Question:
Has anyone tried Fruit2-O water? How'd you like it?

I am thinking of buying some, but it comes in bulk at Sam's Club. I would hate to buy the whole case and discover I hate it! LOL Please give me your opinion on how this tastes and what it is exactly. I am having the hardest time drinking my water everyday. What is your favorite flavor? Is it sweetened artificially? Tell me more!    — Karen B. (posted on January 29, 2002)

When I was fresh out of the hospital, I bought a bunch of this. I have been trying to drink it, but to me it has "the" aftertaste. It is has good flavor and is sweetened with Splenda. My advice would be to go to a CVS Pharmacy and buy a bottle of it and try it. I like the orange best, but my DH favors strawberry. I do know that CVS sells it out of the refrigerator case. Good luck!

I've been drinking Fruit2-0 and like it pretty well, except for the orange which tastes like St. Joseph's baby aspirin. It's sweetened with Splenda, so there's no bitter aftertaste. I too bought it at Sam's Club, and last night instead of the Fruit 2-0 bought Diet Botanicals, which I think has more flavor. It's also sweetened with Splenda and comes with a pop-up drink top.

I love Fruit 2-0 when I can find it. If you call veryfine and talk to them they will send you coupons in the mail. They sent me about 40 of them (I took them to my support group meeting). The coupons I got were for a free bottle of Fruit 2-0. If you do not have a CVS, Walgreens also carries it.

I got a membership at Sams Club just to buy the Fruit H2O and Ice Botanicals by the case! They are both great, and even my 10 year old son loves them and will drink them anytime!

I too wanted to try Fruit 2 O without having to buy a whole case of it. I found a 4-pack at Target and single ones at the local convenience store. I like the raspberry though I can taste a little bit of an aftertaste. Not bad at all though. Hope this helps. Take care and God bless.

I like it OK, but find it both too sweet and too expensive. So, I dilute it 50-50 with filtered water and then I enjoy it. Nothing will touch the Strawberry Tangerine Crystal Light for me though in terms of liking the taste. :-)

I didn't really like Fruit 2 O pre op, but I like it now. Before surgery I thought it had a very light fruit taste, now it's soooo sweet that I also mix it 50 50 with water. If you don't want to buy a whole case, try some flavors out at a convenience store first, most of them sell single bottles, and supermarkets sell 6 packs (at least some do.) My favorite flavor is the orange, strawberry is pretty good too, actually lime and lemon are not bad either, so I guess I kinda like most of the flavors (not raspberry though) Good Luck!!!

Just incase anyone is interested, I just bought a case of the Diet Ice Botanicals and the taste pretty good. I am really picky about "the" aftertaste and it has the bare minimum of one. Sweetened w/ Splenda. The have herbal extracts in them like Ginseng and Echinacea and extra Vitamin C. I can't taste the herbs though. Case of 24 for $12.00. Not as cheap as Crystal Light, but they come in sport bottles and can be carried out of the house in a hurry! I will try Fruit2-O next.

I really loved Fruit 20 post-op and went through a few cases. They really helped me to get my water in. I find that I'm tired of them now, though. However, recently I discovered Lime Fruit 20. These are sooo good and remind me of a Sonic Limeade. Unfortunately, they do not come in the mega pack at Sam's Club. Bummer. I have only been able to find them at Walgreens and occasionally at a gas station. You can order them and other veryfine products via their website at www.veryfine.com

I LOVED the Fruit-2-0! I bought the case at Sam's and found that I liked the citrus flavors better (lemon doesn't come in the case at Sam's though). Now I have found a 12-pack of simply the lemon at Target and stock up on it whenever they have it handy. Its a nice alternative to the "plain" water and my daughter loves it as well.

I love Fruit 2o, love the rasberry and lemon. I am very much the water drinker, but this is a nice change, when water just doesnt do it

I was okay, guess it must take a while to build a taste.

I can't find it in bulk, only by the onesies here at Walgreens. It's much less "pushy" than the Diet Ice. I consider it lightely sweeetened and find that my bottle seems to vanish very quickly.

I have been buying the "Fruit 2 O Plus" at Sams Club. It has vitamins in it and is sweetened with Splenda. I love it!

I love fruit 2o. I drink at least 2 a day. The only flavor I don't like is the lime. I get it by the case at BJ's, or by the 6 pack at Waldbaum's & King Kullen. :-p

I love fruit2). My favorites are cherry, grape, strawbery and Rasberry. I'm pre op for the surgery and preparing for lots and lots of water. Try it, I'm sure you will like it.

I find Fruit2o to be delicious. I put mine in the freezer and let it get slushy....very yummy! I like the strawberry and lemon flavors the best. It also mixes really well with the nectar protein flavors like strawberry kiwi or fuzzy navel. Give it a try and you will probably like fruit2o. More folks do well with splenda rather than aspartame as a sweetener. Good luck to you.
