Vitamin Water



High Comedy. Great Ad. But contrary to popular belief, bananas are not the kings of potassium. Both avocados and potatoes have more. Although bananas have to win for portability. I would be a little shocked if I saw someone pull a potato out of its (yah, I refer to sexually ambiguous people in the third person as "it") desk, peeled it and chomped right into it.

That and a couple Vitamin Water flavors contained substances banned by the NCAA. Read article HERE.

Caffeine and guarana are banned? That's a little ridiculous.

Even more interesting: Coke rebranding Vitamin Water as a sports drink (despite the caffeine)to challenge Pepsi's ownership of Gatorade. Memo to Coca-Cola: You own Powerade. Cannibalizing you're own brand is all the rage, like Abercrombie and Hollister. Pepsi used to sell All Sport back in the day. Remember those Shaq commercials?

Funny commercial but, man, that All Sport was garbage...and I think that little guy was the dude from Smart Guy
