I had just run a bunch of errands and I was hot and thirsty and wanted something cold and refreshing and as you all know I'm not drinking stuff with artificial sweeteners anymore. In the cold case next to the milk they had a few beverages and one in particiular caught my eye, a tall skinny bottle with brown dots with those magic word combo...chocolate and mint. My instinct was to grab several bottles because chocolate and mint...how could you go wrong? But then I thought, what if I don't like it? How can water really taste like chocolate and mint? All of this thinking made me even thirstier and I thought...just open it up and try it now..... just go ahead...open it, you're going to pay for it anyhow so its not like its a crime to open it now and take a drink otherwise I could die of dehydration before I ever make it to the check out.......so I opened it and tried it right there and then. And then I put a few more bottles in my shopping cart because it was SO GOOD!!!
It tastes like chocolate and mint but its just purified water with natural flavorings, zero calories, zero fat, zero everything but a fantastic flavor. How perfect is that when I want something chocolate but don't want the calories?
I bought three bottles and I noticed the bottle had something called a Chill Factor -2 on it and other bottles had different numbers. I checked out the website and apparently certain flavors taste colder or cooler. I've noticed when I put lime juice in ice water it tastes a lot colder and its a lot more refreshing, they add mint for an even cooler taste. I noticed they had other fruity flavors with mint as well as just peppermint and spearmint.Today we were out doing errands and we stopped back in Sweetbay and since I was very thirsty I thought I'd try the peppermint with a Chill Factor of -9...WOW!!! Kind of like when you take a drink of cold water when you have a mint in your mouth, WOW its cold but very refreshing.
Of course now I want to go to Costco and see if they sell them by the case. I'm loving this stuff!
FYI this is not a paid review because you know I don't do those. This is just me trying something and liking it and sharing it with you. However if the people at Metromint want to send me a few cases I'd be more than happy to sample them all and heck I'd even share them with you!
Um. YUM!! I'm going to be looking for this water, it sounds really good. Not much better than chocolate flavor for 0 calories!
ReplyDeleteI love metromint! I thought it would have that herby/grassy taste fresh mint sometimes has, but it doesn't at all!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds soooo good!
ReplyDeleteI can see why the bottle caught your eye... Very stylish and striking design.
ReplyDeletenow I have to google to see if it's here.
ReplyDeleteI'm doomed
I am definitely going to have to look for this stuff!
ReplyDeleteIve seen those and, thus far, have been TOO CHEAP to try em :)
ReplyDeleteI must be looking for some of that water!!! OMG!! Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteSorry to rain on your parade, but bottled water is THE biggest waste of money around AND it's a source of pollution to boot. Think of all those plastic bottles that don't get recycled. Do you have a recycling system where you live? I hope so, but if not, you're really not doing your bit for the environment.
ReplyDeleteI've really upped my water consumption this year, but I'm now making a conscious effort to bring a metal water bottle with me when I go out so that I drink the water that I need while polluting less and putting less strain on our water resources.
Just my point of view...
I'm adamant about recycling bottles, especially the plastic ones. I have a little confession. I have this weird thing about me where I can't stand to drink water from a glass. I buy the BPA sports bottles and refill them from my filtered water for most of my water drinking. Metromint is just for a treat, not a regular thing.
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm very impressed by those nutritionals! Never even heard of this before but I'm super intrigued. And I love that you opened it right there in the store!
ReplyDeleteI don't normally do flavored water, but I might have to look for this stuff! :-) Thanks for letting us know about it.

These are so good Scale Junkie! They taste just like junior mints to me. I just wish they weren't so expensive. They are a rare treat for me, but definitely a treat! Glad you've found them.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think the chocolate flavor is the best!
