I'm not saying people should only drink water.Yeah. And why do people eat food? An IV drip would be fine. What's with all this need for taste nowadays? Damn hipsters.

Booze. Coffee. Both great. Soda from time to time, go for it.
Those are things we all know aren't healthy in excess.
But people thinking...."hmmmmmm, I need to hydrate myself, but how I will ever stomach this vile substance known as water without some packaged flavor enhancement?" seems a little silly.
And promoting that idea to kids seems like it could be problematic.

You talking about the sugar loaded crap sold at grocery stores? Probably not the best thing to drink often.So lemonade is a bad thing?I'm not saying people should only drink water.Yeah.

What else is there to worry about? I already know what teachers make.Why are you so worried how others quench their thirst?

I'm also pretty upset that the dairy industry convinced people that water isn't good enough for cereal.What else is there to worry about? I already know what teachers make.Why are you so worried how others quench their thirst?
thats my wifes move , its not bad.
Water would absorb much faster than milk and turn it to mush pretty quickly.I'm also pretty upset that the dairy industry convinced people that water isn't good enough for cereal.What else is there to worry about?

I really don't care what others drink. It's really just the marketing of this sort of thing I find a little off-putting. Not so much the Mio, but this Aqua Ball stuff for kids.
Surely, Post or General Mills has a better varnish to put on flakes to help with that.Water would absorb much faster than milk and turn it to mush pretty quickly.I'm also pretty upset that the dairy industry convinced people that water isn't good enough for cereal.What else is there to worry about?

I thought Gatorade solved this mystery in the 90s along with Michael Jordan the greatest hydrator of our generation.
psshh, like you know-- you never have any cocoa puffs.Water would absorb much faster than milk and turn it to mush pretty quickly.I'm also pretty upset that the dairy industry convinced people that water isn't good enough for cereal.What else is there to worry about?

Mostly it's just a whole other ball of wax. But also because you can buy bottles or jugs of great tasting water, or use a filter to help some situations.
It's usually suitable for drinking, just tastes awful. Mildly chlorinated. And it's a lot easier to bring along a bottle of Mio than to bring along a 5-gallon jug of water or your own filter everywhere you go.pollardsvision said:
What makes you think it's about hydration? People don't think in those terms. People think "I'm a little thirsty, I think I'd like to enjoy a tasty beverage", not "I am slowly dehydrating and if I do not get some pure water into my body I could die". There's no confusion about how to hydrate, there is merely a desire to drink something that tastes good if it's available. Nobody is ending up in the hospital from dehydration because they couldn't figure out water.pollardsvision said:

For the Aqua Ball, "healthy hydration for kids" is pretty much their entire marketing campaign.
Well, yeah. It's just marketing. I think you're making a leap though. I'm with you that their idea is to say "hey, it's not soda or sugar filled juice" - that's the message, certainly. But the leap you're making is to say that "hey, it's not soda or sugar filled juice" is also saying "you need this because water sucks". They're not making a statement about water, they're only making a statement about their product. "Healthy Hydration for Kids". Not "The Only Healthy Hydration for Kids", you know?
You've had longhorns $hitting in the rainwater for 200 years. No wonder it tastes crappy.
