For the second consecutive year, Reebok fitness water beverage has been judged "Excellent" by the American Tasting Institute, a division of Quality Institute International, in the Fortified Water category. Three Reebok fitness water beverage flavours, including Natural, Berry and Citrus, were awarded for meeting and exceeding the Institute's range of criteria.

"We developed Reebok fitness water beverage with essential vitamins, minerals and electrolytes to appeal to the active, health conscious individual, but wanted to ensure it still delivered on taste. This recognition by the American Tasting Institute for the second consecutive year confirms we delivered on our objective to provide a great tasting beverage to meet our consumers' refreshment needs," said Jonathan Cronin, VP of Marketing for Clearly Canadian's US subsidiary, CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation.
