Task

Task #1

In this discussion, we're going to evaluate and compare different fluid hydration products. Choose a commercial beverage – this is should be one you drink all the time or one you want to know more about. Research this beverage and write a post in the 2.08 Fluid Products Discussion addressing the following:

  • Tell the name of the drink.
  • Identify the type of drink: sports drink, energy drink, soda, tea/coffee/water product, etc.
  • Are there stimulants in your drink? If so, what kind and how much?
  • Does the drink contain phosphorus, sugar, or artificial sweeteners? If so, how much?
  • Has anyone ever died or gotten sick from drinking this drink? Can you find any legal cases involving this beverage?
  • Does the manufacturer make any claims about this drink? If so, do they seem realistic?
  • Do you drink this product? How often?

After submitting your original post, read over your classmates' work. Comment on at least classmates' posts. You should provide meaningful feedback that furthers the discussion and is specific to that individual's beverage evaluation.

When participating in an online discussion, you should use formal, standard English and obey all conventions of punctuation and spelling. Avoid abbreviations or symbols used in texting, messaging, or informal conversation.

You will be graded according to the 2.08 Fluid Products Discussion Scoring Guide.
