...name on front. Step in Volvic Touch of Fruit – the flavoursome saviour of parched peeps across this sunny nation. Your Volvic TOF comes in exactly the same bottle as your basic Volvic – ie square in shape, plastic lid, not v exciting. The difference is that the bottle top is brightly coloured to reflect the fruity flavour inside! In this case, it’s yellow, to put us in mind of the lemon and lime flavour we’re going to be chugging. This alone gives ...
...one half litre bottle of Volvic TOF contains around 100 calories, which is substantially less than in a can of Coke, but 100 more than in a bottle of virgin, untampered-with pure water. Kids, the choice is yours. But I’m bored with plain water and I need an incentive to drink the blasted stuff. I know that water is good for me - it keeps me awake, alert and headache-free during the working day. But with that lovely little fruity twist, it’s a tasty ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely taste, very refreshing
Disadvantages: Smells slightly sickly

...and spied a six-pack of Volvic Touch of Fruit. The description on the pack was basically that it was a still strawberry flavoured mineral water. The six-pack (6 x 330 ml) was £2.78. PACKAGING The packaging is quite striking – it does tend to leap out off the shelf at you. As it is a six-pack, you have the six bottles standing upright, encased by a cardboard sleeve. The cardboard sleeve in this case is partially bright red (at the top of the ...
...to a standard bottle of Volvic mineral water (only smaller in size if you are thinking of the 1.5 litre version), in the way that it is a square shaped bottle. It is made of clear plastic and has a distinctive red screw top lid, which I found easy to open. There is a plastic strip encasing the upper part of the bottle, which gives the name, flavour and nutritional values, as well as some advice and information, which I will summarise: It tells you ...

Advantages: not horrendously expensive, not too sweet but not too bland. Great when suffering from a debilitating hangover.
Disadvantages: Under that healthy looking exterior lies a sugary twist.

...glugged my first bottle of Volvic touch of fruit. Having had my dear mum point out to me how I'd piled on the odd pound or 12 after moving out, I'd decided to take a few wee steps to trim down my calorie count. Well, it was either that or start taking regular exercise. No thanks. So picture the scene. I'm sitting in my big comfy armchair, happily convincing myself that im going to get fitter by watching athletics on BBC1, drinking a bottle of this ...
...the back of the bottle. Volvic natural mineral water, 92%. Fair enough. Next most present ingredient? Sugar. Can't be right. Cast a doubting glance over to the nutrition information. Expression of doubt turns to one of horror on noticing the 23.3 kcal energy rating. Remember that cheated feeling I was on about earlier? Well I had that feeling for about 0.2 of a second, cos Volvic Touch of Fruit is so damned gorgeous it makes you cease to care. So ... Read review

Advantages: Makes a change from plain still water
Disadvantages: Shockingly sugary, tastes like squash only costs a lot more

...two 500ml bottles of Strawberry Volvic Touch of Fruit recently. It's not something I'd normally buy, or even try necessarily. After all, what's wrong with corporation pop? And when out and about I usually either have a bottle of water in my bag, or pick up some diet coke en route to whereever I'm off to. But this made for a change. I stuck both bottles of water in the fridge overnight, and the following morning packed one of them into my lunch bag. ...
...very similar to a standard Volvic bottle, made of pale blue (recyclable) plastic. Rather than the standard dark blue cap, this one was bright red. I suppose that's meant to indicate that it's strawberry flavoured (clever, eh?). The label was more red tinged than the standard Volvic water label too, again to help differentiate the flavoured variety from the plain. When I glanced at the label to double check nutritional information I did a double ... Read review
