    I love the Crystal Light liquid that they came out with! A little goes a long way with the drops.

    Crystal light is nice to wean yourself off of diet pop and onto water. Gradually, I'm diluting the powder more and more.

    I try to avoid all things that contain artificial colors like mio, crystal light (regular), etc. Read the ingredient list. Too many chemicals in food already (at least in the U.S.)

    I use Crystal Light Pure once in a while. Tastes good with no artificial colors.

    Artificial colors are banned in foods in most other industrialized nations.

    I see people attempt to make this (false) claim all the time, yet I have never once seen anyone actually be able to name a country that has banned all artificial colors. European Union allows them, US allows them, Canada allows them, and on and on.

    Nay for me personally but only because in recent years, if I consume more than a single serving (8 oz) or so, I get a headache that feels like motion sickness. I used to drink crystal light all the time in my 20s but for some reason, I just can't anymore (I think it's the artificial sweetener since I can't drink diet soda anymore either). I miss the pink lemonade. C'est la vie.

    throw in lemon slices, but you can put all kinds of fruit in it, without all the calories, and even cucumber and mint is good in it.

    ^^ this. I love the taste of plain water but if you need some flavor, your better off naturally flavoring your water with any fruits that you like. Those drink additives are just chemicals.

    Those natural flavors are also chemicals.
