Vitamin Water is undoubtedly one of the hottest brands to hit South Africa this year.
I really am inspired by some awesome brands available in todays world. Brands like Apple who shaped the music industry or our own local vida e caffe, which is quickly becoming a flagship for express coffee shops. These brands infuse and shape industries because of their power and innovative objectives.
Now let me introduce you to my new favourite…. Welcome South Africa to the world of Vitamin Water
What is Vitamin Water?
Glaceau Vitamin Water is a low calorie, great tasting enhanced water that is made with spring water and is packed with valuable nutrients.
Why should you drink vitamin water?
Vitamin water has a combination of nutrients to deliver a specific benefit to get you through the day.
Where did Vitamin Water come from?
Vitamin Water was started way back in 1996 in New York City when a humble genius named J.Darius Bikoff was feeling the double blow of raging thirst and low energy. En route to a yoga class, Bikoff gobbled a vitamin c wafer and chased it with a swig of water. The electric combination of flavor and nourishment inspired Bikoff to develop Glaceau Vitamin Water, a great tasting lifestyle beverage that’s packed with nutrients, and contains no artificial flavours or colours.
Glaceau Vitamin Water was launched in 2000, changing the beverage industry forever as the first in the enhanced water category. Their unique vision has built Glaceau into the leader of the active lifestyle category in the US, where it is already an iconic product amongst trendsetters, tastemakers, movers and shakers.

... Do you know if it has aspartame in it? I know most of the other flavoured water out there does as a replacement for sugar and it can sometimes have super bad effects on the brain if ingested in high doses... also im allegic  |

... hi all welcome to the world of glaceau vitaminwater, just wanna clear up a few misconceptions that have been writen on this blog- glaceau vitaminwater is not made from spring water as bo suggests, it is made with normal water that is purified through a process called reverse osmosis. glaceau vitaminwater does not contain any preservatives,artificial colours or artificial flovours or artificial sweetners,it contains natural cane sugars and crystalline- it does not contain aspartame at all. glaceau vitaminwater is available in around 94 outlets across cape town to date and growing by the day. there are 6 varients available, each with different key vitamins and nutrients for every ocasion and time of the day. if you have any question please ask me, hope to see you all at the pop up party tomorrow night. remember to hydrate responsibly, glaceau vitaminwater, try it! |

... Morning guys/ladies... Hope you had a great weekend. I know this is random but I have been introduced to vitamin water about a week ago and boy do I love it. I play astro hockey and the vitamin water hydrates me alot better than anything else during a game. Most of my team mates are stoked about it as well. Do you know who I can speak to about a possible sponsorship of vitamin water? There is a USSA varsity tournament happening in bloemfontein next week and my team mates and I, would love to consume vitamin water during our games. And I think all the other varsity's will then be exposed to the awesome vitamin water as well. We are reprsenting CPUT at the tournament. So please let me know who I can contact bro... Would be really great to hydrate ourselves with vitamin water have a top day bollie You can email me at picklepie30@gmail.com |
