The last time I checked, drinking water does not come in colors, except possibly brown in third world countries.<\/p>\n<p>But the color comes in handy, because with regular clear water, glasses can get mixed up and you might be drinking the water from someone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s glass you REALLY don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want drink from.  Cooties can be spread that way, ya know.  With the Vintage Fruit Refreshers, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have that problem.<\/p>\n<p>They also make the ideal drink to have around the house when your kids want something besides water. Well, it&#8217;s water, but&#8230; Forget it.<\/p>\n<p>You may not think it won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t taste good because it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s water, but when you actually taste it, you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised.  I let my friend taste the Peach Citrus flavor just the other day, and she&#8217;s now hooked. <\/p>\n<p>Her exact words were, &#8220;I could get down on that Peach one.&#8221;  Whatever that means.  <\/p>\n<p>The lemonade totally kicks its butt.<\/p>\n<p>As far as getting them, I usually end up shopping with my mother, just so I can get one. I haven&#8217;t actually seen which aisle they&#8217;re in; they seem to magically appear in the shopping cart.<\/p>\n<p>But once they&#8217;re in the cart, I&#8217;m glad they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re there.
