My daughter and I are in love with the great value tropical mango punch. I don't normally like sugar free drink but these are amazing. For so reasons the colder it gets the better it taste.
I’ve been drinking a lot of these drink mixes for a while now, I really like the key lime hydration one I mix it in a 16 oz bottle of water. It reminds me of a margarita or something. I like the salty lime flavor a lot. Great videos guys!
0.5 liter would be about 16 or 17 ounces. So it should have gone into a bottle the size of the others you used. The larger size of the packet would make me think it would make more just as you did. Guess the packet was bigger to hold the hydrating additives.
I drink these enhancers but different flavors but now I’ll try a few new ones from today. Thanks for a fun, fun review and to Dennis for sending them to you, thanks Dennis. All you need is some of the chips and pitas from yesterday and enjoy a great and yummy day.
when I was growing up my mother would buy the powder drink mix in the Tang and back then they would have three different flavors of Tang 🍊 🍒 and 🍇 and we also had the Frozen concentrated Welches drinks in the can
I think because the liquid ones are so concentrated in flavor and have less of the stabilizers and thickeners that the powders have, it's lower in calories in general. The powders have thickener to make it a sweetened powder consistency that increases the calories. The powders usually have a couple extra carbs too.
I loved most of the great value tropical line except the limeade. Like the both of you said I wanted more of a stronger lime flavor. I just recently had the Skittles punches. I found the tropical punch & mixed berry punch to be absolutely delicious. I wasn't crazy about the original punch, I wanted more of a real fruit punch flavor. There are far better fruit punch flavor enhancers on the market. I tend to do powder mixes more than the liquid. It's hard to estimate how much to squeeze in. So if I buy the liquid I try to be gentle with my squeezes.
Crystal Light has huge flavored powderd drink pouches that say there Sugar Free but when you add too much of them to a big drink pitcher the sweet flavor is so Overpowering and strong that it really needs to be Watered down!
I Heard that they have a 12 pack box of those Skittles Singles So just in case you don't like them very much You won't have too many of them around to finish off
I prefer the liquid since it mixes easier, but oh god it does stain. I remember sending you a picture of the tropical punch skittles mix which I've been finding at Dollar Tree... I hope mine gets the original since it sounds really good!! I personally liked the tropical one though.
I havent drank those for a long time now. Right now I'm drinking Zero Sugar Mountain Dew Spark (Raspberry Lemonade) and I have a handful of "water enhancers" that I mix with whatever soda I'm drinking...whatever I drink its a must that tts carbonated. I also cant just drink plain water.
I remember when Aquafina had a line called Aquafina Essentials "Enhanced Water" back around 2002ish. Watermelon was my absolute favorite. They were not carbonated. They tasted so refreshing. It was a very mild taste without being overly sweet, with no aftertaste or sucrose flavor. I could chug them down until I was almost sick lol.
The only drink packets I really like are the Great Value Watermelon Limeade. I am not big on lime, but these have a good flavor. Typically those big packets are for 2 quarts.
Tami and Kevin, I know it seems strange but the 9g Hydration ones actually do go in the 16.9 oz bottles. I'd love for you to try them again and let me know how you liked them in the 16.9 oz bottles.
From what I remember, everyone here had oj concentrates as a kid. Unless you bought real orange juice… I think our milk man sold it to us. But then they started marketing those premixed concentrate drinks we often see in the store today, and they stuck.

I make blueberry lime aid my mixing liquid flavor from King Soopers

Try the cherry 🍒 7UP On The Go Drinks
My favorite is limeade 🍋
I'm glad you enjoy it :)
Yes to any of these 😂
The Skittles one sounds good. I like the Original box of mixed flavors
We do too!

I am very board with plain water I may have to try these. Skittles does sound the best. Thank you for reviewing these
We still drink the red box Skittles exclusively.
Just tried the original punch and I really liked it. Think this is my new favorite.
We still drink the original red box daily!
I like adding flavours to sparkling water, tricks my brain into thinking I’m having a full calorie carbonated drink. Thanks for the review.
Yes!

These look good! I usually just drink plain water but these ill have to try!! Water is the best thirst quencher! 😊👍
Where can you find that blue box in a store?
📦 🤔 👀 💙 😐 😳

It was much cheaper that way and there was lots of flavors of frozen juice to buy .

In absolute love with the Skittles Tropical Punch. It's like drinking liquified candy. Now, I just have to try the others!❤️
I like them
I had to think… I don’t think I’ve ever mixed my skittles flavors either.
Tami… great value makes liquid enhancers without dyes… they taste the same… at least I think so… interesting idea for blind taste test???

I think these days, people prefer something that is ready to be served and in its own container. This way, you no longer has a pitcher to clean.
