# Cartoony Fortified Water AquaBall's Naturally Flavored Water for Kids Features Favorite Characters By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-04-29 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquaball References: [aquaballdrink](http://www.aquaballdrink.com/all-flavors/) AquaBall knows how important the right flavoring and presentation are to getting kids to stay hydrated by drinking more water. Packaged in a container that's almost fully spherical, the bottled water beverages resemble more of a toy than an product for the maintenance of good health. This is helped by playful wraps that show off familiar [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-water-beverage) princesses, characters from Frozen, Mickey Mouse's friends and the crew from [Marvel's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actiph-water) Avengers. Flavors like Berry Frost, Orange Splash, Fruit Punch and Grape appeal to kids, while parents will appreciate the fact that the drinks are sugar-free and naturally-flavored. Rather than being bad for kids, these beverages will satisfy thirst and a need for essential vitamins like B3, B5, B6, B12 and C. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cartoony Beverages:** Opportunity for beverage companies to create more fun, playful designs and packaging to appeal to children. - **Naturally-flavored Hydration:** Opportunity to create more healthy beverage options with natural flavors and no added sugar for both adults and children. - **Essential Vitamin-infused Drinks:** Opportunity to create more beverages that provide essential vitamins like B3, B5, B6, B12 and C for those who struggle to get them through their daily diet. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Industry:** Opportunity for companies to create innovative drinks and packaging to appeal to new markets and demographics. - **Children's Health Industry:** Opportunity for companies to create more healthy and appealing beverage options for children to promote healthy hydration habits from a young age. - **Vitamin-infused Beverage Industry:** Opportunity to create more healthy beverages that provide essential daily vitamins for those who struggle to meet their daily requirements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Color-In Hydrating Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oodles-of-doodles.md) - [Kid-Focused Water Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-kids.md) - [Child-Focused Bottled Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-water.md) - [Cartoon-Branded Aluminum Water Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-water-beverage.md) - [Kid-Friendly Hydration Powders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/critter-vitamin-h2o.md) - [Child-Friendly Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jamu-wild-water.md) - [Pediatric Hydration Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquabud.md) - [Kid-Friendly Seltzer Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seltzerjr.md) - [Hydrating Kid-Friendly Cactus Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caliwater-kids-pouches.md)
