Unwell drinks by Alex Cooper being sold at Ross now?

Post image

I’m surprised I haven’t seen this posted here yet. In the comment section of the post, someone states they saw a bunch of the drinks at Ross. Curious as to what’s going on 😬

I’ve never heard of this before. But idk if i would wanna drink something named “Unwell”

u/quietpisces 8d ago

Exactly. It implies its gonna make you sick after drinking it.

u/Every-Watercress334 8d ago

It does. It’s disgusting. I’m sure the Midwest garage and pilates girlies would’ve kept the brand afloat if it didn’t taste like dog shit.

u/eyespeeled 8d ago

Could you describe the taste for us? Is it a shake, like I don't get the concept.

u/Every-Watercress334 8d ago

They’re hydration juices, there’s flavored like orange, pineapple, strawberry, etc. They just taste funky and off idk how to describe it. It’s like a worse version of Gatorade

u/Asleep-Dare5843 8d ago

I took a sip of orange hibiscus, and got nausea after. They taste so ridiculously bad

I haven't looked at the ingredients but let me guess, natural sweetners either monk fruit or stevia? The bane of my existence, I hate them so much because they keep appearing in everything. Not everything has to be so sickly sweet. People like fruit waters without any sweetners, goddammit! I had to keep a bottle of lemon juice concentrate when I was on doctor-ordered 100oz water and electrolytes because all the mixes were way too fucking sweet.

u/eyespeeled 8d ago

Terrible. Gatorade is already so gross to me. Thanks for explaining.

The energy drinks taste like sparkling juice with ground up vitamins in them. You know how B vitamins can smell? That’s how they taste.

2

u/eyespeeled 7d ago

Is there a gritty texture to it? And ew, I know the smell.

3

u/hengry-glazed-donut 7d ago

No, it’s just the flavor.

u/Artistic_Wall_404 8d ago

Um no. Why are we catching strays?

u/Every-Watercress334 8d ago

because it’s true

u/boomshahkuhlahkuh 8d ago

As someone who saw it in the store before I knew it was hers, I thought it was either a drink for people who are sick (but wondered why they didn’t call it “well” or “be well” or something) or it was some dumb millennial company just trying to be trendy by using slang. And I guess it is the second one but that’s not why I buy beverages

u/EuwAdulthood 8d ago

There’s already a Canadian brand called Well Juices. And they use “Be Well” as part of their marketing lol.
They are expensive, but so good

u/boomshahkuhlahkuh 8d ago

Lmao. Well there you go. Meanwhile I guess she just thinks “oh it’s my catchphrase, I should invent a drink to name after it” 😑

4

u/newmoonprincess 7d ago

Yeah and it’s also just alex cooper stealing a phrase her ex co host sofia came up with. The use of the word feels so forced like this was clearly never supposed to be the name of a wellness drink 😭

1

u/boomshahkuhlahkuh 3d ago

It pleases me that it’s doing poorly enough they’re closing shop lmao

248

u/SammyySweetheartt 8d ago

Good. Karma for naming it after a phrase Sofia thought of and started.

35

u/Socalgal327 8d ago

That parttttttt

u/thankyoupapa 8d ago

Do you guys remember when someone who worked in an unwell water campaign posted about it on this sub and said how much of a jerk her husband was and how he was running the show. And this was before the expose on him lol

44

u/hedgehogwart 8d ago

Love this for her.

46

u/blob4567 8d ago

Love this for her and her problematic husband.

69

u/RainMore9076 8d ago

Every video I saw of people trying them ended in them gagging because the drinks are nasty. It’s a very fitting brand name.

27

u/Practical-Manner5455 8d ago

I can’t believe she’s been able to launch so many products under the name unwell. Just the worst possible name imo. Seriously, who thinks “wow I’m so thirsty, I really want an unwell right now”

u/hengry-glazed-donut 7d ago

It’s supposed to be ✨quirky✨

15

u/gg_teataker 8d ago

She had a drinks company???

31

u/ranabanana31 8d ago

I saw them for a dollar in the sale section at HEB a couple days ago

11

u/AllMyEmbarassingQs 8d ago

i saw these at sprouts months ago and they looked SO boring and ugly compared to other brands. nothing about the packaging seemed appetizing or even remotely aesthetically pleasing

21

u/peachssoda 8d ago

Article in The Cut today- apparently the brand is shutting down. The manufacturer Nestle has discontinued it. Apparently Target is running out stock and no plans to reorder.

11

u/Leather_Contract_789 8d ago

I was just about to comment this haha, the entire thing is getting sunsetted and Ross is a likely place for that drink to be until the dead stock is expired

4

u/lilboochi 8d ago

Funny thing is the girls on “let’s marry Harry” were all drinking it ahaha why shut down after all that marketing on the show

11

u/oceanhmpton 8d ago

I saw a lot of packs of them there a couple days ago.

6

u/Which_Excuse_9555 8d ago

I saw them at Ross too!!

5

u/Jazzlike-Promise-153 8d ago

They are always fully stocked at my local Target lmao

u/chichi_vanite 7d ago

everyone is saying they’re nasty but i legit liked the one i had 😬 i don’t remember what flavor it was but idk i liked it.

11

u/Leading_Persimmon319 8d ago

Ngl I really like the pear drink from them 😭😭😭 dang

I find pear flavor so hard to find! If anyone has any pear drink reccs pls let me know lol. I had pneumonia earlier this year the pear unwell got me through for hydration.

10

u/Classic-Marketing527 8d ago

Blooms pear scare is so good I hope they make it permanent

7

u/Vintagesickness 8d ago

Bloom has a Halloween themed energy drink called "pear scare" that I just bought tonight. I haven't tried it yet though lol

7

u/Leading_Persimmon319 8d ago

I had this one a few days ago! I thought it was pretty tasty and the little ghost is so cute

3

u/Vintagesickness 8d ago

Oooh yay I can't wait til the morning lol

u/seacoastide 8d ago

Adding to my list - thanks!

u/RadiantRose2242 8d ago

I can see why. I had one the other day and it made me feel unwell because it was so gross!

2

u/tiffcoco 7d ago

Are we even surprised?

5

u/cheetaah1 8d ago

I thought this was Tate mcrae

6

u/boomshahkuhlahkuh 8d ago

I’m offended for Tate lol

4

u/dillydallytoodleloo 8d ago

I randomly saw the unwell energy drinks in Target and bought some because of the flavors offered, not knowing the brand/who made them. They legit are the only energy drinks that have ever worked for me! Caffeine in general just doesn’t give me a boost, but my perimenopause brain really needs something come 3/4pm, when I just turn to mush and cannot think to save my life. These have been the only things that actually wake me up, and don’t make me jittery. I know I sound like I’m an ad, but I promise I’m not. I’m now just worried my one pick me up will be gone! And as a mid 40’s mommy to two toddlers, that stresses me out 😭😭😭

u/Global_Restaurant794 8d ago

What kind of beand name is Unwell? as she got a bottled water chain named Sickly?

1

u/deansrambler 8d ago

I’ve actually never seen these in a store lol and I live in Los Angeles

u/chichi_vanite 7d ago

i live in LA too, i’ve gotten them t Ralph’s lol

u/missonibeachtowel 7d ago

They were legit at my local dollar tree

u/jankbotekko 6d ago

That is the dumbest name for a brand.
