Angie- My Four Monkeys- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her kids.

The Results...

We received four bottles of WAT-AAH! along with cool stickers and tattoos that the kids loved! The drinks were a hit with Caitlyn. She is old enough to appreciate the health benefits of water. We've had discussions about this before, and after reading the labels, Caitlyn kept reminding us all to drink more WAT-AAH! She really liked the bottle design and the label design, she even refilled her bottles a few times with water and re-used them. Caitlyn thought it was really funny that the front of the label said "Drink more WA-TAAH!", but when you looked through the bottle to the backside of the label it would say something clever like "Grow STRONG-AAH!" or "Get SMART-TAAH!" 

John David appreciated the cool colors too! Overall, the kids enjoyed the new look of bottled water, especially Caitlyn. Even Daddy tried out some WAT-AAH!

Jeanette- Found Not Lost- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her girls.

The Results...

"First off, they knew what they were doing when they said these were designed for children because my girls were immediately attracted to the packaging. My girls liked how you can see another message on the back of the front label when you look at it from the back. They got a kick out of that one!!"

Nessa- Ramblings of a Texas Housewife- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her kids.

The Set Up...

When I got the 4 bottles of WAT-AAH! in the mail, my kids would not leave the package alone. They were attracted to the bold colored packaging. So I chilled the WAT-AAH! and let them choose which bottle each wanted. I was ready for the comments about no flavor, it is not sweet, add something to it.

The Results...

"It's so refreshing" and "Now that cools me off" Yeah, my kids are all into the grown up sayings.

But later I expected for them to come down from it's new to it's just water. NO! Dinner and they wanted the WAT-AAH! instead of tea we were having. And the next day the let down of "what there is no more WAT-AAH! in the fridge?" Well, I am glad to know they were happy drinking water than the sugar and preservatives in so many other kid friendly drinks!!

Kristen- Goodie Goodie Gumdrops- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her family.

The Results...

.

The first things I noticed upon opening the box were the design and logo. The bottles are sleek with clean lines, easy for a little one to hold. The bright, neon colors and "big mouth" logo are simple yet appealing. They literally scream kid-friendly. As soon as I opened one of the bottles from the box to sample, my curious son came right over to snatch it!

I took the remaining bottles of WAT-AAH! on our trip to the beach so I could try them out with my 3-year old niece and 10-year old nephew.

My niece, who loves orange juice so much that my sister-in-law has to dilute it with water, went straight for the WAT-AAH! Body, intrigued by the neon pink label. She drank the entire bottle while we were playing in the sand.

My 10-year old nephew - who plays football and drinks Gatorade almost daily - was wise enough to know it was plain water but he admitted the concept and name were pretty cool. He drank the bottle of WAT-AAH! Bones while we were out and about with nary a complaint!

Deb- Just a Mom's Take on Things...- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her girls. She was interested to see for herself which beverages my girls preferred when the choice was left completely up to them.

The Set Up...

"It didn’t take but a few seconds before they were begging and pleading to be able to drink some. And I actually said no – I wanted to wait a little bit until the novelty wore off and they could make that choice without the initial excitement playing into it.  So I stuck them in the refrigerator for a few days."

The Results...

So fast-forward a few days and after their afternoon snack, I let the girls pick what they wanted to drink. All three of them immediately chose their bottles of WAT-AAH! and eagerly started drinking!

They didn’t finish the bottles in that first sitting, which didn’t surprise me. What’s nice about the re-closable bottles is that they could then take them outside or stick them in their bike bags to take around the block to stay hydrated while riding their bikes. And, considering that a lot of the draw is the actual bottle itself, I simply have saved the bottles and re-filled them with purified water from our refrigerator as needed. Those bottles have even accompanied us to the beach – where my 6-year-old found that the empty bottles are helpful when needing a way to transport shells home!

Ana- Bonggamom Finds- Looking for ways to "wean" her kids off the sweet stuff, she decided to take The WAT-AAH! Challenge!

The Results...

"From the first moment they saw our sample WAT-AAH! bottles, the kids were fighting to drink them. With those bright colors and bold designs, the bottles are certainly eye-candy for kids! Mine thought the cartoon of the kid with his mouth open was absolutely hilarious. So it's not surprising that even though the fridge was stocked with juice and chocolate milk, they all asked for the WAT-AAH!

WAT-AAH! is a great way to get your kids drinking more water. It's healthy and refreshing..... and kids find it hard to resist that ultra-cool bottle design!"

Watch the kids' reactions HERE!

Erin- The Mom Buzz- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge her kids.

The Results...

"My sons did love the WAT-AAH!, when given that option compared to milk. I stuck a straw in it too, which made it uber-special for them. And it made me feel good that they were well hydrated this hot, hot summer. Plus, by encouraging them to drink water!

I know at Play Dates many moms bring juice boxes. So convenient - but so full of sugar. I would love to load a cooler with these instead!!

Michelle- Stuttering Shell- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her two kids.

The Setup...

