TASTE

WATA - Cran-tastic

Are you thirsty? WATA may just have come up with the best remedy after Adam's ale. The relatively new cranberry-flavoured water from the Wisynco Group is packed with all the nutrients you can get from drinking water, accented with the delightful taste of cranberry.

The thirst quencher brings new meaning to how we see water and it is made right here in Jamaica. If you are one of those persons who shy away from drinking water, this WATA twist will surely get you drinking.

Cost varies from $50 to $70, depending on retailer mark-ups.
