If you are an old reader, you'd remember that all of us ladies here at Yaybia LOVE vitamin water. So I'm flipping through Allure Magazine last week, and I find this ad:
Woah brand extension? Vitamin Water making shampoo? Cool, does that mean my hair can smell like DragonFruit??? Double check - no mention of Vitamin Water, just vitaminshampoo. So I check out the website: www.vitaminshampoo.com, and look what I find:
Completely different packaging!! Fail? I think so. Check the "in the press link!" What do we find there? Examples of their magazine ads. And what do they look like?
Well, that is the issue I was in, and that certainly isn't the ad that I found. So what happened? I can't find any news in quickly poking around online, but it appears that someone copied the Vitamin Water design, it got printed, someone from Vitamin Water freaked out, and the packaging got redesigned.
Leave a comment if you know anything!
Very very interesting...

I think I'd rather pour actual Vitamin Water on my hair than support this blatant rip-off.
Conversely, if Glaceau actually made shampoo, I'd be first in line to "try it!"
This is torture - I want a Vitamin Water N O W !
I would even drink that damn shampoo plus conditioner. My dad is gonna go to the states in a couple of weeks. My brother requested all sorts of clothes and electronics, I asked for water...
what a great catch.