We put our bottles of WAT-AAH! in the fridge & let the kids "have at it." We had juice boxes, milk, orange juice, sweet tea & WAT-AAH! stashed in the fridge and every time the kids went in the fridge they chose the WAT-AAH! over anything else!

The Results...

"At dinner, they would both exclaim they wanted WAT-AAH! and sometimes small arguments ensued because they both wanted the same bottle! Who knew that kids would actually fight over something good for them?!

I knew that the product would be a hit with my two children -- I didn't realize that it would be that big of a hit, though. They absolutely enjoyed drinking WAT-AAH!... What I do know is that I am one happy mom because time & time again my children chose water over the sugary drinks. And, even to this day {because we are out of WAT-AAH!} they are still choosing water as their preferred drink of choice!"

Stefany- TO.BE.THODE.- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her kids.

The Setup...

I had to convince the kids that the bottles that had been sitting in a truck all day was just a bit too warm to try at the moment. After what seemed like an eternity (really wasn't, but kids asking every 5 minutes if they can have some really can drag time), I opened the first bottle up and gave some to each kid.

The Results...

They all sat and drank it like it was the best thing ever. I have to say here, because it is my favorite thing right now, Johnny, my 3 year old, sounds so adorable saying WAT-AAH! It makes me want to buy more for that simple reason. But, there is so much more... When you add things that help their brains and bones, that is a winner to me! How great would it be for your kids to reach for a bottle of WAT-AAH! after school before a can of soda or a glass of sugary juice? WAT-AAH! is so appealing to kids that they will do just that!"

Karrie- Mommatudes- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her family.

The Setup....

When I got the 4 bottles of WAT-AAH! in the mail, the kiddos would not leave the package alone. They were attracted to the packaging. So I chilled the WAT-AAH! and let the kiddos choose which bottle each wanted.

The Results...

DD chose the pink one (because "Pink is for princesses." And yes, she is wearing a princess dress for the photo.) DS drank the orange bottle - 'Bones' formula. I chose the green bottle, 'Energy' formula, and Hubby drank the blue bottle - 'Brain' formula!

We all enjoyed the water - EVEN the kiddos! And because my DS associates it with 'kid' packaging, he is requesting it for his school lunches. EVEN BETTER! No sugary drinks!!!! And honestly, as a mom and former clinician, I am whole-heartedly behind their campaign, Stop Sugar! There's no time like the present to get kids involved in a healthy lifestyle and to help them do their best in school!"

Crystal-Simply Being Mommy- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her kids. "If your children are anything like mine, they will take soda, a juice box or milk over water anyday! I thought that it was worth a shot!"

The Results...

"My oldest son Rylan who is 3 was the first one to the refrigerator.  As soon as he saw the WAT-AAH! bottles he was very curious and asked what it was.  I told him it was WAT-AAH! and he immediately (much to my surprise) asked if he could have one.  I let him pick which one he wanted and being all boy, he chose the blue which was WAT-AAH! Brain.

After Rylan tried it and kept drinking it, I thought I’d give it a shot to see what it tasted like. I figured it had to have some kind of flavoring or something because normally he won’t drink just water. I was very surprised to find out that in fact it did taste just like water.

The children have been requesting WAT-AAH! over their normal juice boxes. They were outside playing hard the other day and both of them each had their own bottle of WAT-AAH! 

I’d say The WAT-AAH! Challenge was a success!  I am happy to see my children requesting something that is very good for them!"

Elizabeth- A Nut in a Nutshell- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her kids, knowing the importance of keeping them hydrated. "Kids are especially active now that school is starting, and they need to stay hydrated to focus on schoolwork, and to participate in sports and other after school activities."

The Setup...

"I put four bottles of WAT-AAH! in the fridge along with the milk, orange juice, lemonade and pop."

The Results...

"I saw my son head to the fridge, he said, "What the heck?", grabbed a bottle of WAT-AAH! and took off. He drank three of them that same day, which prompted me to run for the last one so I could try it myself!

If you're having trouble getting your kids to drink water and want to make sure they stay hydrated... I don't think they could really resist this. WAT-AAH! takes the boring out of water. I'll bet your kids will think so too!!"

Challenger #100, Louisiana

Nicole- Bless Their Hearts Mom- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge to the water park to try out with her kids.

The Setup...

"We froze our bottles overnight so they would stay nice and cool during the day out. When you have a very active 2 year old and a 78% humidity day, water and electrolytes just seem to go together.

As you can see, we had no problems getting her to drink the water- she LOVED it!"

The Results... 

"She obviously could tell it helped her as every time she's start to get overheated, she'd come sit down on our blanket and chug some of the WAT-AAH!

My daughter had fun handing out the WAT-AAH! fake tattoos and decals to some of the kids at the park- the kids liked the cool decal, and their parents were interested in hearing about water that is GOOD for your kids!"

Challenger #99, South Dakota

Tammy- Three Different Directions- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her kids.

The Results...

She LOVED the bottles and the message on them. She chose the "Energy" and "Brains" to try (which she drank just before her biology test lol!)

When I tasted WAT-AAH! for the first time, in comparison with the filtered water we have from our fridge dispenser, I thought it tasted a lot better.

