Clearly Canadian - Global Water
Yesterday, I was complaining to Jasmine about how so many of the current drinking water sold today are laced with that disgusting artificial wanna-be fake sugar. Anything with splenda, sucralose, whatever I simply will not consume. I felt duped recently, because I had bought a refreshing light apple juice cocktail, and when I came home to enjoy it, I spat it out. I realized I missed the microscopic print on the label, "with sucralose". Ugh, such a disappointment.
Jasmine poked at her own thoughts, and asked me if I ever drank this refreshing sparkling water back in the day that had a hint of fruit. A hint of fruit? And then it hit me, like when you try and solve a math problem for hours and the numbers start making sense out of the blue. Yes, Clearly Canadian! There was a period in the 90's when Clearly Canadian was like the best drink ever. My family doesn't preach soda around the house, simply because my dad's one of those health-conscious people who shuns extra unwanted calories. But the two exceptions he allowed while I was growing up, was Perrier and Clearly Canadian. I could reason with him that they are sparkling water which clearly does not qualify as a soda. I remember that crisp cool refreshing bite after your first sip - the oh-so-fruity goodness (without that artificial nasty aftertaste a lot of the current fancy fruity waters leave behind on your palate). But for whatever reason, maybe they stopped selling it locally, I have not enjoyed a Clearly Canadian in 10 years. So after doing a little research today, I discovered it still exists! Hooray! And they also give back! For every Clearly Canadian beverage sold, a percentage of their funds are donated to help communities who need safe water supplies through projects to create needed wells and water sources. http://www.clearly.ca/files/global-water.php My quest to find a bottle nearby begins.
