*puts down bottle of vitamin water and gags a little*

...
*resumes drinking because its so delicious*

That's disgusting. I buy a case of Vitamin Water from Costco every two or three weeks (ok, so I buy two cases every two or three weeks), and last week I grabbed a bottle and headed out to class. In class, I pulled it out of my backpack, placed it on the table, then noticed that it was only just under the date stamp!! It was still sealed, but I figured if it tasted weird at all, I'd dump it. It did (it was really bitter), and I dumped it. I've gone through countless cases of Vitamin Water this year alone, and that one disgusting bottle was enough for me to stop buying cases and start buying bottles on sale, just so I could inspect them first.

why is it more wet in the second picture? Whats it taste like? lol

Maybe dried up vita-mix?

Oh. The. Horror. Any chance it's a sheet of slime mold? Something that may have built up in the processing equipment? Do you have a local college or university with a biologist who might be curious as well?

Invasion of the Body Snatchers...Jesus thats disgusting looking.

If i ever saw that in a product I would NEVER buy it again no matter what they said it was. I have never drank Vitamin Water because...well I'd rather just have plain water and get my Vitamins the old fashion way via Food..after seeing this I will never sample it if given the chance. Nasty!

The real question is who is dumb enough to drink water at a %1000 mark up?

Now you know where the vitamins come from... it's PEOPLE!

Yeah, ever since their "Try Sperm" commercial, I stay away from VitaminWater (not that I drank it before then).

Man, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I would find some scientist-type person to do tests on that thing and find out what the crap it is.

I can't stop scrolling up and looking at it. It's like driving by a car wreck....

It looks like some sort of flesh leaf. Like, it fell from a meat tree.

How did you not see that?

See? This is why I stick with Soylent brand nutritional flavored waters.

My guess is it's the remains of whatever medication the victim ingested right before deciding to blow their cash on the grand-daddy of marketing scams (bottled water - oh, but this has vitamins! (so does Captain Crunch)). Jeezus people, catch a clue!

Ten years ago I found chewed chewing gum in a can of cherry 7-up. That marked the end of another chapter of brand loyalty.

Ew. Just ew. No wonder VitaminWater tastes nasty.

You should contact Vitamin Water and demand that they stop putting vaginas in their beverages.

Looks like it's a mix between the corn syrup and misc. ingredients that happened to stick onto the caps.

That's the vitamin.

pickled ginger? (great, now i want to get me some yellowtail)

It looks pretty gross and I wouldn't drink it, but I would guess that it's probably some unmixed ingredients.

Also, I wouldn't really consider Vitaman Water to be bottled water. It's flavored and sweetened, so it's more like a uncarbonated soft drink.

For real, looks like Mother of Vinegar.

@martyz: can't believe it took fifteen comments to hit that one. right on.

Looks like a labia.

Looks like a piece of a latex glove (most likely a "finger" of the glove. If it sat in there for a while it could have absorbed some of the dye.

Isn't that the thing that attacked Spock in "Operation: Annihilate!"

I agree with @Fileunder, it looks like pickled ginger, and makes me hungry for sushi.

Whatever you do, if the company wants you to send it to them for "testing," don't. Have it tested by a laboratory you hire. If you send it in, don't expect to ever hear about it again.

Vitamin water is a total scam. Don't waste your money on it. You don't need to take vitamins, unless your doctor (not some witch/altie doctor) tells you to.

50 Cent owns at least part of vitamin water... maybe it's a scab from one of his bullet holes?

@martyz: Or start putting in more.

Couldn't resist.

It looks kinda like lettuce or cabbage.

Mmmmm, planaria.

That reminds of the layer of film that forms with most thick liquids (i.e. congee or clam chowder) after it rests for some time and begins to cool down.

Its quite clearly a brainslug. They seem to have targeted you for some reason. Wear a hat you trust for a few days and they should lose interest.

Good lord, it's sediment and sugar. Get over it.

I would say pickled ginger...Got any vitamin sushi?

@martyz: I was thinking the same damn thing lol but i went with the body snatchers instead. either way, nasty.

Oh gross!

I've seen stuff settle at the bottom of drinks before, but I've never seen a case where it could be removed in one piece! I wonder how old that is?

(note to self: stay away from that brand)

Is that the va-jay-jay flavor?!

Have you poked it yet?

... did it move?

I remember once during high school I found a lock of hair in my Snapple. Haven't really drank Snapple as often as I used to.

ummm... this i really weird but I have got a bottle of vitamin water that I kept just in case i died after drinking it.

It is a different brand from the label in the pic but has a similar problem.

I drank half the bottle in the car and then got disgusted with my mouth full of what felt like soggy toilet paper. I spit it all out. There was crap in the bottle. When i got back to the car after work all the crap was gone - weird. It was warm in the car tho. I kept the bottle for a week and then the crap returned and is now taking on a color suspicously close the the stuff in the picture. There is a giant clump in there now.

What is this crap? I could send a photo to the poster if you give me an email, still have the bottle.

apparently soylent green is vitamin water. Actually though I tend to agree with another poster saying it was slime. My aunt has one of those water dispensers and if she doesn't clean it out on a regular basis it gets some junk like that in the innards of the dispenser. Blechh either way though. To the slime shiyat and to vitamin water. I prefer plain tap water.

That's totally a fungal/bacterial Pellicle. Basically, your drink was contaminated/tainted with a bunch of microbes which went bananas eating the sugars in your VW, and grew like crazy on the surface of the liquid where the oxygen concentration would be greatest. Kinda like making Kombucha - Vitamin Watercha?

It's been spoiled, essentially.

I know it's not your shtick, but could we get a unicorn chaser over here anyway?

@tinyrobot: really? heh .. looks like a flatworm to me.

OH NASTY!

I'd have it tested & if it turned out to be human flesh?...... KA-CHING!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!

Soylent Green

oh for F*CKS sake. that is just nasty. will NEVER drink Vitamin Water now.
