Vitamin Water

I recently saw a billboard advertising the arrival of VW in Buenos Aires, but I haven't actually seen any of the bottles yet.

Anyone else have any more luck?

The Farmacity on Santa Fe just off the corner of Pueyrredon sells it.

The Farmacities carry it. You do know that it's basically sugar water right ? It doesn't have any actual health benefits.

Yeah, but I enjoy the taste.

Dude, the argentinos LOVE sugar water. I can't think of a more receptive market for vitamin water.

how much is vitamin water here? in the US it was like $2.50 so it would probably be like 20 pesos here lolz

$2.50 must be if you purchase it from a premium eatery, but at the grocery store they are $1, and often on sale for 79 cents.

There is a LIGHT version which has 0 calories that I enjoy. They are actually infused with certain vitamins and minerals, and probably a step up from soft drinks.

Whatever the cost is in Argentine, I am sure like most imported things, it will be so offensively expensive that I personally would not buy it. (Similar to the Blackberry Playbooks, which are currently on sale in the States for $199 USD since they havent had the reception REM was expecting, while being marketed as a hot new thing in BA for over 2000 pesos)

I found the marketing ads ¨Agua de Nueva York¨ to be hilarious. But Argetines DO love the allure of NYC and Miami so I guess this is a good plug.
