Concept Water - New beverage in Thailand that I love

I discovered this by random while enjoying the air conditioning in a local upscale supermarket akin to "Whole Foods." Most of the stuff is superfluous and just a fancy-pants version of something you can get anywhere at inflated prices - Just like Whole Foods. However, every now and then a gem is to be found in the stocks

We all know that drinking water is important, but sometimes having a Gatorade type taste to it all makes the experience far more enjoyable. The problem with Gatorade and other drinks like it is that they have a butt-ton of sugar in them, which kind of defeats the purpose. I mean, even at professional sports games the Gatorade coolers don't actually have any Gatorade in them because athletes don't drink that stuff. It has water in it. Anyway, I am getting away from the point.

The drinks all have B.S. names to them like "recover, rebuild, revive, and reload" and each bottle has a bunch of vitamins and other mystery additives like ginko biloba that is meant to be good for you. Whatever! I don't really care about that but what I do like is that these things taste wonderful.

We are all gonna find out in 20 years that artificial sweeteners are horrible for you but in the meantime I quite like the idea of something that has zero calories but still manages to taste like something.

I mean, look how productive and happy that lady is! Can't argue with that!

All of them are delicious but my favorite is the Lemonade one - presumably because they put extra ginko in that one (not true.) They cost about twice as much as water and as you might expect they consist of mostly water anyway. One bottle costs around 25 Baht, which is around 80 cents U.S. I think it is a good deal.

The company also responds immediately to messages and will deliver in bulk to your house for slightly less than 25 Baht per bottle. I haven't gotten to that point yet but I think I will.

It is made in Thailand so anyone not in this country is very unlikely to encounter it. However, if you do spot it in your local mini-mart I highly suggest you give this drink a go because unlike other zero calorie drinks this one actually tastes fantastic. Whether or not it actually contains the vitamins or if ginko actually does anything doesn't really matter to me, but if it is in there, and it does do something good... .that's just an added bonus.
