iXtreme Hydrator - 2 Reviews

If someone hands you a berry flavored drink 9.5 times out of 10, you know exactly what you're in for: an amalgamation of mainly strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. If you're lucky there will be some blackberries in the mix as well. Who doesn't love it when that happens? The other .5 of the time you get drinks like this. I don't know what berry they use in these drinks, but it has a vague hint of fennel to it. It's not much, it took me a long time to place the taste, but there is just something extra to the flavor that doesn't normally occur in berry drinks. Depending on the beverage it can possibly ruin the whole thing. In this, I kind of like it. It's strange and unexpected.

An sentence overview of this drink would read thusly: “A sweetened berry flavored sparkling water with the faintest hint of the little candies you eat after an Indian buffet.” I should know, that's exactly what my dinner was last night. Unlike my saag and chana masala, this is also brimming with electrolytes. I swear they are in everything nowadays.

I understand sweating. I know how it works and why it does what it does. It's pretty cool. Here's what I want, though. I would like to over-hydrate myself to the point where my entire body and all it's pores just leak liquid. Sure, I would probably be dead if this were to happen but I want to be like Spongebob Squarepants and just leak like a sieve. I would either be outside in swim trunks or inside a bathtub in whatever I want. I wouldn't do it in your living room or at a fancy dining establishment. I understand that it would be for a limited time but I would like a solid ten seconds of every pore crying like a girl watching the movie "The Notebook" for the first time.

This drink, although quenching, did not turn me into a human colander but it was good. When you call something "citrus" flavored, it's kind of strange. It's like a purposely nondescript flavor. Oh, it's citric, but it's not quite lemon, orange, pineapple but it's a mix of everything citric. It's a good flavor but that's my gripe. It's nice that it's sparkling because it's light enough that it tastes more like a carbonated juice rather than a citrus pop. It is very good. Calorie count is responsible at eighty and you know what? It is a very good drink that I would drink again if I didn't have an increasingly growing cache of drinks.
