Fruit2O facts for kids

Fruit₂O is a type of water that has a light fruit flavor. It's not fizzy like soda. This drink was first made in 1999. It was created to be a tasty choice for people who wanted something different from plain bottled water or sugary soft drinks.

What is Fruit2O?

Fruit2O was first made by a company called Veryfine Products. Later, a bigger company named Kraft bought Veryfine. In 2007, Sunny Delight Beverages bought the Fruit2O brand from Kraft. This means different companies have owned Fruit2O over the years.

What's Inside Fruit2O?

When Fruit2O first started, it was made with spring water. It also had natural fruit flavors. To keep it fresh, they added things like sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. These are special ingredients that help drinks stay good for a longer time. The only sweetener used was Splenda, which is also known as sucralose.

When Kraft owned the company, they stopped using spring water. They also added another artificial sweetener called Ace-K (acesulfame potassium). Later, Veryfine Products became its own company again. Fruit2O then went back to only using sucralose as its sweetener.

Sweeteners in Fruit2O

The main sweeteners in Fruit2O are sucralose and acesulfame potassium. These are artificial sweeteners. They make the drink taste sweet without adding sugar or calories. This is why Fruit2O has no calories, no fat, and no sugar.
