Actually kiwi with a splash of strawberry is a VERY tasty flavour in the popular H2G0 flavoured water drinks we have in Australia!

It is a food additive that causes hyperactivity, but is also thought to cause mental disorders and paranoia.

Oh dear... is that like red food colouring? I doubt that this drink contains it however: it is quite clear, and is for the most part water, with a bit of flavouring. Kind of like all those natural spring water drinks with 'a twist of lemon'... only all fancy schmancy! :D

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, and a disgusting tasting and overused one at that, most diet pops are sweetened with it, along with most gummy candies and sugar-free gums.

P.S. As a rule of thumb, if it's sugar-free or low calorie and still sweet, it's probably aspartame.

I hate anything with artificial sweetener in it, especially aspartame and sorbitol. It tastes too foul.

Another rule of thumb: if it's sugar-free, it's full of fat. If it's fat-free, it's full of sugar. If it's neither, it is water. Or possibly toothpaste. Or sometimes watered down toothpaste.

System of a Down made a song about Aspartame called Sugar, in which they mentioned that people who consumed great amounts of the stuff became paranoid and homicidal.
