As a kid, I cherished SoBe drinks and the rare opportunities to indulge in them. Their magnificent hues and bold flavors infatuated me. If offered the choice to drink one beverage for the rest of my life, I surely would have accepted SoBe.
In middle school the drinks lost some of their appeal. Maybe it's because I started buying some of my own things and SoBe ran a little high for a $2/week allowance...
Regardless, SoBe has once again attracted my attention with their Zero Calorie Lifewater. The colors are as bold and beautiful as I remember them:
But mere appearance has deceived me in the past. At first I was wary of this new wonder water. I didn't want to tarnish my mind's divine image of SoBe with another disappointing diet drink (unintentional alliteration utopia).
Thankfully, SoBe Zero Calorie Lifewater reached my hopes. I had missed fun fruity drinks with my hypoglycemia, but now it's not so bad.
Of course, the numbers--
Price (1 cheap -> 5 very expensive): 1.5
Depending on the store, it can cost just a bit more than your average bottled water.
Quality (1 awful -> 5 wonderful): 4
I love the exotic flavors and variety. The taste is crisp and refreshing.
Authenticity (1 not at all similar -> 5 can't tell the difference!): 5
If the bottle didn't have the white tops I'd never know that the Zero Calorie Lifewater isn't the golden drink of my youth.
(P.S. I'm not an advertisement. I promise. I just thought that I should do some reviews of good products before the bad ones!)
These have 6g of carbs per 8oz. They're not exactly low carb. Try the powerade zero instead, if you're searching for a low carb drink. Sorry. :(
ReplyDeleteAccording their website, there are 8 grams of carbs in 20 oz, or one bottle. (http://www.pepsicobeveragefacts.com/infobyproduct.php?prod_type=1026&prod_size=20&brand_fam_id=1362&brand_id=1041&product=SoBe+Lifewater+Yumberry+Pomegranate)
ReplyDeleteI'll check out the Powerade next though. :)
