    They really do bug me, totally agree... This is not only annoying but also dangerous. This is how eating disorders happen.

    If people weren't so gullible and believed that these totally bogus products could work and continue to buy them then they would quit making them. Of course it's a much deeper societal issue with media being thin obsessed . . .but I strongly believe passing along the message that health and fitness matters not the size or ur pants starts in the smallest places and Fit you pass along a wonderful message everyday to your faithful readers (and I'm sure the constant flux of new readers)everyday! Just keep doing what you doing by sending a good message of healthy lifestyle and fitness!!

    What? You mean there's no miracle water that will make me skinny?

    I really think it should be illegal to make claims like that. Oh, and why are people believing them to begin with?

    Wouldn't at least most people know that it won't make them "skinny" including people who drink it? I don't really have an opinion. I haven't even noticed this product in the store. Either that or I just wasn't paying attention. I know that eating right and exercise will work a lot better than depending on this stuff.

    Why does Nicollette Sheridan always look like she's making "sexy pouty face"? It's weird.

    These claims are so stupid. I mean, honestly, if you believe that just drinking sweetened water is going to make you lose weight without doing anything else, you kinda deserve to waste your money.

    The people that put these products out are just amazing.

    Skinny water? Please.

    If you want to be skinny, save yourself the $2 that
    the skinny water costs and turn on the tap.

    Tap water is just as skinny and doesn't taste of sucralose.

    I'd be willing to bet that the same people that have bought into this product's claim also are fans of Smart Water. Eye-wink

    I never really thought about that, but I agree that this isn't a responsible message. But I do like the Skinny Cow line of treats, because at least the spokesmodel is a kitschy cartoon cow.

    Yes Fit! Thanks for bringing this up, I saw it on People's website, "How these celebs get skinny," and it's just such a stupid message. Thanks, because we don't already beat ourselves up for not looking like them! And on top of it, they claim drinking this water is the secret to looking like that. Stoooopid.

    This is REALLY stupid.

    How about this, why don't people just drink REGULAR WATER. If you combine that with a healthy diet and exercise, you'll be "skinny" or at least slim, fit and healthy. And you won't be consuming any weird artificial sweeteners.

    And those thinkThin bars have like 300 calories in each one! And, they are nasty, I hate them. What really bothers me about everyone putting the emphasis on 'thin' or 'skinny' rather than healthy is that it seems to rub off onto everyone! I mean, sure, it'd be fun to look like Katie Holmes for like a day and then I'd probably kill myself, a woman cannot live on celery alone, this crazy 'thin is in' craze is disgusting.

    I agree - regular water has all the same qualities, and none of the artificial stuff.

    Ironically, I'm sipping plain water right now. My doctor refers to me as "skinny."

    Funny that. Ordinary FREE water also has 0 calories, 0 sugar and minus ten million guilt, no?

    So I can just drink that water, go out and eat a cheeseburger and fries, and I'll lose 5 pounds, right? Smiling

    Marketing people really know how to get to people. I'm sure a lot of overweight people (not all of them) are buying this up!

    It irks me too. I hate the emphasis on "eat or drink this and you will achieve the must have skinny body!" People who market that are only in it for the buck, getting dough from the gullible and the hopeful. People want to believe in these drinks and foods because they want the lose weight quick miracle.

    As for me, I decided a long time ago that I would not use artifical sweeteners like Splenda or Sweet N Low. They taste nasty, fake and I never believed they were good for you.

    If I want to color my water, have it taste like fruit and get my nurtrients then I'll take my chances on filtered tap water Koolaid and vitamins.

    Sorry for the rant ^^;

    I like how the label says:

    0 Calories
    0 Sugar
    0 Guilt.

    Plain tap water has the same thing, doesn't cost 2 dollars, and doesn't call itself "skinny water".

    This is just silly.
