I drink water every day at work throughout the day to avoid carbonated sodas or the tempting coffee frap at the cafeteria. For me, I need a flavor in the water to keep drinking all day long. Of course i don't want anything sugary b/c that defeats the purpose. Ive tried every liquid drop and flavor packet out there and so far the good old fashioned crystal lite tastes the best to me. I do not like super sweet flavors so I stick w/the classic lemonade. Crystal lite used to have margarita and mojito flavors which were fun. They must have stopped making them b/c I can't find them anywhere or online. I found this one while trying to find the crystal lite ones on amazon. I saw the amount when i checked out but you really get a LOT of boxes for the price and each box has several packets to mix w/the water. very convenient to grab and go. Easy to open and add to water. The flavor itself is actually very good. no odd after taste. Def not too sweet which is good. It could in fact use a tad bit more flavor actually which is why it got only 4 stars. am sure its hard to get that perfect balance. I tried just adding a bit less water to make it a bit more concentrated but that did not really help. it could use just a tad more "lime" taste. but still fun and i alternate between that and my lemonade each day so that i don't get too bored.
**one thing to mention: the prior crystal lite margarita packets were def more flavorful and IF someone wanted, could in fact mix w/water, add a little tequila, maybe a little triple sec and have a margarita much lower in calories than most mixes. could blend w/ ice or serve on the rocks. Most pre made margarita mixes out there are not that great anyway as many are harsh on the stomach or sickly sweet. These packets, however, I don't see that happening as they are too mild in flavor for that to work. Granted, they do not advertise as a mix to add alcohol, this is meant just to flavor your water. Just pointing out that w/the crystal lite margarita ones, the added bonus was that you could in fact add some alcohol for a simple low calorie option*
