Has anyone tried this? I saw a commercial for it and then I saw it at the store the next day, so I decided to try it. I like crystal light for a few different reasons. First of all, its no or low calorie, and second of all, it adds some flavor when I'm getting bored with water. However, I remember CL being about $2 for a 10-pack. But these days it's been more like $2.50 or $3 for a 6-pack?! Which is frustrating, to say the least. Sometimes I can still find the 10 packs but I mostly see 6 packs these days.
So, I decided to pick up 2 bottles of MiO at $3.50/ea. The bottle says that makes 24 servings, which is pretty decent for that price. MiO is zero calorie, and so if you want a more flavorful beverage, you can squirt however much you want in your water and not worry about calories (but of course, that would mean you get less servings out of one little bottle).
I got the Mango Peach and the Strawberry Watermelon flavors. They're yummy! I only used a little bit (1 squirt from the bottle for every 8oz) and I really like it. It mixes in with water WAY easier than Crystal Light. The flavor, when you only use a little bit, is yummy and light- it kindof reminds me of how propel or gatorade tastes.
So! I just wanted to offer some insight if anyone else was thinking about trying it. $3.50 is kinda steep but this was at the pricier market in town; I think it would be cheaper at like, wal-mart or something. Happy drinking, everyone! :)

    I bought it for 3.49 at Kroger. I like it alot, and its so simple. I use 1 good squirt in my 16.9 oz bottle of water and its perfect. I have only tried fruit punch so far. Its cheaper than crystal light and you don't have to deal with powder.

    OMG I know! That is the ONE thing I don't like about it! Sooo annoying! I wish they'd just make it natural. Sure, we wouldnt get the pretty colors but who cares? Lol

    Same price at Walmart. I got a sample bottle of MiO when it was first released (Pomegranate Berry, it was good!) and decided I liked it for the times I didn't like water but when I went to pick up a bottle at Walmart it was 3.50 which is defiantly a lot. I dunno if I'll end up getting more or not we will see, I just ran out of my sample bottle the other day.

    LOL! I'll be sure to steer clear of that one. I really like both the Mango Peach and the Strawberry Watermelon :)

    I just bought the Mango Peach and I really like it. It is more convenient than the Crystal light.

    I just picked some up last night--the Fruit Punch flavor. I really like it and have actually drank two more glasses of water with it today (trying to figure out exactly how much I like squirted in, lol).

    It's a little pricey, but am hoping they'll go on sale or something! I used a coupon from last week's paper for mine--think it was $1 off.
