RATING: 7.9 OUT OF 10.
A huge amount of people have heard of Vitamin Water and currently has over 1.3 million fans on Facebook. Why am I telling you this? It just so happens that the newest flavor of Vitamin Water is made by fans, for fans on Facebook. The name of the new drink is called Connect and the flavor is Black Cherry Lime. The color inside is a vibrant red similar to the XXX flavor. I cracked open the 20 ounce bottle and took a sip. It tasted just like any other Vitamin Water except there was one small difference. There was a slight bitter taste. Were would that come from you may ask? It comes from the 100 milligrams of caffeine they put in this drink. The flavor itself actually sort of wakes you up because it is very refreshing. It is also not very watered down and it is definitely sweet. It is extremely similar to other sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade. So, what does this bottle have in it that makes it energizing? Well, per 20 ounce bottle it has 100 percent daily value of vitamin b3, 100 percent daily value of vitamin b5, 100 percent daily value of vitamin b6, 100 percent daily value of vitamin b12, and 100 milligrams of caffeine. You get all this with 250 percent daily value of vitamin c and 32.5 grams of sugar. 100 milligrams of caffeine may sound like a good amount, but they concentration is about the same as a Sun Drop. So, did this new flavor of Vitamin Water give me any extra energy? Well, it certainly was there and it was a nice moderate boost. It was exactly what I would expect from a 20 ounce drink with 100 milligrams of caffeine. It was good and lasted about 4 hours. Ok, time to give this drink a rating. 7.9 out of 10.
