Glaceau Vitamin Water Shortage??

Posted by Keith G.




I am using the Dojo as a platform to test something and see if we can get a response from Glaceau Executives and to just rant. First off I want to say I thoroughly enjoy Vitamin Water Energy Flavor. I sometimes drink 2-3 a day....and I know Capt. Tucci is on board with me on this.

However, I have found that more often than not the gas station, grocery store, or Drug store I am shopping is simply out of this flavor in both the small and large version. It is not abnormal for me to visit 2-3 different locations in search of this flavor and they are all out. Has anyone else experienced this with any other soft drink they like to purchase? I can completely understand one place being out....but an entire area?????

Is this flavor really that popular that big company like Coca-Cola simply can't keep it in stock???? Or is the area sales reps in my town just not doing their job?

I have a task for Dojo members. Please take note the next time you visit your favorite gas stations, grocery store, and/or Drug store. Please check the Glaceau Vitamin water section and see if they have the Yellow Energy flavor in stock. I need to know if it is just me and the planet is playing a big joke on me or if there is a nationwide crisis on hand with a lack of Vitamin Water Energy flavor????


On another note......Can anyone please explain to me the premise behind the DirecTV commercials where the Old Man in a wheelchair and the Southern Bell next to him is talking about being a Cowboy fan but their neighbor is a Skins fan. Then, the dog goes and pees on the Skins fan rug.

Is the old man in the wheelchair her Sugar Daddy...or is that the neighbor??? If it is her Sugar Daddy....then how does the dog get into the neighbors house? But...if the old man is the Skins fan neighbor don't you think that is a little cruel to do to an old man in a wheelchair that looks like he is recovering from a stroke since he cant even talk??????? I simply don't understand the premise of the whole commercial???

That's all I got Dojo fans.......thanks for letting me rant and I look forward to the answers to your weekend assignments.

I always look due to the fact I've heard you rant about this before. I don't see that flavor either. I will check again this week and report back to you.

We are douchbags for wasting our time with this whole senario.

You have way too much free time in your hands! Keith, when you start having silly thoughts and ideas in your head, go jerk-off. That is a better use of time.

I don't drink the stuff, I'm still an old school Gatorade guy. I turned to All Sport way back because it had a slight carbonated fizz to it but then it disappeared so I went back.

I'm not a big fan of the Vitamin Water flavors. But next time I'm in a gas station and I'll check it out for you Keith.

And in that horrible Direct TV commercial, I'm 99% sure that old guy is the sugar daddy and their unseen neighbor is the Redskin fan. I don't know how the dog gets in, you just have to go with the premise.

Dinger, I love the Revive flavor. Definitely helps me get over hangovers quicker I have noticed. I wonder why sometimes the flavors have slight color changes. You can put two bottles next to each other & sometimes one is a lighter color than the next.
If I remember to check, I will.
