I used to drink Cyrstal light a long time back but have now forgotten what flavors I fell in love with:sad: It was one or two in particular.

Which ones do you like and why? I mean such as it tastes light and refreshing or it's the flavor that you enjoy about it...ya know that sort of thing. I think I might have had rasberry and liked that. By now though there's probably many many many more flavors than when I tried it years back.

Also I've heard some say they prefer off brand to name brand (flavor wise), like Walmart vs. name brand, do you have a preference?

Thanks for the input!

    I don't like Crystal Light. It tastes watered down to me. However, Market Pantry at Target has a drink mix similar to CL and it tastes great and not watery. My favorite is cranberry pomegranate and the peach tea.

    Raspberry Lemonade! Yummy! I love it because it doesn't have that yucky aftertaste that some of the other ones have. My fiancee and son drink it also. They think it's lemonade and I wont tell them any different! That way they can drink more water and less sugary stuff :bigsmile:

    I like the Peach Tea because it's very flavorful. My favorite right now is the Raspberry Green Tea. It's has a very light, refreshing flavor. The Grape is also good...takes me back to my childhood days when Mom made me Grape Kool-Aid. My other favorite is the Strawberry Energy drink in the individual packets. I like to keep those at work for an afternoon pick-me-up. And, the Raspberry Peach is pretty good, too. I have tried both Walmart and Meijer brands and have found they are comparable. And, I agree with TruSunshine, the lemonade's are good and you wouldn't know the difference if no one told you.

    Oh, the grape does sound good for that very reason! Mm Rasberry Green Tea, interesting. Looking forward to trying various ones out.

    Thanks!

    I also like Rasperry Lemonade!!!!! YUM!

    PS I don't distinguish between brands (CL vs WM VS Taget...) They all taste good to me. :)

    Raspberry Ice is my fave CL. I :heart: Great Value Grape. I like a peach tea, I think it was also a GV.. Hawaiian Punch to go are my new ones I've tried, which aren't much different in taste from regular HP, just in smaller calories, etc. The orange is pretty kick *kitten* though :laugh:

    Iced tea with lemon... I am absolutely addicted to it!! It's how I get 10-15 cups of water per day... I also like the Wal-mart (Great Value) raspberry ice, fruit punch, pink lemonade, grape, and cherry... :happy:

    Another vote for Cherry Pomegranate.

    Walmart carries a brand that costs less than Crystal light. The Cherry Limeade is amazing!

    I love the Wild Strawberry Energy and Fruit Punch. I drink a packet everyday. It's hard to find the Wild Strawberry though.

    I know it's the 4th of July and all but on a cold day I like to drink the CL Tea-blends hot. Just add a single package to a large (and I mean
    large) mug of boiling water... yummy as a dessert....

    Has anyone tried the new energy Crystal Lights? They apparently don't have artificial sweeteners in them.

    I imagine that's how I'll fix mine as well, just a taste of it in my water will be a nice change:drinker: I'm excited though they all sound so good I have no clue what I'll try first. :ohwell: :tongue: They need a mixed multi-pack or do any of the brands sell something like that? Just to try a variety?

    Thanks to everyone for adding their favs, I knew I'd get the faithful Crystal Light Gang to help me out:wink::flowerforyou:
