www.metromint.comPicked up two varieties at Whole Foods: Chocolate Mint & Orange Mint LOVE Chocolate Mint--probably just because this was the only time I was able to eat anything chocolate-like and not get sick. Orange Mint was pretty good, too. No sweeteners in any of these--just like Owater, but it's a titch bit more expensive than Owater.

And more water. Found an odd bottle of Dasani at my local grocery, so I decided "what the heck!" and flipped over the bottle to check the label. Dasani Strawberry Kiwi Essence unsweetened water. It's fabulous. www.dasani.com/#/essence |

Huh...I did not like Metromint. Tried the chocolate and lemmon. The lemmon was ok. I like flavored water to be carbonated, maybe that's why I don't like it.

More flavored water at Target. I would post a link, but apparently they don't list their generic brand foods online. They're called "Archer Farms Unsweetened Water Beverage (All Natural)" I tried Mango and Mint so far, both of which are yummy. The mango has me suspicious, but I haven't had a reaction. Today I'm trying Pomegranate Raspberry--also has me suspicious. Ingredients on Pom-Rasp are: Purified water with pomegranate, raspberry and other natural flavors. The label lists "0% Juice/0 Carb/0 Sugars" Mint for sure is safe, so feel free to check that one out at least.  Owater Strawberry has been regularly sold out at my local groceries. I'm always digging behind other flavors and scraping at the top shelf to find more. Apparently I'm not the only person obsessed with it in the area. |

Thanks for posting all of these H2o suggestions. : d
Interesting fact about mint - peppermint has a cooling effect not just on the mouth but also on the belly. One great source for this is an capsule found in the vitamin section. I was cracking up when I first read about this because I realized that I had been subconsciously self-medicating by grazing like a cow on the peppermint growing on our back porch.
I became addicted to Metromint's peppermint flavor (sarahk, you might try the plain peppermint it is a nice subtle taste and would actually be weird carbonated) and almost started ordering it by the case from the manufacturer to save some money. Then I decided to try to make my own! I just add a very small drop or two of peppermint extract from the baking aisle (the one from the vitamin aisle is gross!) to filtered water and voila! practically free flavored water. : ) Yum! Be careful of adding too much or the acohol will burn holes in your eyeballs.
