Mela Watermelon Water - Watermelon Juice, 100 Percent Natural Fruit Juice with Vitamin C, Electrolytes, Antioxidants - Coconut Water Alternative, Gluten-Free (Original, 11.15 fl oz, 12-pack)

Love this! Just expensive so don’t get it all the time!

Insanely refreshing. If only I could find it at the grocery store!

Super watermelon flavor. Mix well with vodka or just drink straight up for a refreshing thirst quencher. Great for hydration.

Mela Watermelon Water tastes good. It is refreshing. My family likes the taste.

Tastes great!

This is not bad tasting. However, it is not good tasting either. I will not be buying this product again.

Standing in the drink aisle of a Mom's grocery store, a woman next to me told me how much she loves this drink. I bought one can to try (the original). It was the 16.9 oz. can that cost around $3.25. It said it had 25 grams of sugar in it, but I didn't think about the 2 servings of it which = 50 grams of sugar. I drink unsweet tea or Iced Steaz tea cans which have 15 grams of sugar or less. If you are like me and order unsweet tea but get sweet tea instead, that first sip is a shock to your system. The same thing here. It's super sweet. If you don't usually drink/like sweet drinks. I added it to a half bottle of water, so it was half and half. That was more manageable for me. I thought it was just ok and that it would be a one and done type deal. But then the next day I wanted more. I don't like water, and I don't drink enough of it. I don't really ever feel thirsty, but my throat gets dry reminding me to drink fluids. This drink is refreshing (has to be cold), and it seems hydrating as my throat doesn't feel dry while/after I drink it. (Yes, my throat feels dry WHILE drinking other drinks.) I missed the taste too. I bought the case on here thinking it was a great deal, not realizing it was the smaller cans. Which is fine because it's more manageable sugar wise for me. One problem solved. However, I noticed once I start drinking this and thereafter, I pee about 30 times that day and night. I realize it's hydrating and my body is trying to expel an overabundance of sugar, but it's more than that. It's irritating to my bladder, and I feel like I have a UTI when I drink this product. When I stop drinking it, everything goes back to normal. Whenever I drink anything with like fake sugar, or something my body doesn't like, I do pee more but not to this degree. This has ascorbic acid (Vit C) in it which I read can irritate your bladder if you are sensitive which I am (IC). I like this product, but my body doesn't. Also, this is a U.S. company, but this is a product of Vietnam (it says so on can). I went to the Mela website to learn more about "responsible farming" and why it comes from overseas but no such luck. I'd like to know more. Shippingwise, Amazon sent this to me in a box with another item which is odd. If the cans were damaged and leaked like shipments of the other drinks I used to buy off of Amazon, then the other item would have been ruined. It was not a food related item, and it gave the tea more room to be tossed around. Anyway, I think this is a good once in a while treat. I will definitely purchase some for hot road trips when I definitely need a little - or a lot - of sugar, and to help me feel replenished (but I guess I'll be making a lot of pit stops). I also would buy some to make mixed drinks. Another reviewer posted a pic of it with jalapeno and basil which looks delicious. And there is a chili mango version I cannot even try lest I get carried away. It might also be good to flavor your everyday water, but you could also just use watermelon itself which I'm going to try to see if it irritates me as much. It's worth a try but if you can, just buy one at first to try out. Update: I'm kind of addicted. I'll order a case and finish the case within 10 days. I drink them straight. I try to only order once a month.

Very good
