Kari- mom of 4- went for The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her little ones. She was a skeptic at first... "My kids come home from school and the first thing they do is BEG me for Kool Aide, so I really couldn't see them choosing something with no colors AND no flavors... especially if it was just water."
The set up...
"So I placed the bottles in the fridge next to all of their favorite drinks, milk and our Brita pitcher just in time for the kids to come home from school to beg and plead for their "after school snack!"
The results...
"Like I had predicted the first thing the little ones did was run to the fridge screaming "Mommy I'm THIRSTY... Mommy I'm HUNGRY!" Right away they spotted the WAT-AAH! Interested to see what it was my oldest grabbed it and took a sip immediately. Not saying a word the others began to fight over the bottles. Needless to say I think WAT-AAH! won! They loved the bottles... and I loved the fact they were drinking water!!!!!"

Linda- took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her grandchildren and she could not have been more excited about the results. Going from kids who never drink water... to fans of WAT-AAH! was more then this granny could ask for.
The results...
"Ally just loves it she has been carrying around the bottle and asks for it all the time. I think for her it is the bottle size, it fits in her little hand and she loves saying WAT-AAH!"

Heather, Mom of 3 boys- gave The WAT-AAH! Challenge a try! Here is what she had to say...
"I did the WAT-AAH! Challenge with my boys, ages 2 and 4 and I was shocked by the results. My 2 year old waffled at first then ended up picking soda, I think because it was the shiniest bottle in the fridge. But my 4 year old went straight for the WAT-AAH! And ever since we did the challenge, my 4 year old has been asking me where the yummy WAT-AAH! is! I guess I'm going to have to buy some for him!! :)"

Autum- Tried The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her boys.
The results...
"I can tell you though that my boys were really drawn to the bottles because of the bright colors and the picture of the kid on it. They kept asking "Is this Water?", "Can we drink it?" "Why does it look like that?" I believe they chose it over the other drinks because of how interested they were in it based on just how it looked.Thank you again!!!"

Daniel along w/ his science class of 42 students took The WAT-AAH! Challenge as part of their Healthy Choices Festival. They kids all choose WAT-AAH! as their new favorite HEALTHY choice... replacing those UNHEALTHY drinks they had stocked in their fridges at home and in the cafeteria.
The results...
"Having your support in our unit of study is so important to us, as we have been learning a lot about empty calories and how it is really easy to drink our calories. I cannot tell you how psyched the kids are. They want more and more and more and we are so happy to see the sugary drinks gone (for good?). Many parents were asking about it too saying that now all their kids are asking for is this new water!!!"
Here are the kids enjoying WAT-AAH! and making it a part of their Healthy Choice Festival curriculum.

Emily- Busy Mom- Took The WAT-AAH! Challenge.
Here are the results...
"I tried this with both my son and my husband. My son is only 20 months old so he doesn’t drink pop anyways, but I let him look in the fridge. He knows the “usuals,” in our fridge, so he was drawn to these cool new bottles. As soon as my husband opened the door he said “Whats this??” looking interested. He tried it right away. I also tried the WAT-AAH! I was surprised, it actually tasted cleaner than other bottled waters."

Jennifer- JenniferSuarez.com- was excited The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her girls but like many was wondering if it would REALLY work...
"The idea behind the WAT-AAH! brand is that the attractive packaging will help draw the kids to it. I have to admit, the bottles ARE super cute. But I wondered... would it be enough to persuade my girls to choose them?"
She placed the bottles in the fridge... ...and then asked the girls what they wanted to drink.
Here's what happened...

"Overall they both really enjoyed it. As a Mom I was happy to see them drinking something other than juice or another sugary drink. Bonus? The WAT-AAH! Brain contains electrolytes to help keep them going.
After downing both bottles my oldest daughter summed it up best when she said...
"Mom?? I know it's empty but can we PLEASE keep the bottles?"
Challenger #54, Wisconsin
Sarah- Tried The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her kids. Unfortunately, it was not the first drink they noticed.
"I sat ready with the camera and my son didn't seem to notice the WAT-AAH! *Sigh*"
But... Once they see it the just cant resist!
"Then, out of the blue, a few days ago my preschooler emerged from the kitchen, with WAT-AAH! in hand. I automatically replied "Did you ask for a drink?" because he isn't supposed to help himself without checking with a grown-up. He replied - "I didn't have to, Mom. I know this water is for me! It's water for kids!"
He knew the WAT-AAH! was for him! And he was excited to drink it!

