Default Crystal Light
Can anyone help me out here please??

Is Crystal light just an ordinary sugar free drink? I am looking at a UK website that sells US goodies and have seen the crystal light and know that I have seen it mentioned on here before.

Also seen Kool Aid, is that the same?

Crystal light is similar to kool aid. It is a powdered substance added to water to flavor it. Crystal light is sugar free but I belive most kool aids have sugar.

Oh yeah there are some where you have to add the sugar and there are some where it comes premixed with sugar already in it. It's been so long since I bought either one!!

Lou,

The new trend here is to sell it in these mini-packages that are the perfect size for one bottle of water. Can you get those?

I don't know if you have Wal-Mart or Target stores in England, but they sell their own brands that are very inexpensive and taste wonderful! My favorite is Peach Tea!

I just love Crystal Lite! My favorite is the regular tea flavor. The pink lemonade is also good...if you like lemonade.

The Kool-Aid isn't my cup of tea...too sweet if you add sugar and kind of bitter if you don't.

Good luck! And I agree with mike that the Wal-Mart brands are pretty similar in test...looks a little different though.

Hi Mike

They have these but only in orange flavour which I cannot stand.

We have Asda which is part of Wal-mart so I will have a look next time I shop there. Never heard of Target so presume we don't have a store.

Hi Cathy, I have ordered the lemonade so just sit back and wait for it now. They do sell an iced tea version but don't like that either, I am a fussy devil, lol
