about glaceau

it all started when one thirsty man named darius wanted better water, but couldn't find any worth drinking, so he decided to make his own. along came a guy from queens named mike (he's like darius' robin ... but don't tell him that) and because mike has a gift for the gab, it's no wonder word got around, thus emerged glaceau, a fresh new approach to bottled water. today glaceau, the leader of the enhanced water category, is the maker of vitaminwater(R), fruitwater(R), smartwater(R) and vitaminenergy(TM). now with 750+ full and part-time employees, (that's a big holiday party) glaceau is all about helping thirsty people like you hydrate responsibly with something truly good for your body. for more information, visit http://www.glaceau.com/.
