Mich. Golden Light didn't make the list. I'm good. 8) Title: Re: the worst things to drink... Post by: Spanky on June 02, 2008, 10:26:38 AM Not quite what I thought it would be. Was thinking it was going to be something like what cities had the worst tap water.

Title: Re: the worst things to drink... Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on June 02, 2008, 02:28:30 PM This doesn't surprise me one bit. It was the topic of a recent discussion with my best friend. So many things are labeled as "healthy", but if you take a moment to actually read the ingredients and nutritional information, you'd see that many, many, many things are far from it. Some things not labeled as healthy can be a healthier choice than those that are. Even "fruit-flavored" water has tons of sugar added, not to mention fruit-flavored probably means artificial flavoring.
I'd better not start on things that are labeled "100% whatever" that are not 100% whatever, but can be labeled that because they are made with 100% whatever and are processed with a bunch of other things.... Title: Re: the worst things to drink... Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on June 02, 2008, 02:51:02 PM I've only tried VitaminWater. I thought it was terrible. [sm_disgust] A (different) friend of mine was raving about how good it was and how "the vitamins" gave her energy for her studies and classes after an already long day working.... So when Nichole and I were browsing along (she's one of the few people who can make shopping fun, but that's more because of the company than because either of us particularly enjoy it as a pastime) and passed by all the many flavors, we decided to take a look. Well, that's all it took, too. One look at the label and it wasn't for me. Title: Re: the worst things to drink... Post by: Torpedo on June 02, 2008, 02:52:52 PM One look at the label and it wasn't for me. The design was that bad huh? ;) Title: Re: the worst things to drink...

I wouldn't mind that as an occasional treat, but my mom would probably have a heart attack once she heard about it. Could be worse... like 66 tbsp. That's almost enough to frost 2 cakes. :D Title: Re: the worst things to drink...

Title: Re: the worst things to drink... Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on June 02, 2008, 08:19:19 PM Who in the **** drinks a quart's worth of shake? Well, somehow they were able to fine the approximate average that it takes to drink it, so there must be a few people who do. And since it's labeled as a "health bar shake", I'm guessing there might be people drink it in place of a meal. Really, it's not that hard to eat a quart of ice cream, and shakes aren't any more filling than that would be. 32oz would be boring though. I'd rather have 2 16oz shakes.
