hm....I'm reading things about it being an outright scam.... Special K Protein Water Towards the end of last year - a whole line of Kellogg's "protein-enhanced" foods started appearing on shelves. The growth of the beverage industry never ceases to amaze me. Kellogg's K20 water contains just 5 grams of protein in a 16oz bottle. Along with that you get 8 grams of sugar (plus some Splenda) - all for $1.50 per drink. A BusinessWeek column called it "a case of brand extension greed" - and I think they are right. According to Promo Magazine: "The line will be positioned as nutritious "shape management" tools, targeting consumers interested in weight loss." Kellogg's have even included the drink in the "Special K Challenge" promotions - claiming that "Losing 6 pounds in 2 weeks just got easier". www.diet-blog.com/archives/2007/02/22/special_k_protein_water.phpSpecial K20 Ingredients Water, contains two percent or less of sugar, whey protein isolate, citric acid, phosphoric acid, natural flavor (contains soy), calcium lactate, calcium gluconate, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, yellow #5. Are consumers really that gullible? Anyone ever heard of milk?

never heard of it...but i'm sure it will be hitting the shelves soon...it's crazy to walk down the water isle of the kroger...sooo many to pick from, and they all claim the same thing...fitness...what ever happened to just plain water...like FIJI water...thats the best tasting water i've ever drank...no flavoring or anything...just great water....i mean i like the flavored waters too, propel water is good...but ultimately i think we're just paying for a name...just like everything else...
