Those sweet waters suck. Thin sweetness, and thin flavor. You want good water? Get some extracts from the spice section. I've tried lemon, anis, and peppermint so far, and they've all been great. ~1/4tsp per 500ml gives it a good flavor, with no sugar. It's cheap as shit, and better than most drinks you can buy.

Hmm will have to try this. I would have thought it would taste either bland as shit or just horribly "off". My father loves the new Aquafina brand of flavoured waters.

It isn't sweet. That could be an adjustment for some, and it's not a flavor explosion. If you go overboard, it would just be too much. Peppermint's my favorite. Very crisp, and leaves a lasting coolness in your mouth.

Not always, using artificial sweeteners can mess up how your body perceives a proper intake of sugar.
If one is use to just having artificial sweeteners if they were to start adding in actually sugar they are more likely to consume to much.

Meh. Just don't eat too much, you'll be fine.

Just drink Stevia, it's natural. Lifewater ftmfw. Oh, and Vitamin Water Zero w/ Stevia.

Fail.

I don't know how people buy "diet" flavored water. Buy regular bottled water and either do like someone else suggested and add spices, or hell, buy whatever sugar replacement you want and a kool-aid packet and make your own for less money.

I actually do that myself. But if he wants something marketed/pre-bottled then anything with Stevia is the way to go. Screw aspertame and splenda.

I tried Vitamin Water with Stevia and I couldn't stand the taste. I'm not sure if it was the Stevia or just that flavor but it was like dry-erase board cleaner. I'm going to have to try something else with Stevia to confirm.

The one I really liked was the orange. The others not so much...
