Twice this week I bought what I thought was naturally flavored carbonated water and it turned out to be soda, with tons of sugar substitute in it.  WTF?
maybe the sugar substitute was that natural stevia crap....

How about putting a splash of cranberry in your water. I hear it can help with cramps too.  :P

NOT!  The problem is that when I see "0 calories" and "Naturally Flavored Water Beverage", I don't bother to read the ingredient list.  The key is "Beverage".  Fuckers tricked me again!

Truth is that my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I should have been wearing glasses to see the list of ingredients.  I don't even know what half this shit is:

Filtered Water, Citric Acid, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavor, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Citrate, Sucralose, Calcium Disodium Edta

It's not like I'm all about healthy eating or anything but don't fucking deceive me.

RANT OVER

Truth is, I love water.  I generally don't want carbonation or flavoring but it caught  my eye and I bit.  Earlier in the week, my wife asked me to buy her some lemon carbonated water (she's all about the carbonation) and I bought some similar shit.

OK, RANT OVER

The word 'natural' or 'all-natural' is definitely one that is abused pretty regularly on labels

Imagine purchasing and lighting what you think is going to be some great cigar and finding out you're smoking a Kuba Kuba.  No offense, BD.

But, if it WAS a really great tasting cigar, what does it matter that it's a Kuba Kuba?  I agree, and try to stay away from buying any bottled water product, but been burned by not interpreting the propaganda on the label properly.

Hi all.

Hi all.

Labeling can definitely be deceiving... and it's made that way on purpose. I'm sure a lot of folks would be surprised of what they like or don't like if it was actually unlabeled product... They'd give a more 'honest' and unbiased opinion anyway.

Afternoon, Sammy
