I've tried them all brother.. For what I can get in Chicago:
FriutWater
VitaICE
SarklingICE
Nice
FruitO2
RefresherICE
I liked FruitWater the best, and Refresher Ice is good too.. I do agree Fizz tastes awesome, but with all those brands, it is a very hard market to make money in.
Everyone's palate is different. I kind of like how much carbonation is in Sparkling Ice, where VitaminFizz isn't as carbonated.. There is a heavy bias here because everyone has money in the game, but in the end.. So many versions on the shelf, $1 a bottle , we don't know the margin, but there is going to have to be A LOT sold to make decent money..
Coca-Cola pulled the plug.. That says something if you're honest and realistic..
