Anyone try these? They have to be the best tasting powdered juice mix ive ever had!

Lemonade tastes like lemonade (pink too!)
Peach tastes like peach!
The snozberries taste like actual snozberries!

In a can with four containers? You're putting 4 packets into a can of water (12oz?)... blech (if so). Otherwise, yeah, Crystal Lite is good stuff, especially if sometimes you dislike plain water and due to being trained to drink syrupy, sweet drinks. The fact that it has Splenda instead of aspartamine is excellent also.

I don't care for artificial sweetener. I've been on a flavored seltzer water kick lately. No sweetness at all, just fruit flavors. I used to buy Strathmore seltzer from Scotland, but I don't see it around any more :^(

As far as powdered drink mixes go yeah they are good. But they have been around for like 4 years or more haven't they?

The cardboard can (tube) comes with four little plastic cups each good for making a pitcher of crystal light.

Well if you just want flavored water, if you put once cup (i think its like 2Tablespoons worth) into 3~ gallons of water it would do it. Stuff is powerfull.

Tried a small bit of the stuff by itself and it was like wow.

I keep a box of the single server packets next to my desk at work... nice to have when the vending machine people decide not to stock our machine with any non-carbonated diet drinks.

Try the Target/Walmart brands. They taste exactly the same at 1/4 the price. The Orange Sunrise is my favorite- tastes like Tang :)

my mom used to drink it back in the late 70s. i like the raspberry ice sometimes (gotta mix it into a 24oz tho, too sweet) and the sunrise orange is my usual.
