Even with its ridiculously high price, I kinda wanna try it. Pulled up the product locator and found that it's being sold at a Sprouts nearby, may have to pick some up on the way home tomorrow. :lol

 

[Phu]

The first two ingredients on that are water and sugar. Then it has other juices added in addition to the watermelon juice.

As someone who loves watermelon, that Tropicana stuff is nasty. Like bad candy.

 

[Novocaine]

Wait.

There are people that don't like watermelon?

What the fuck is going on?


Also just blend your own watermelon.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

KO if you ever get a chance to try it please film your reaction, your huge grin would be priceless. Watermelon is some life-affirming shit.

Man, now I really want to try it. Maybe I'll check the grocery store tomorrow.

 

[everyday math]

Watermelon is the best food of all time, so I wanted to try watermelon water, but this stuff is so goddamn expensive. Ordering directly from the company, a 12-pack of 12 oz. bottles is $44.99.

Has anyone tried this stuff? Is it worth getting once, or should I just throw some watermelon in a blender the next time they're in season?

Watermelon juice will go well with your $30 meal

BLEND?? But that'll KILL the minerals!! You savage.

I mean... it's pretty easy to get a watermelon that is lacking in flavor. I like watermelon just fine but I'd say like half the time I have one it's not sweet enough and just tastes kinda.. watered down. I can totally understand why someone could try a middle of the road watermelon and walk away less than impressed.

I'm not a huge fan of watermelon. It's basically your standard melon except it has all those seeds. I don't like seeds in my watery things.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

My brother bought a bottle from Costco and dropped it off like a month ago, I drank it and it was good, but not at the exorbitant price that theyre asking for it. Knowing how much it costs, reassures to me that my brother is indeed a fool.

lol

If your watermelon is lacking in flavor, you have a bad watermelon. It's either out of season or imported or something, and those are avoidable.

I can understand seeing how common it is to get a watermelon lacking in flavour. At which point you're basically eating water with seeds.

Yes, I'm aware. I'm not a watermelon expert though so idk what to look for. My point is it's not like every watermelon is OH SO DELICIOUS to the point that it's unfathomable as to why someone might not enjoy them so much.

 

[Harpuia]

Out of pure convenience, yeah this will get you by if you crave some watermelon water/juice.

It doesn't beat the real thing though. It also has that "cold-pressed" flavor that a lot of those cold-pressed drinks seem to have.

"Our aim is to offer water made by trees"

Trees do not make water. It is literally the opposite. Trees convert water and CO2 into O2 and tree. It's called photosynthesis. It's like... their whole thing.

lol.

WTRMLN WTR uses organic lemon, but non-organic watermelons. Why? Watermelons are part of the “Clean 15”, the group of 15 fruits and vegetables that have such a durable, thick outer skin that they bare little to no traces of pesticides and are considered safe to consume in non-organic form. In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, organic certification for watermelon is “unnecessary.”

Because EWG is such a non-biased resource. Give me a break.

I'm a sucker for alternative beverages, particularly of the light and refreshing variety; so I've tried this. Unfortunately, it actually tastes a little too much like rind, and doesn't hit the right sweet vs. refreshing middle ground for me. The price is also EXTRA egregious, even in this age of designer pricet non-alcoholic cooler-aisle beverages.

This nails it. I once had some really solid bottled watermelon juice at Trader Joe's -- I haven't seen it since, and continue to look for a similar product. WTRMLN WTR is incredibly overpriced & tastes like unripe watermelon & rind. I sometimes see it around here for as "low" as $1 per 12oz bottle. Still pass on it at that price. Not as great as it sounds.

The site says this is sap.
Not water.

Who the fuck drinks tree sap?
It's drinkable?

Has to be watered down right? The irony.

 

[Monocle]

That is far too expensive. Also, watermelon is awful.

We don't take kindly to your kind 'round here.

 

[Fat4all]

it's expensive as all hell

 

[pswii60]

Is this the new coconut water? What will be the latest superdrink fad next year?

lol he learnt wisely from his business mentor....Dame Dash.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Just throw some watermelon in a blender, dude. Way cheaper, and I can guarantee it'll taste way better.

 

[TheRealTalker]

I know it actually isn't pure watermelon juice but this right here

I wonder why it took so long

at least in Canada

 

[mrkgoo]

Does that mean that tap water is 99% watermelon?

Ok I laughed at this.

god damn didn't even know this existed. adding to my grocery list.

 

[Apt101]

Just make your own m8

Spoiler

and then mix it with a good vodka.

One part watermelon water, one part white rum, a little lime, soar off to Heaven.

 

[kIdMuScLe]

I've never eaten a good-tasting watermelon later than September.

If they're not in season right now then what makes you think is gonna be good right now? These things are blended with sugar powder flavor and watermelon.

 

[RageWaffles]

I've tried this. Tasted like the pale part right before the rind—not too sweet, slightly bitter. I really enjoyed it.

 

[Stasis]

I'll admit, this is the kind of thing I'd buy one of if grocery shopping while thirsty/hungry.

I buy one of fucking everything during those moments, though.

Edit: just noticed the pic of Tropicana water melon with French writing on it. Woo! Gonna try that shit. (I'm in Quebec)

Russians are crazy about birch sap.

I've seen it sold in shops carrying Russian foods. Either in the standard 1-l carton, or in large 5-l glass jars.

 

[Clydefrog]

There are going to be RPGs where avocado-tier items are uniques/legendaries. Watermelons will be rare.

 

[iPaul93]

Who the hell pays $44 for watermelon water?

 

[ForsakenLotus]

Buy the Minute Maid Watermelon juice or suck on Watermelon Jolly Ranchers.

 

[Bamboo]

Y'all need to watch The Wayward Cloud. It's about a water shortage and water gets more expensive than watermelons. Oh and it's about sex.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Another scam drink. Love these fads.

People that shop at Whole Foods and buy overpriced "organic" foods.
