Does anyone else drink Crystal Light? When I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few years ago and the nutritionist told me that drinking a regular soda was like putting a loaded gun in my mouth, I immediately gave it up and switched to Crystal Light.
I've always hated the taste of plain water (because I was a soda-holic since I was a young child,) so when I knew I had to drink it doing Atkins I figured I'd sweeten it up a little. Here's my problem, though - I loved, loved, LOVED the Natural White Blueberry Tea. I could easily get my required water intake in as long as I had that Blueberry Tea to mix with it. But now I can't find it anywhere! I even wrote to Kraft to inquire about whether they stopped making it. (They didn't.) But I can't find it in any stores, and it's killing my water consumption. I've tried other flavors and I just don't care for them.
So now I'm drinking my water right out of the bottle, and I'm not enjoying it. I'm trying to force myself to like it, but it's hard. Meanwhile, my water consumption has decreased tremendously. (Unless you count the coffee.) Any suggestions? Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with getting some of your liquids from crystal light. I drink bottled water, crystal light, tea, etc.

I don't believe this is available in the UK, though we do have bottle water with fluid flavours which don't have sugar added to them, just a sweetener (aspartame). However, a quick search on Yahoo shows that you can buy this range on amazon.com. $22.95/box for 10 sachets. In the UK if you buy from Amazon you can get free postage if you opt for second class (slower) post. Good luck! Christine

I will have to look again... I have searched online time and time again only to find places that offer the product, but when I go to buy it, they have none. Even Amazon displays it in search results but then says, "This item is out of stock." ARGH!

The problem with these drinks is that you have to count each one as your 3 allowed sweeteners for the day. Have you tried just adding a slice of lemon into your water for natural flavoring?

Blek! I don't like lemon on anything! LOL! But thanks so much for the idea :)
