Vitamin Water 2015: Are SoBe Lifewater Employees TRAPPED In Factory? PepsiCo Bottle Caps Asking Help Go Viral

Those who want to keep up with fitness trends and the healthiest way of living are more than familiar with vitamin water 2015, an enhanced water product that keeps growing and it's aimed at the more conscious consumers - but in the recent weeks, one of the major brands producing it, SoBe Lifewater, has come under fire over possible slave labor.

Vitamin water 2015 has gone viral after SoBe Lifewater buyers suddenly found themselves owning water bottles with desperate cries for help written on the bottle caps, with "Help me I'm trapped in SoBe factory," prompting concerns.

 According to The Independent, last week saw SoBe Lifewater's vitamin water 2015 go viral, as concerned customers took to the brand's social media to call them out on the worrying bottle caps, as their different products were flooded with the help messages. Luckily, however, SoBe Lifewater's vitamin water 2015 messages were just a prank from the company, owned by PepsiCo.

Quartz reports that SoBe Lifewater's vitamin water 2015 already has a history of putting jokes on their bottle caps, but this one was received with less than open arms in a day and age when slave labor still occurs in many countries under the wing of some of the biggest companies in the globe.

Seeing things had gone a little too far, SoBe extended its apologies through Facebook.

"Hi there, we're sorry that our cap slogan caused you concern, that was certainly not our intention," the Facebook post read. "These sayings are intended to give our consumers a little smile or pause for thought, not offense, while they enjoy their favorite SoBe beverage. We are planning on removing this cap slogan from our current rotation, however, it will take a while for existing stock to run through the market."

According to BuzzFeed, the International Labor Organization's number report that there are 21 million people that are victims of forced labor around the world, while UNICEF estimates that around one-sixth of the planet's children are currently under some form of child labor - which accounts for SoBe Lifewater's vitamin water 2015 joke to have been entirely shut off by concerned customers.
