I'm here today to sing the praises of SmartWater brand H2O.

I had never heard of it until a few weeks ago when I picked some up at Kroger.

It's vapor distilled water instead of just purified from the tap. This gives it a nice neutral taste, which I prefer.

Plus it has fewer calories than regular water.

Only downside -- it's fooking expensive :/

This is now the only brand I buy.

I buy it occasionally, not too often because it is expensive for what it is.

Still, I agree with you on the neutral taste aspect. It is very nice and noticeably different from the other bottled waters, which really surprised me.

It has "fewer calories than regular water" - so, like, negative calories, since water has no calories to begin with?!

if you put it in the freezer for a while... it gets nice and cold, but before it freezes.... you can then take it and slam the bottom of the bottle on the counter and the whole thing slushes instantly.

It is awesome.

Well now that sounds worth the expensive cost alone! The fact that you can then drink it for sustenance is just a bonus.

Maybe they should market it as a cheap science experiment that you can then drink when you're done!

This does NOT compute.

Taste great and leads to an early death, just what I always look for in water. Distilled water is even worse for you than spring water as aside from lacking things in tap water like fluoride to help your teeth healthy it also lacks essential minerals your body requires. Personally I wish the stupid fad of bottled water would die already.

That also works with beer, they just did a Mythbusters episode where they tested that myth and it was confirmed.

If they could get rid of that beer taste.... that would be awesome for me. ;)

Well, you know ... you could read the SmartWater label and notice it has magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and potassium bicarbonate in it.
