Coca Cola’s Water Salad
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007This Japanese salad-flavored drink sounds pretty disgusting, but supposedly it tastes pretty good, “It’s like a lite fruit punch. Not even as sweet as Gatorade…”
The vitamin-enhanced drink is marketed primarily to women and is supposed to be a “meal in a can.”
From Functional Ingredients magazine:
“Water Salad” belongs to the “near water” category. It is a light reddish colour, almost transparent and contains tomato extract as both a natural vegetable colorant and as a nutrient. “Water Salad” takes advantage of the marketing value of tomato extract by claiming on the bottle label that lycopene is “reported to control active oxygen.”
