On Saturday, I was at the intersection of Germantown Ave. and Broad Street, when I saw something that seemed kind of out of place (granted, I was kind of out of place at that intersection too). It was a large billboard advertising Vitamin Water. 50 Cent was the one doing the promotion.
I’ve always associated Vitamin Water, Smart Water and all the other Glaceau products with Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and other upscale, health/natural food stores and those stores are nowhere to be found in that neighborhood. So, I did a little googling, to find out what the story was.

Unlike his business counterparts who have invested in energy drinks and liquor businesses, the Queen’s bred rapper bought a stake in Glaceau, the company that owns the Vitamin Water drink.

50 said he drinks the product on a regular basis, since he does not drink alcoholic beverages.

Personally, I think it’s pretty cool that he doesn’t drink and he’s encouraging his fans to drink something a little healthier (even is some of the Glaceau products are just sugar water).
