on a regular basis. I did not like the flavor of this water and found that it left an aftertaste...if I did have to pick a "favorite" I'd say that the Apple Pear was not bad. But it definetly needs to be drinken cold! It is not a beverage that I would keep in my bag when I am out and about. I am also unsure of the benefits of the added vitamins. As someone who takes a daily multivitamin and eats healthy, well balanced meals, I do not think that the added vitamins are an added benefit. I probably will not purchase this water, and I don't think I would recommend it to friends.

I recieved the 3 flavours of Aquafina Plus Vitamin 10cal waters through the product review club. I was disappointed. The packaging is very attractive and the bottles are easy to hold, although I found the flavours to be strange and and artifical/medicinal tasting. I usually drink just plain water but have had flavoured water before that were much better than this. If I had to choose one of the 3 that I liked the best it would be the Berry flavour. Another thing I didn't quite understand was the 10cal part. If you read the label it had something like 16g of carbohydrates (1g of carbs = 4 kcals) which would be 64 calories not 10 kcal?!? Sorry to break out the "science" of calories.
I wouldn't recommend these to a friend. If you are going to drink these beverages I would follow the instructions on having the bottles chilled and maybe even using ice.

My favourite of the 3 flavours that I was given to sample was the strawberry lemonade. As others have posted, I do also agree these were quite sweet for flavoured water. Maybe because I am someone who actually enjoys drinking just good ol' plain water, but this was too sweet. I also love to add either lemons or lime to my water, but this doesn't make it sweet. I was hoping these waters would be something like that -- just added flavour. The sweetness was enough to convince me that I probably would not be purchasing this item in the future.

I am generally not a fan of flavoured water. I like regular water. But I was very excited to be given the opportunity to try these waters. I had high hopes for them.

My biggest complaint about most flavoured water is a weak, watery, often medicinal taste. I will admit, the Aquafina waters had none of these. The flavours were stong and not watered down. There was no medicinal taste. But they were very sweet. Too sweet, in fact. And a little bit too artificial tasting. I would rather drink either plain water, or fresh juice, not a sugary-tasting hybrid of the two.

This product is not terrible. And I might recommend it to some people, but I was not overly impressed with it's taste. Overall, an okay drink. But there are better beverages out there.

I was excited to try out this product as part of the "Product Review Club". I was surprised to see so many bottles in my delivery, I expected only 1-2 bottles. I got a variety of flavours which was great. I like the idea of drinking water instead of carbonated drinks and still getting your vitamins in there. However, this product fell short for me, I wasn't a fan of the taste at all, it seemed really fake tasting. For example, I am normally a big fan of lemonade drinks, I like the citrus aspect, but the Strawberry lemonade flavour in this was just sugary and fake tasting. I didn't like it. I will finish off these bottles of course, but I wouldn't repurchase this myself. I'd much rather opt for something like Vitamin Water.
