Is it just me or doesn’t vitaminwater (the 10 calorie version) have a strong aftertaste? I recently bought a big pack of vitaminwater from costco (like 24 bottles). It comes in 3 different flavors (energy/citrus, pomegranate, and lemonade). the first time i sipped one, which was the pomegranate flavor, i’m like ‘ughh…this almost tastes like the regular version but not quite and with a strong aftertaste.’ it’s like a similar aftertaste you get from diet soda. no one will tell you that a diet coke tastes exactly the same as regular coke. (i prefer pepsi myself).

i had several more bottles since, each time telling myself, maybe i’ll grow to like it, like i did with diet pepsi. but no, i’m still not a big fan of this 10 calorie version of vitaminwater, only because of the aftertaste that their sweeteners leave behind. they even claim “naturally sweetened”. well it doesn’t taste like natural sugar to me. I give it a grade of D….below expectations, but there aren’t many good alternatives for flavored drinks that aren’t super high in calories or sugar. can anyone recommend their favorites?
