    Vitaminwater in Canada is sugar-free so I’m surprised to learn it’s full sugar in the states. I definitely grab them here and there when I’m at the hospital for an appointment or looking for something that won’t fuck with the ol’ diabetes in the store.

        I have never seen the sugared version in western Canada, only the zero calorie ones.

      It’s not as much as soda and there is a “zero sugar” variant, but yeah the regular kind does have sugar in the US

      In my teens, we were given vitamin water after sports games thanks to corporate donations. Most HS players lived off that.

      Yay for-profit schools on poor urban neighborhoods.

      We have both sugar free and full sugar. I want to say the sugar free is more popular but I don’t pay that much attention.
