which do you like/drink most?


Everyone tells me its easier to drink more water if you try the different kinds of these, but ive tried all sorts of varities and they are all too sweet, even the sugar free ones. To the point where id rather drink just water plain.

post some suggestions

crystal light lightly lemon? it's not nearly as good as their lemonade, but it's a lot less sweet, so it might work for you.

Drink'll be less sweet.

You're welcome.

water with a bit of lemon juice

or cucumber water! it's actually pretty good, IMO, especially if you add a tiny bit of citrus

i drink every kind of sugar free drink mix out there, from Crystal Light to Wyler's and back again. they're all too sweet for me. if it says mix with 16.9oz of water, i'm mixing it with 20-22oz just so i can tolerate it.

currently i'm on a Crystal Light Cherry Pomegranate kick

i get the cheap "great value" brand mix and use a half of a tub per gallon (so it's 25% strength)...the raspberry and strawberry are good, but i hate red-colored mixes because that stuff stains if you get it on your clothes

works well for me in terms of flavor, though

are you buying the individual packets? if so, those are supposed to go in 16.9oz of water. if you just mix it in 20oz of water, you should be fine, it won't be as sweet then.

i don't really like them. i drink a lot more water, or any drink, if i've got a straw or one of those bite valves.

if i had to pick one, the koolaid ones win.

oh, and sugar free doesn't mean it's not sweet, it just means they use artificial sweeteners...

i like crystal light when you make it in a pitcher and make like 2Quarts at once or whatever

but the individual packets you pour into bottled water ARE too sweet. and so are the premixed bottles of crystal light you can buy.

ah well, here's my solution to that. we have a water cooler at work, and this water bottle holds 24oz when filled to capacity. i take it with me everywhere. it even has a spout to drink out of. i love it love it love it. it's perfect for people like you and i who think 16.9oz is just not enough water for the individual packets. i own 4 of these bottles and highly recommend them.

those 32oz suckers are too big though. one packet in 32oz of water is a bit too watered down for me.

I usually keep lemon juice on hand to flavor my water, but I tried these drink mixes based on porcha's recommendation. They were some individual food lion brand ones and the 1 packet to 16oz water was just ludicrous.

I barely use a fourth of the packet for 32oz of water.

^4 exactly. i have big nalgenes then the little baby ones (which don't help at all obviously).

i've seen lots of people with the one that thumper posted, though. perhaps i will invest in one of those.
