I've been drinking a lot of this lately and recently heard that it's not good to have very much. I use the little on the go packets so I can just poor in in a bottle or over greek yogurt or something like that. What do you guys think?

    The fake sugar (sucralose) in crystal light gives me a headache. I know it affects other people the same way too.

    I can't do artificial sweetners either. I wish I could. My husband and my daughter can no problem, but me No Thank you. Sometimes I get a headache too, and I cannot stand the aftertaste.

    Crystal Light is ok, but I much rather prefer Walmart's Great Value imitation stuff. Their flavors are bettern than Crystal Light. I grew up being the "koolaid kid" with all the sugar (and more), but Walmart's stuff is AWESOME. Cherry, Fruit Punch and Grape, after you make them and put them in the fridge for a while so they are nice and cold - you cant tell its SUGAR FREE!

    **If you are a soda/pop drinker and really dont like diet soda much, give this a try:

    I like to change things up and mix this as a "punch" with diet white soda. We have several people at church that are diabetic and LOVE my punch. When we have a pot luck I'll get out the big punch bowl and mix 2 bottles of diet white soda, about a half gallon of water and 2 packages of the Great Value imitation, usually fruit punch or cherry. Mix it carefully because the drink mix and the soda like to "react" a little and fizz up.

    You can do this at home to using the "pour in" packets for your bottled water into a 20oz bottle of diet soda, again just be careful of the fizzing by drinking or pouring out about 1/4 of the bottle until well mixed then you can add it back. Your diet soda is now a Party in your mouth! It's yummy AND doesn't taste like diet anymore!
