I remember back when this stuff first came out. It was awesome, but then people got on the "sugar is bad for you" craze and 'fixed' it by putting fake sugar in all of the flavored water. Well now every flavored water drink I've had, has a nasty as hell aftertaste to the point I simply will not drink it.

I've noticed that I'm a fan of carbonation. Caffiene isn't my deal, its the carbonation. I crave soda just for the carbonation (and the taste mind you). Pile this on the fact that I simply cannot stand drinking water... it just doesn't taste right. I have a Brita but even then I have to be thirsty to just drink a glass of it. So I like to drink something with a good taste, but I'd like to stay away from caffiene. The perfect alternative is Flavored Water!... except that everything I've had as of late uses fake sugar... which gives that nasty diet aftertaste. I recently had BAWLS.. It tasted like black cherry flavored water. It used REAL sugar and thus tasted simply wonderful. The problem is that its an energy drink and thus HIGH on caffiene.. I'm trying to stay away from caffiene as I want strong, healthy bones.

My question to you is this: Is there any flavored water that you know of that uses REAL sugar?

Thank You for any help that you may provide.
