@Dan

Here’s one reason. Drinks containing artificial sweeteners, whether it’s aspartame, sucralose, or even high fructose corn syrup, almost always taste like crap.

“Just make sure you choose ones without artificial sweeteners like sucralose”

… and why is that? That’s a bold statement to make without providing explanation. That’s like If I said, “Remember to brush your teeth twice a day. But don’t use Colgate.” Then leaving it at that.

There are two types of sobe flavored water, the types are: zero calories and the better or other one. The lables that are a white background are the zero calorie and why pepsi thinks their new sweetener is good, who can understand? Like all artificial sweeteners they leave a nasty taste in your, mine and everyone’s mouth. So being as how you think it’s too watered down coach Levi, I think you are too watered down. The regular sweetened Sobe is almost perfect in every flavor. My only complaint is: every store I try to find it in they are out of the regulars and only have left the zero calorie junk.

I agree, What every they just recently did to the sobe water they need to change it back. It tastes nasty now. Yuck. It is worst than gatorade or powerade . I think I will stick with vitamin water.

I’m just miffed because Sobe changed the Life Water formula so now it tastes like all the other “fake-sweetener” garbage. The old Sobe life water was light and had just enough flavor. And best of all, it barely left an after-taste.
Now I find myself sifting through the grocery store shelves looking for the last bottles of the old Life water formula. How embarrassing! The old formula was crisper than Vitamin Water. This new Sobe Life water tastes awful. Whats up with the saccharine taste? What a shame. I’m now forced to buying Vitamin Water and watering it down. I hope the people at Sobe go back to the old Life Water formula. Maybe I can find some on Ebay. I tell yah, if someone had a forklift pallet of the “old” pomegranate-cherry Life Water formula, I would buy it!

@Jon
I am comparing Life Water to Propel because they can both be considered “flavored water” or “fitness water.”

@Heather
Yes, avoid sucralose!

the person above me is extremely ignorant. “jon ruiz” or whatever. propel contains sucralose which is farrr worse than natural sugar.

I can’t even see how life water is being compared to propel. Propel has 6 grams of sugar per bottle compared to life water’s 32.5 grams of sugar per bottle. Luckly for sobe the majority of the population doesn’t know how to read nutrition labels and thinks that since the word water is in it, it must be healthy.

Gatorade can be a bit sweet, but I would choose most flavored waters over Lifewater due to that weird taste mentioned in the review.
