    I haven't tried it because I don't like food coloring. It just looks like squirting a big bunch of chemicals into water to me. Ick. To be fair, I also don't like kool-aid, fruit punch, flavored waters, or any of that. I'm hooked right now on the Crystal Light Natural Lemonade, but it would probably be better if I just drank water or water with lemon. Sorry, I'm no fun.

    It isn't great... you have to add a whole lot to get any good amount of flavor but who knows what you're really putting in your water.

    I dont like fruit punch or flavored water or really much of anything that I can taste an after taste in but I tried the fruit punch flavored MiO today and it wasnt too bad... I just dont think I would actually buy it.

    they have a sweet tea flavor? ...ew..nothing taste like sweet tea besides sweet tea!

    It contains propylene glycol, which is also used in the manufacturing of coolants and antifreeze. Sounds like bad news to me!

    It's not bad and there is nothing in it but flavor so it is an easy way to get in your water without adding anything you don't want. I prefer the peach tea but its not my first choice. My kids love it and that helps to get them to drink water. My personal favorite is Crystal Light Peach Tea. It only has 5 calories per packet for a 16.9 oz water bottle but nothing else.

    My little brother loves them.. He's been drinking more water (for once) because he'll add MiO. I've tried all the flavors he's had but I haven't liked any of them. I'll stick with just water, thanks. lol

    I'll have to remember that, maybe it'll keep me from getting too cold this winter.

    haha! i like this comment.

    I also agree with the others in the fact that I don't like eating/drinking things with food coloring. I'll stick to propel zero for my flavored water of choice.

    I like it. I only use it when i just get tired of drinking a ton of plain water(as yummy as it is). Some flavors are just "eh" to me, but I like the sweet tea flavor mixed with a little lemon juice, and the berry pomegranate flavor. II only like the fruit punch if mixed with the berry, and the rest just kinda... : /
