our boring history: south africa
it all started in 1996. you remember 1996, right? eish man, who doesn't. that was the year penny heyns brought back two glinting gold olympic medals; the year archbishop tutu sat down to chair the truth and reconciliation commission; and also the year south africans danced like crazy when our team held up the victory trophy at the african cup of nations.
it was also during this time, in new york city, that an adventurer, gadabout, and humble genius named j. darius bikoff was feeling the double blow of raging thirst and low energy. en route to a yoga class, bikoff gobbled a vitamin c wafer and chased it with a swig of water. the electric combination of flavour and nourishment inspired bikoff to develop glacéau vitaminwater, a great tasting active lifestyle beverage that's packed with nutrients, and has no artificial flavours or colours.
glacéau vitaminwater was launched in 2000, changing the beverage industry forever as the first ever in the enhanced water category. bikoff's unique vision built glacéau into the leader of the active lifestyle category in the u.s.
the brand is already iconic in the u.s.a, canada, australia, great britain, new zealand and mexico amongst tastemakers, trendsetters, makers and shakers, and people like you and me with a thirst for their own well being. open up a glossy international lifestyle mag' and you'll see all the beautiful people air-kissing one another at shnazy events, glacéau vitaminwater in hand.
to cut to the chase(too late for that?): glacéau vitaminwater, the original from n.y, is a great tasting, nutrient enhanced beverage which provides drinkers with a convenient and flexible way to hydrate, as well as stock up on the nutrients we all need to make it through our day. glacéau vitaminwater has no artificial colours or flavours, and it has been scientifically designed to complement our often less-than-perfect diets, and to give us an oomph during those energy-zapping, why-has-god-forsaken-me moments (typically spent on a mind-numbing conference call or during the last fifteen minutes of a gut-busting spinning class. you get the picture.)
glaceau vitaminwater will be hitting south african shores in march 2009. the 500ml pet bottle is available in 6 great tasting varieties: glacéau vitaminwater power-c (dragonfruit), glacéau vitaminwater essential (orange-orange), glacéau vitaminwater xxx (acai-blueberry-pomegranate), glacéau vitaminwater super-v (lemon), glacéau vitaminwater energy (tropical), glacéau vitaminwater revive (fruit punch), at select retail stores in jo'burg, cape town and durban.
hydrate responsibly, people!
