32oz of Kool-Aid has 16g of sugar.

these types of drinks including the energy drinks are the biggest FRAUDS out there. These companies are stealing dollars like it’s no tomorrow and they have the idiot Obama voters to thank. We are a nation of dolts and swindlers.

Wouldn’t it be nice if WE could sue these “groups” that are always making asses out of themselves with their lawsuits? Personally, I’m tired of all of them. Obama should force every one of them to either get jobs or go to jail.

Center for Science in the Public Interest has a garage and a dog. I believe the dog is their researcher, the guy is the lawyer.
These people are kook sthat only come out when they have a kook like Obama who will play to them.

I think $0.50 (aka fitty cent) had a stake in this juice... his take when Coca-Cola bought it was something along the line of $300 million+... I may be off a few million here and there.
I'm a KO stock holder and I just shake my head... that much coin for Kool Aide? Damn.
I guess the "brain trust" at KO (including Warren Buffett) did drink the Kool Aide.

Let’s see. Coke is selling Vitaminwater as a drink that has vitamins.
Whiny activist group is suing because, though it fulfills the claims Coke is making, on a totally unrelated note is has sugar in it.
What next? Offer a low-sodium version of a product and get sued because it still has the same amount of fat?

Center for Science in the Public Interest + Vitamin Water = strange bedfellows.

V water is indeed loaded with sugars I stopped drinking that too. Propel has sucralose instead and is low calorie

That’s ok, I really like it ; ), XXX and Power-C are my favorite. We all have our weaknesses. I like sugar ; ) I guess it could be far worse.

Outside of my morning coffee ...it used to be all I drank ... but when I finally read the label, I stopped buying it.
.99/bottle is pretty expensive.

Really, they list their ingredients accurately, there is nothing to sue about.

So, you enjoyed it too. It’s expensive that true. When it’s on sale, I have one at work in the middle of my workday, addition to water. I don’t drink sodas (normally), so I guess in moderation, it’s not too bad. It’s a shame that the good tasting stuff has to be bad for us. Normally, I find alot of this kind of stuff a big scam, and this probably is as well - but, I pretty much buy it because it tastes good.

Yes he does. He even mocked Coke for the deal, saying how he bottled water for cents and sold it for 300m bucks!
