I do! Before I started on MFP, I was addicted to McDonald's sweet tea. Then I found out that a large has 280 calories, and I was NOT down with that. Now, I use the Mio water enhancers in Sweet Tea and Fruit punch, and I find that I've nearly double my water intake for the day. There are sometimes when plain, cold water tastes really good, but I find that I get tired of it. This stuff is great!

    I've not heard of it. Where in the store is it usually displayed? Thanks.

    Just remember it has Splenda in it, so if your anti-artificial sweeteners this is not the drink for you.

    I saw it near the pharmacy at walmart, near the nutritional supplement stuff, on an endcap display.

    I love this stuff too! I was constantly buying SoBe life water because plain water is not my favorite thing and since I basically don't drink anything BUT water now I needed something to help get it down:). I love the Peach tea and the Strawberry Watermelon ( I think that's what it is). They taste great and it doesn't take much to flavor my 32 oz water bottle so it's $ saved!
  • I've been debating getting one at the store this week instead of my usual water enhancers... now I think I will. Thanks!
  • This is crazy to read this post because I was just wondering what I could use in place of all my diet pop. I will def have to try it! :wink:

    I'm SOOOOO glad you posted this. I'd been thinking about purchasing it, the Sweet Tea one specifically, but chickened out every time.

    Off to buy some at lunchtime!! GOD BLESS YOU!!

    I tried the mango peach flavor, and wasn't crazy about it, but I want to try just the peach. I'm also looking forward to the strawberry/watermelon! At our Walmart, I found it in one of those temporary displays the set up in the middle of the main aisle.
    I was actually happy to hear that it had Splenda instead of aspartame, since I'm allergic to aspartame, but I know there are a lot of people that don't used artificial sweeteners at all.

    I've had both the berry pomegranate and the strawberry watermelon, and I really like them both. I got the free samples, and I was finally able to find it at a local Target.

    Gotcha. That's what I was looking for. I think I'll just stick with plain old water. Or lemon juice. :happy:

    I just bought the fruit punch flavor after printing out an on-line coupon. Meh. It's OK, but I had to add 1/2 more than the serving size to keep it from just tasting like watered-down juice. I was originally not going to purchase again, but after seeing the original post about the sweet tea flavor, I might have to try that one (I, too, am a sweet tea addict). In general, I like the Target brand (Market Pantry On-The-Go) packets.

    I have been wondering what is in the Mio? The color and flavor - where do those come from?

    I am curious but haven't tried it yet.

    Haven't tried the Mio, but I use the Kroger In-an-instant drink mixes in my water bottles. The raspberry lemonade and the green tea ones are amazing :)

    My local Meijer store had a promo: buy 2 Mio, get a 24 pack of water free. Was getting the water anyway, so figured what the heck. However, not been impressed the two times I've tried it. First time, way over did it. Second time, I used half as much and was still too sweet. I'll keep experimenting, but usually don't have time to play taste test when I'm running out the door.

    The instructions of "one squeeze" or "two squeezes" is vague at best. I read that before I bought them, and thought it had a pre-measured amount that would come out in a 'squeeze.' No such luck. Thus, I think even if I get it tasting 'right,' it will be hard to maintain constancy from bottle to bottle.
