Need to boost your immune system?  Drink a Defense Vitamin Water.  Want something to help with your concentration?  Consume Focus Vitamin Water.  Need a jolt of energy?  Tank an Energy Vitamin Water.  Want to bring back someone from the dead so that you can play Resident Evil in real life?  Pour a Revive Vitamin Water down their throat. <\/p>\n<p>Tranquilo Vitamin Water helps you to relax and forget your troubles for a little while, like spending a weekend on the beach.  But isn&#8217;t there another liquid that helps you temporarily forget your troubles much easier?  <\/p>\n<p>Alcohol?  It somewhat does that, but not fast enough.  <\/p>\n<p>Homemade moonshine made with things found in a garage?  Yes, it does have that ability, but it also has the power to &#8220;permanently make you forget your troubles,&#8221; cause you to become blind or make you imagine you&#8217;re talking to the 29th President of the United States Warren G. Harding about what&#8217;s on his iPod and being surprised that &#8220;Regulate&#8221; by Warren G is not on it.<\/p>\n<p>What liquid am I thinking of?  <\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, that&#8217;s right!  Chloroform.<\/p>\n<p>Tranquilo Vitamin Water looks like the water in a public toilet that hasn&#8217;t been flushed for days and it is flavored with tamarind and pineapple, although the ingredients list doesn&#8217;t directly mention them, but it does include the vague &#8220;natural flavor.&#8221;  It&#8217;s also a decent source of vitamins, like A, C and E, but so is a serving of Cocoa Puffs, so that&#8217;s not really saying much.  <\/p>\n<p>The pineapple seems to dominate the scent and taste of the beverage, although to be honest, I have no idea what tamarind is and the first time I ever heard of it was when I picked up this bottle, so it might be the tamarind dominating the beverage.  At first, I didn&#8217;t enjoy its flavor, which reminds me of a watered down Pina Colada Slurpee, but after drinking more of it, I began to like it.  While it&#8217;s not my favorite Vitamin Water flavor (which is XXX Vitamin Water), it&#8217;s definitely in my top ten, which actually isn&#8217;t so impressive since there are only 13 Vitamin Water flavors.<\/p>\n<p>So does Tranquilo Vitamin Water help me to relax and temporarily forget my troubles?<\/p>\n<p>No, it doesn&#8217;t, because I&#8217;m getting totally worked up about the name Tranquilo.  What kind of frickin&#8217; name is that?  Who just slaps an O at the end of something and makes a name from it?  That&#8217;s just plain lazy.<\/p>\n<p>Bah!  Where&#8217;s my chloroform?  I want to temporarily forget about that name.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 8 ounces &#8211; 50 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 milligrams of sodium, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 13 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, 10% vitamin A, 40% vitamin C, 10% vitamin E, 10% vitamin B3, 10% vitamin B6, 10% vitamin B12 and 10% vitamin B5.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Glaceau Tranquilo Vitamin Water<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $2.39<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  20 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Whole Foods<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Tastes decent after I got used to it.
