Jantics

When I was in my early 20′s I liked raspberry flavored Crystal Light.
Then I decided nutrasweet is a disgusting chemical I didn’t want anywhere near my body.
Then I drank a lot of regular soda and gained more weight than I care to admit.
Now I’m searching for lower calorie beverages that don’t taste like crap.
It’s harder than you might think.
Recently I noticed that Crystal Light makes these cute little individual-size packets you mix with a 16.9 oz bottle of water.  They come in some tasty sounding flavors, like cherry pomegranate, honey lemon green tea, and blueberry white tea.
I bought all three and tried them.
The blueberry is ok.  So’s the cherry, I guess.  I didn’t really care for the honey lemon, but I don’t want to waste it so I’ll probably finish it anyway.
I’m thinking maybe  I’ll take a couple packets to ABC group on  Tuesday, so I can have something to mix in with my glass of ice water.
It still tastes like artificially sweetened chemicals, which is exactly what it is.
Splenda tastes artificial to me also, even though they claim it tastes like sugar “because it’s made from sugar.”  Bah.  Don’t believe it.
