My question is......do they leave you enough space at the top to mix it in, or do you dump water out? Do you ened up needing 1 1/2 or 2 packets instead of just one?
It's according to the mix, but I'm more likely just to use a quarter of a packet, and yes, I either dump a little water out or drink a little before I add it so it will mix. My tolerance is way low for sweet stuff, though. I just have to change the chemical make-up of the water enough to get it past Matilda... who is quite picky about that.
