MIO flavors?

WinnerVictorious

i saw a few people on here talking about using MIO, so i picked up a bottle to try it out a couple of days ago. i got the Sweet Tea flavor, and although i can tell that it does approximate the taste of sweet tea, it has a bit of a "chemical" aftertaste to me. i assume that's the artificial sweetener in it, which i'm not used to.

do all flavors have this "chemical" aftertaste? which MIO flavors taste the most like what they are supposed to be, in your opinion(s)?

I have Cranberry Pomegranate ( I think ) It's not bad, as long as it's cold and has vodka in it

really though, it's a good flavor

My favorite is the Strawberry Watermelon.

Mio's are totally keeping me from drinking soda. I never drank water before and usually did 2 cans of Pepsi a day. Now I drink water (flavored with Mio) all day and in 3.5 weeks I've been on MFP I've only had 2 Pepsi's.

I think I call that a NSV!

My favorite Mio flavor is the Cherry energy one - and the Green energy one is pretty good too.

As a humectant food additive, labeled as E number E1520
As an emulsification agent in Angostura and orange bitters
As a moisturizer in medicines, cosmetics, food, toothpaste, shampoo, mouth wash, hair care and tobacco products

As a less-toxic antifreeze in solar water heating systems
As a solvent used in mixing photographic chemicals, such as film developers
In cryonics
As a working fluid in hydraulic presses
As a coolant in liquid cooling systems
To regulate humidity in a cigar humidor
As the killing and preserving agent in pitfall traps, usually used to capture ground beetles

It's non-toxic and sweet. May be harmful, but I like the cherry electrolyte on myself. The Wal-Mart brand is half the price too.

thanks. i'm well over the hurdle and now only drink water (well 99% of the time i only drink water). was just looking for an occasional change of taste by trying out the MIO. i'll go for the Cherry Energy flavor next time. i hope the chemical aftertaste is less noticeable on that one...
