I think your decision tree on "should I drink this" needs a little refinement. Separates when frozen really doesn't mean much.

Really? So what does it mean then? Like I said, that's the only beverage I've ever seen that does that. If that's not a red flag that it's not the pure and healthy that everyone claims it is then I don't know what is.

Anything that drops out of solution with a temperature change that small is suspect in my opinion. Aside from that, next time you go to the store, look at all of the bottles of a certain flavor. Dig back on the shelves. There's a significant color difference between bottles of the same flavor. That's suspect as well....there's no way it's the same stuff in both bottles if it's different colors.

I don't really remember that being claimed. It's got plenty of sugar in it, but I just don't think it's worse for you than soda just because the ingredients seperate at cooler temperatures.

After a long day of working outside I find hose water really good. Not something I do often but when its really hot, hell yeah

The whole PRINCIPLE of vitamin water is that the vitamins are encapsulated so you don't taste them in the water. If they weren't, it would taste like absolute ass. (Try chewing on a vitamin pill sometime.) Same with a lot of fruit juices which advertise added vitamins / omega 3s, etc. If you freeze them, the tiny (basically microscopic) capsules are cut by the water crystals and then thawing it mixes the vitamins into the liquid turning everything to crap.

Lol. Completely arbitrary standard for health. It makes no sense to assume ANYTHING about it being more or less healthy by whether or not is separates when frozen. Wow.

Oh yea, natural peanut butter separates when it sits for a while. Would you claim its less healthy than regular peanut butter, have scientists recently discovered that partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is the secret to long life and happiness?

God people who get all riled up over people buying bottled water are annoying. I drink faucet water (water cooled through my fridge) basically all day long, but I have to chill the crap out of it basically to make it taste okay. I dont even buy bottled water due to the price and constant waste of plastic it is, but I also don't get angry when I see someone drinking an Evian. I am also not dumb enough to pretend it doesn't taste better. If Evian came out of my kitchen faucet and tap came out of my bathroom, I'd fill all my cups up in the kitchen, and it has nothing to do with some comforting label that tells me its from the mountains

Some tool tried to say "it's there to hydrate you, not to please your tastebuds" or whatever, guess what? Clothes are there to cover you and food is there to nourish you, so put down the fucking cheeseburger and eat some raw vegetables and start wearing wal mart clothes. God what a jerk off you are.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Ham n Cheese again.

I lol'd. Btw, Gatorade G2 (orange and kiwi strawberry) is great.

Vitamin water is koolaid with vitamins. Also wasn't it the orange stuff that got recalled once before?