Challenger #52, Georgia
Alicia- The Mommy Insider- took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her kids. Here is what she had to say....
"Do kids ever WANT to drink water? When WAT-AAH!'s available mine do!
When I put WAT-AAH! in the fridge in cluster of milk, regular bottled water, and apple juice, Sebastian chose WAT-AAH!. The first time he chose WAT-AAH!, he said it was out of curiosity but he enjoyed it. Just a little while later he chose WAT-AAH! again, over apple juice. When I asked why he chose WAT-AAH! over the apple juice, he said it was "because the bottle is cool and looks fun". I asked him about the lack of flavor and if he felt like his thirst was quenched and he replied with a simple "It's water mom. Water doesn't have flavor and I'm not thirsty right now, I just drank some water". That was a bit of a smart-alic answer but he was being truthful. It is in fact water, and after drinking about 1/3rd of the bottle of WAT-AAH! he wasn't thirst anymore!"

Wendy had her daughter take The WAT-AAH! Challenge. Choose WAT-AAH!, she did! See what she had to say...
"I put the bottles in the refrigerator right next to the soda bottles. As soon as my daughter came home, she asked me right away, " Whats this new drink?" I told her it was a healthier water and she was welcome to try if she wanted to. She enjoyed reading the description of the bottle, and as soon as she tried it she loved it! She keeps asking me when we are going to buy more!"

Kathleen from California took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her two kids. Even though they did not choose the WAT-AAH! right away, once they learned it was just water, but better for ya-aah! The LOVED it!
"My kids did not drink the water at first. BUT when I explained that it contained vitamins and brain food, they both drank one and said that it was good!! I am sure that they will drink it more often now that they know it is good for them. They love the name. WAT-AAH!"

Hank-Shotgun Daddy- Was a little skeptical about having his kids try yet another water.... "I know what you're thinking, believe me, I do. At this stage in the game, when we've got about seventeen thousand different varieties of flavored water, filtered water, vitamin-enhanced water, and brought-down-to-Earth-by-aliens water, why in the world would we ever need yet another version of that which already flows freely from our faucets?
But he decided to give The WAT-AAH! Challenge a try.
"Well, without commenting on the water industry in general, let me tell you this: my kids absolutely love WAT-AAH! WAT-AAH!"
And here is how The Challenge went...

And here is how The Challenge went...
Anyway, the good people at WAT-AAH! were nice enough to send me a few samples so I could run a simple test. The idea was that I would put a couple bottles in the refrigerator next to some soda or Gatorade and see what my kids would pick. It was a nice idea in theory, except for one problem. They never made it to the fridge. My kids descended as soon as I opened the package, and the bottles were gone. As pictured above, my daughter grabbed one to take to her basketball game, and she definitely preferred it to Gatorade.
The only bad news I can see in this whole thing is that even though WAT-AAH! is currently available in twenty-eight states, you still can't buy it in California, which is a drag. (If you're lucky enough to live in NYC, you can get it almost anywhere, but if you live anywhere west of the Mississippi, you'll have to order it from Amazon.com.)
But please try it -- I know you and your kids will love it.

Challenger #45, Connecticut
Stacy- Milford, CT Mom took The WAT-AAH! Challenge with her little ones.
"My children who drank it are 2 and 4 and usually only drink milk, water and sometimes watered down juice. The first thing my 4 year old commented on was 'how cool' that bottle was, how it looked better than my bottle of water especially! She did not notice a difference really in taste she just said that it was good. She did choose it over anything else that she is allowed to choose from. My 2 year old did not really comment but pointed to that each time I asked her what she would like to drink for as long as the bottle was in there!"
Even though they didn't say much, they still chose the WAT-AAH! and it kept them coming back for more!

Challenger #44, New Jersey
Valerie- Mom Knows It All, thought it would be interesting to take The WAT-AAH! Challenge in her household to see how the kids would react. She like many mothers doesn't let her kids drink much soda, so she decided to challenge other water brands.
The set up...
I placed the bottles of WAT-AAH! on a shelf in the frig with a bottle of Poland Spring water and bottles of two different flavors of Fruit2O.
The results...
"My son came into the living room, where I was on the computer, and said “Mom, what’s up with these?” and drank it before I could answer. I checked the frig and all of the other drinks were still there. I’m confident the packaging is what made him take that one over the others. I’d say that in our own way he did pass the WAT-AAH challenge!"
