KETCHUM, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2003--Aqua Vie Beverage
Corporation (OTCBB:AQVB) announced today the development of a line of
all-natural, low calorie spring water beverages, formulated and
packaged specifically for children, called PurePlay(TM).
The PurePlay(TM) line of noncarbonated spring water beverages
represents a true breakthrough in water beverages. All-natural,
lightly flavored and sweetened, PurePlay(TM) makes water taste good
enough to drink all day. With a mere 15 calories per 8-oz. serving,
that's easy enough to swallow even for those on a diet.
Recommended daily intakes vary, but it's clear that most people
don't drink enough water. Plain ordinary water is boring and difficult
to drink. "In developing the new PurePlay(TM) line for children, we
wanted to put an end to 'boring.' We've done that," said Thomas
Gillespie, Aqua Vie's president and chief executive officer. PurePlay
is the second "first" for the company, which was the first to develop
and market an all-natural, flavored spring water beverage.
PurePlay(TM) will be available in five distinctive flavors this
spring.
Aqua Vie Beverage Corporation's preservative-free flavored spring
waters encourage personal water consumption, not just for its
recognized weight management benefits but for lifelong health.
PurePlay(TM) children's water beverages are designed to appeal to
younger tastes. With the weight gain among America's youth making
daily headlines, PurePlay(TM) may be "just what the doctor ordered" to
aid in weight control. "We anticipate excellent market response among
youth and parents who seek healthier lifestyles for growing children,"
said Gillespie.

Aqua Vie Beverage Corp. develops and markets Hydrators(TM),
all-natural, lightly flavored, still (noncarbonated) bottled spring
water. The company's low-calorie, flavored fitness waters are
bacteria-free and contain no preservatives. Aqua Vie produces and
markets the Hydrator(TM) line of flavored spring water throughout the
Unites States. The company's Hydrator(TM) line, comprised of seven
low-calorie, all-natural beverages are lightly flavored, packaged in
half-liter bottles, and designed to increase adults' and children's
consumption of water, naturally. The underlying technology also serves
as the delivery system for Aqua Vie's new line of children's flavored
spring waters called PurePlay(TM). Other Aqua Vie trademarks include
Eau Vin(TM) (nonalcoholic wine and champagnes made from spring water).
