Evil Water

So, I am never hydrated enough. I just can't. I do not like the taste of water unless it's fresh from a clean well, and well, that doesn't happen all that often.
So I am constantly searching for flavored waters without sugar or fake sugar in them. My hips don't need the sugar, and my brain hates the fake sugar and proceeds to express it's displeasure with sharp knives. Or at least pain that feels like someone is stabbing me in my brain.
I have found Hint Waters and Metromint. Ralph's stocks Hint waters, but only in two flavors that I like (Peppermint and Pear)(and I mope because the Hint website has a ton of flavors. <mope mope mope> and yes, I have expressed my displeasure to Ralphs. Sadly, they care not.) and Metromint comes in four flavors - Peppermint, Orangemint, Lemonmint, and Spearmint. As Spearmint is both evil and disgusting, that leaves with me three flavors for Metromint.
Now, a little store downtown sells the Metromint. I am known, when I know that I really, really, really need to drink some water that day (in that way that the body has of telling you that 18 ozs of liquid you drank yesterday just doesn't cut it), to stop and get a bottle or two.
Today, today, they had CHERRYmint. Cherry. And Mint. This could either be very, very, very good or very very bad. The bottle taunts me, speaking to me of the great evil that is contained within. Do I dare open it and taste it? I mean.... Cherry... and Mint...
Two tastes that don't really go together.
