SoBe Life Water - What’s The Point?
I’ve got to admit I never really understand buying flavored water (or buying plain water - I mean the stuff falls from the sky for anyone to take). But while I was out an about recently I got a terrible thirst. Unable to find a water fountain (remember when stores gave away free water?) and unwilling to pay the same price for plain water as flavored water I decided to go for the latter. Checking the Nutrition Facts labels I decided to go with SoBe Life Water-
Calories 100
Fat 0g
Sodium 95g
Carbs 25g
Compared to water those are all pretty high, but compared to pretty much anything else in the beverage section they’re on the low side. Besides this SoBe Life Water will “Shield Your Life” (or my life in this instance) with the addition of rosehip and acerola extract. I’ve never heard of acerola and have no idea what rosehip is supposed to do, but “Orange Tangerine” sounded appetizing at the moment.
The stuff doesn’t taste too bad. It was refreshing because it was cold, and it definitely didn’t make me more thirsty, which some colas do. Overall, I guess I’d give it a 4 out of 5 based on what it is. But I still don’t really see the point in flavored water…
