Review of Meijer Watermelon Flavored Water
In my daily quest to keep caloric intake down, I realize one
of the areas that it is best to cut back is when enjoying a beverage. I usually
accompany daily meals with coffee, unsweetened ice tea, water, and occasionally
diet soda for calorie free refreshment. I have recently noticed the assortment
of fruit flavored waters sold at Meijer. I decided to try their watermelon
flavored water.
The water is sold in seventeen ounce plastic bottle
portions. Bottle opens with a carbonated “fssst”, and pours light and fizzy over
a tall glass of ice. The sparking beverage is pleasing to the eye and reminds
me of the occasional watermelon flavored jolly ranchers I sometimes enjoy at my
desk.
Taste
First taste was crisp and delightful. While there are
artificial sweeteners (sucralose), I did not really pick up on any heavy or
negative flavor one typically associates with such products.
Price
The Meijer line of fruit flavored water is sold as 12 ounce
single bottles. There are no six or twelve pack arrangements. A single bottle
of the watermelon sparking water goes for eighty nine cents. Competitive fruit
flavored labels of similar size go between $1.00 and $1.20.
Overall Result
I love watermelon flavor so this was an easy thumbs up. I
like the taste of this beverage and find it an excellent break from drinking
diet soda or tea. I have also not seen this flavor of water carried by other
companies so I rate this product a strong buy.
