Now here’s something you wouldn’t expect. Coca-Cola is being sued by a non-profit public interest group, on the grounds that the company’s vitaminwater products make unwarranted health claims. No surprise there. But how do you think the company is defending itself?
In a staggering feat of twisted logic, lawyers for Coca-Cola are defending the lawsuit by asserting that “no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage.”
Does this mean that you’d have to be an unreasonable person to think that a product named “vitaminwater,” a product that has been heavily and aggressively marketed as a healthy beverage, actually had health benefits?
Or does it mean that it’s okay for a corporation to lie about its products, as long as they can then turn around and claim that no one actually believes their lies?
Those damn corporations. They think the public is really stupid.
Wait…

Even the label design screams healthy. Come on Coke your just out for the money! Like every other company out there. I guess if your stupid enough to believe their hype. Then you deserve to waste some money on Vitamin Water.

# 2 Personality said, “I would only drink that with vodka.” AHA! Then it WOULD be a health drink!
If I do a bike ride 50 miles or longer I keep a 3L Camelback full of icewater and two waterbottles with a very diluted Gatoraide mix, from the powder. Not only because it is extremely cheap in comparison to the pre-mixed stuff, but so I can control how strong it is. If I’m doing a century I’ll keep a baggie with enough for a third bottle. It’s rare that I need it.
Meanwhile, I see weight weenies and wannabe racers with 4 bottles of Gatoraide (or the bike shop special formula), glucose power shots, power bars, etc.
Walking chemical dumps.
But then again, I drink a lot of diet coke…
This reminds me of Obama claiming the tax penalty for people without health insurance was not a tax, but a fine, then in court claiming that it was constitutional because of the government’s power to tax.

For those who wondering how the “science of food” seems to have gone completely bonkers..(let alone our science [and country] in general), Here is some insight into mentality of all the “Czar” frontmen being created and hired into our government -and the people hiring them.
“The Mapmakers of Society”
This article/summary of a book paints a perfect picture of the “script” they (and their predecessors) have been following since the 1900′s.
Happy wake-up call!

“no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage.”
I agree. Read the ingredients. You’d have to be a complete inbred, fucktarded moron to think otherwise. Especially if it’s sold by Coca Cola.
Dihydrogen monoxide is both an acid and a base, would you drink either!. Dihydrogen monoxide is both a coolant and a lubricant would you bath in it! Dihydrogen monoxide is toxic if you drink you were to ingest to much. Local Govt. charges us to receive and remove Dihydrogen monoxide to and from our homes. Dihydrogen monoxide is a conspiracy, right up there with fluoridated water,and the JFK assassination. We as a nation should rise up against this infernal material. Call your councilman, call your mayor, call your Governor, call your congressman, call the president, call your mom and warn her. Dihydrogen monoxide is the devil.
Umm I checked the web and it turns out Dihydrogen monoxide is H20 (water) please disregard previous rant, except for fluoride and JFK. Have a nice day.

I’ve tried to cut back on dihydrogen monoxide, but every time I do I get ill. If I don’t drink enough DHMO my pee gets dark yellow and I get dry mouth and headaches. If I go to long without it, I start convulsing…
I really think The Man has me hooked on this stuff and I’ve got no way or support system to get off this dangerous drug. Where’s the FDA with some helpful pamphlets about the safe use of DHMO?
I fear that since the proliferation of DHMO has been so successful, the Government may start importing heroin and telling us that’s good for us too or that trains are better than planes!
Oh wait….
Well if someone can get away with selling “Male Enhancment” pills, they certainly can get away with “Vitamin Water”
