So, instead I will buy plain bottled water, which is much cheaper than the flavored ones and use up my drink mixes. 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.

Joey never tolerated plain old water neither......but I just never even tried again. I guess I like my teas and what not and haven't bothered. I usually only crave plain water after lots of salty munchies (which I try to abstain) or from extremely hot weather, which Ohio seems tonot be producing too much this year (today's high is maybe 70). Thanks for the advice. I can probably use just one packet in a 16 or 20 oz. I dilute my regular crystal lite with ice all the time.
