"flavored water" news and stories

Volvic has always been my personal favorite as far as bottled waters go. Conversely, I've never found a flavored water or "fruit water" that I liked. So, naturally, I'm a little curious about Volvic's new offering in that field.

According to a recent BevNET review, the lemon flavor is "plagued by bitterness," but the orange version is much better. It is sweetened, making each bottle worth 60 calories. According to BevNET, there's also a slightly unpleasant aftertaste due to preservatives (potassium benzoate). Another review is available on DooYoo.

Overall, I'm a bit skeptical of these drinks, as most I've encountered just taste like a watered down version of something else. We'll see.
