I agree the cost is definitely there with all these vitamin waters. The colors are not always consistent and the taste can even vary. I do admit that I drink these vitamin waters from time to time. I have discovered in my own case, by doing this it helps me get in my total daily water allowance. Whenever I do decide to drink any of these flavored waters, I find myself drinking more water and less soft drinks. Therefore, I am getting in less sugar and less calories. (By the way these vitamin waters contain only a very small amount of vitamins.) I firmly recommend drinking "pure clean water" as much as possible! If it happens to help any of us to drink an occasional vitamin water beverage in order to get in that daily water allowance as needed, then do so. But always go for the bands that have less sugar and less calories. Just as you mentioned in your honest review...we all must remember to shop for the better price too, since these vitamin waters can really vary in their cost. I liked your review and your honesty is truly appreciated.