So while my kid is saying "Oooooh these bottles are so cool! I love reading what they say on them"; I'm saying "WAT-AAH! is ultra pure water containing the right amount of essential ingredients such as magnesium, electrolytes and oxygen to help maintain children's health."

Deborah-BabasFarmLife- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her family. 

The Results... 

My family and I got a chance to try out the WAT-AAH! beverages for ourselves and really liked them! The kids thought the bottles looked so cool that they wanted to try them right away! 

Grandson Zach tried the Body WAT-AAH! because playing football his body needs to keep fit.

Grand-daughter Kirsten tried the Bones WAT-AAH! because as a cheerleader it will help her keep her bones strong.

Hubby tried the Energy WAT-AAH! because at his age he needs all the energy he can get.

Daughter tried the Brain WAT-AAH! because as a Mom of 4 who is expecting her 5th child and who works out of her home she needs her brain functioning at full force 24-7.

I'm a coffee drinker and getting me to drink water.... well let's just say the water has to taste good. And WAT-AAH! does! This water I would drink!

Lacie- Peanut Butter & Pickle- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her too little ones.

The Results...

"MILKIE MILKIE MILKIE," is what I hear constantly in my house. My children are seriously addicted to milk... At a point, I just cut them off and tell them that their only choice is water. They like water, but they don't LOVE water. So, how do you get your kiddos interested? Make it fun (and healthy) of course! 

I mean, who couldn't resist these brightly colored water bottles with a screaming kid on the front? As you can see in the picture above that they actually fought over their WAT-AAH!"

Challenger #96, Montana

Ashley- Always & Forever... A mom, wife, daughter and friend- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her family just in time for Back-to-School. She knows the importance of staying hydrated and how difficult it can be sometimes. "One of the most important things that we tend to forget about when our kids go back to school (and us grownups who are going back to school too!) is staying hydrated... With our busy lives and after school sports and activities we can forget to drink enough water." 

The Results...

"The challenge encourages you to get the sugary drinks out of your house.... The water tastes so fresh -especially right out of the fridge- and tastes much cleaner than the generic bottled kind that we have been buying at the store. So... get rid of all the sugary drinks and stay hydrated! Don't forget your kids who will have more energy and and be more alert for school!"

Challenger #95, New York

Edna- Our Life Upstate- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her family.

The Results...

Big Brother puts it simply: "It's water." Is there a catch? No. Is there a gimmick? No." So, what is it again, Big Brother? "It's water."

...like Big Brother says, "It's water." But, he does go on to explain, "I like hockey and I like WAT-AAH!"

Challenger #94, Pennsylvania

Tania- Twenty Something Momma- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her family.

The Setup...

"We placed our four sample bottles in the fridge and, instead of reaching for whatever sugary drinks we would normally choose throughout the day, decided to test out the WAT-AAH! V, our active, high-energy little boy, got first pick!"

The Result...

His WAT-AAH! of choice was the Bones variety (possibly because the bright orange label called to him - he's pretty big on loud colors)... For the rest of the day, V carried around his 16-ounce bottle and drank from it whenever he got thirsty, which meant that I didn't have to worry about whether or not he was getting enough hydration while playing.

The adults in the house weren't to be left behind, of course - I decided to try out the WAT-AAH! Energy in place of my usual Cranergy juice drink to give me a little pep in the middle of the afternoon. Surprisingly, it gave me a similar boost of energy, without the sugary aftertaste.

Later that evening, I caught my husband hanging out in the kitchen after dinner, enjoying a bottle of WAT-AAH! Brain. When I asked him what he thought of it, he told me it tasted "really, really clean - nothing but water and minerals" He also asked if he could take the last bottle in to work the next day, proving that no one is too old to appreciate the crisp, refreshing taste of WAT-AAH! Mission accomplished!

Challenger #93, Ontario

Kimberly- Candid, Clever & Cost-Effective- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge, hoping to become one step closer to having healthy kids. "Look what we are subjecting our children to! So I'm thinking it can't be all done at once but if we were to take baby steps like - replacing a couple drinks a day with a healthy alternative like WAT-AAH! and then just take it step by step it wouldn't be long before our kids were on the track to eating and drinking healthy by choice!"

The Setup...

"I put all four bottles in the fridge and waited for my little guy to head there for a drink. He checked out everything available which I'm not proud to say included some bottles of cola, some juice drinks (not even all real juice), some Iced Tea, milk, chocolate milk, yogurt drinks and the bottles of WAT-AAH!"

The Results...

He opened the door - browsed his options and then came out carrying a bottle of WAT-AAH! "I want this one Nana. Can you help me open it".

He kept looking at the bottle - there's a cool graphic that you can see inside the bottle if you look at it from the reverse side - he was quite captivated by it! He drank about half of the bottle got full and put it back in the fridge. 

For the rest of the day, every time he returned to the fridge he grabbed himself some WAT-AAH! - so it's that easy! Even given a multitude of options he chose the WAT-AAH! Apparently drinking WAT-AAH is much more fun than drinking the other stuff!"
