I am so sick of drinking water. I hate it. Lately I have been drinking more diet and flavored seltzer which I don't like that I have been doing.

I bought the 0 cal Kroger Lemonade flavor enhancer and put a little in my water. Wow what a difference. It tastes like fountain lemonade. Yes probably not as great as plain water but I have already had 3 25oz glasses of ice water and I haven't even had any of my diet soda today.

    This is how I have always drank my water until recently. I love the Koolaide drops and admittedly probably use more than I should and have now started getting heart burn from them :/ I guess all the malic acid is hard on my stomach. You might want to keep an eye on that. Outside of that it's a great way to get your 8 glasses down.

    Why wouldn't it be as great as plain water?

    Because of the artificial sweetener. I know that nothing is as good as plain ol water but so boring and flavorless.

    I cant believe what a difference this liquid water enhancer has made. So much water and its like having fountain lemonade. I feel like I am cheating.

    I recently bought a Cirkul water bottle. Love it! Have flavored water everywhere I go or turn the valve and I get plain water.

    I squeeze fresh lemon or lime into my water and add some Splenda...tastes like lemonade or limeade. Plus, I get lots of vitamin C.
