Food For Thought | Snapple Antioxidant Water | (Entered Apr. 06, 2008) |
Recent Food For Thought: | |||
I got a delivery from the US a few days ago from none other than Snapple, you know, those guys that made iced tea famous? Seems they're releasing a new product and they wanted me to test it out for them. Either companies out there were actually paying attention when I posted (in the chicken beer entry) that they should start sending me products directly, or Snapple doesn't trust their own product testers anymore. Postage from Brooklyn NY to Japan was more than $45, a tribute to the power of my tastebuds. Not to worry Snapple, I actually have a very refined palate. Anyway let's open it up and see whether their new Antioxidant Water is worth a damn. Four flavours! We've got Grape Pomegranate, Tropical Mango, Raspberry Acerola, and Dragonfruit. Apparently there are 7 flavours in total but Snapple saw fit to send me only these four. Their best ones mayhap? Having a blog is not without it perks! Let's get down to business shall we? I was joined in my testing by Kumi, to give Snapple some idea of what the Japanese market might think of their beverages. Thirst aside, Snapple's new drinks have power! They are also full of vitamins and electrolytes, reflecting the West's current need for everything they ingest to be cancer preventing, stress relieving, anti-aging, artery clearing, sex life improving and so on, an idea that has yet to really catch on in Japan. The flavours all come with their own interesting little blurbs saying stuff like how this drink tastes better than the fountain of youth, and that drink acts as your own personal bodyguard, etc. Different flavours give you different powers, namely the power to protect, awaken, defy or restore. That kind of thing is a little hard to test though, especially as my electrolyte/vitamin body performance testing machine is currently broken. For now I'll just have to take Snapple's word that their drinks are helping me stay young and virile. What's a taste test without a little video? If this doesn't make you thirsty for Snapple's Antioxidant Water I don't know what will.
