These cinnamon rolls have power behind them – real power. You could pretty much get anything you wanted if you showed up toting a plate of these babies, warm with icing oozing down the side. …

Pledge To Drink More Water With Me For A Chance At $500 from Crystal Light!

Submitted by Christy Jordan on Tuesday, August 11, 2009539 Comments

crystal-light-033

Life isn’t slowing down for anyone. My own life seems to have the fast forward button permanently pushed in and with trying to keep up with work, my house, and the ever blossoming social life of my kids, most mornings it seems like my day has started without me and I have to hit the ground running just to avoid being left in the dust.

Since we can’t slow our lives down (I’m gonna assume you have all tried just as I have!), our other option is to try to be in our best form. One of the key ways to do this is also one that is so simple it is often completely overlooked – especially by folks like me who have a habit of grabbing a drink from the fridge and paying little attention to how many tin cans pass through my hands during the course of the day. Ready for it?

Drink

More

Water.

Seriously, it can be that easy. Need more motivation? These figures made me really sit back and think:

50-75% of our bodies are made up of water

Blood is 95% water

Skin is 70% water

Our brain is made up of 75-80% water

(THAT’S where all my brain cells have been going, they’ve been dying of thirst!)

~blinks and picks her jaw up off the floor~

Wow. Please hold while I go drink a glass and issue a formal apology to my body…

Did you also know that being dehydrated (which I can pretty much guarantee I am right now) can cause joint pain, lethargy, and irritability? Drinking enough water can help eliminate all of these problems and add more benefits such as improved concentration, too! It’s simple really, our bodies function on water, rely on water, and when we don’t give them enough water we can hit some substantial ruts.

So why don’t we drink enough water? Well I have one complaint about water. It tastes like…umm…water. Seriously. Can you get more blah?

This is where Crystal Light comes in. ~smiles brightly~

I’ve been a Crystal Light drinker ever since it first came out. That was back when Linda Evans did the commercials (We followed Dynasty, too). Honestly, Crystal Light is about the only time I do drink water, but I still haven’t been drinking enough – not by a long shot. Did you know, though, that people who drink Crystal Light ended up drinking an average of 20% more water than folks who just drank their water plain?

At this point in my life, I could use a little high performance and I think drinking more water might be just the boost I need to help me accomplish my goal of feeding the world homemade banana pudding.

So for the next week, here’s the drill

crystal-light-028

Water…

crystal-light-031

Dump…

crystal-light-033

Stir…

crystal-light-058

Enjoy.

    I’ve been drinking more water all Summer now…had to give up the bad old diet sodas!!

  • Michele Talley says:

    Christy,

    Your post made me very thirsty. Now that I have my water, I can respond! I love Crystal light as do my girls. We will gladly join you in drinking more – especially when Jenny at Southern Savers helps us buy it cheap!!!

    Blessings!

  • Janet says:

    I just recently had surgery and was told to drink alot of water so pledge to drink more now with the crystal light for flavor.

  • Pat Campbell says:

    I pledge to drink more, I have Crystal Light lemonade in the fridge right now chilling! Yummy! I take the single serve packets with me and have the lemonade with a glass of water at resturants. It is so refreshing!

  • Eileen Turnowski says:

    I pledge to drink more water and crystal light will be on my grocery list. I am going to make some of that “Southernplate strawberryade”! That will make the water go down smoothly.

  • Beth says:

    I too pledge to drink more water, and Crystal Light will help me make that happen!

  • sally says:

    we always have Crystal Light with our water

  • ChristieC says:

    I pledge to drink more water especially at work….we love lemonade Crystal Light and drink it at home alot.

  • Sue says:

    It is always a joy to reach for Crystal Light. It will be hard to drink more water than I already do, but I give it a try with more Crystal light.

  • Crystal says:

    i never drink water b/c it is just so…yuck! LOL i will definitely try some crystal light to see if that will help with the taste. :)

  • kathy davis says:

    i need to drink more water and there’s no better way to do it tan with a little flavor.bye bye soft drinks hello crystal light.

  • Tammy says:

    First of all – thank you for sharing all of your talents. My family and friends are loving all the new recipes.

    I started drinking water pretty regular several years ago because I was “cheap” and didn’t want to buy any drinks at restaurants. But many days it is so hard to resist all the drinks out there. But Crystal Light definitely helps me drink more water. I love the Strawberry-Kiwi.

    I pledge to drink more water and give the love of water to my 3 year old.

  • Shirley Harris says:

    Hey I drink Crystal Light all the time. Great Stuff.
    I pledge to drink even more water. I like the Crystal Light tea.

  • Sherry says:

    I pledge to drink more water, and try to get my kids involved also.

  • Sharon Morrison says:

    Drinking more water with Crystal Light just might mean I’ll be eating less! Sounds like a plan to me.

  • Sandra C in Moulton, AL says:

    I grew up on sulfer water. But I loved it. I’ve had a hard time drinking water until I got my fridge with crushed ice and water on the front. I keep a large Auburn cup filled with ice beside my bed and a cup of ice water. My Crystal Light has kept me going especially before I started on my water. Tea and Pink Lemonade are my favorites.

  • David says:

    Umm this pledge is going to be one that is hard to swallow… lololol… just that for years doctors and family alike have told me I should drink alot more water and give up my sweet tea. But goodness I have not found a sugar substitute that I like, but yes I admit I haven’t tried that hard either. I can drink bottled water and even don’t mind refilling the store bought water bottles and reusing them and the water doesn’t really taste different to me as long as it is cold, tap water for only emergencies. So I will make the pledge now to try to drink more water… toast to our health and thirst!!

  • Maxine says:

    I am miserable if I don’t drink my water, but I get so bored with plain water. If I don’t have my Crystal Light, I can’t get it down. By keeping Crystal Light handy, I drink at least 4 24 oz. bottles a day. I love it and admit that I can’t do it if I don’t have my Crystal Light.

  • Becky says:

    Yum! I LOVE water. It’s my absolute favorite. We must have done something right, because even my 6 kids say water is their favorite drink! Amazing.

  • Nichole says:

    I love Crystal Light! I got hooked after having my tonsils removed in January. I had to drink lots of water, and the flavor made it much easier. I’m currently hooked on Peach Mango Green Tea. I’ve got my kids hooked on CL too, and it’s not easy to get kids addicted to water. The Pink Lemonade sure helped my cause!

  • Robin says:

    I love the taste of water and it’s my drink of preference. However, I do not drink as much of it as I should. Perhaps it’s the laziness in me (having to get up off my keister to put more water in my cup!) but I will pledge to drink more water. I’ll even buy a bigger cup for less trips!

  • Bruce says:

    I will start drinking more water daily and will try Crstal Light to add to it.

  • Angela S says:

    I drink at least 2 liters of water a day while at work. I drink Crystal Light faithfully at home. Lemonade and Pink Grapefruit mixed together is so yummy.

  • Charlene says:

    I LOVE Crystal Light – but I like the individual tubes for a bottle of water. That way I can vary the flavors each time I drink!! I have found this really DOES make me drink more water…….

  • Doris says:

    Water – who knew?
    Crystal Light Ice Tea will definitely be my beverage from now on!

  • Nikki says:

    I used to drink the all natural crystal light lemonade but then one day they changed the ingredients and added aspartame to sweeten it a little bit. Which is soooooo bad for your brain and for women who take birth control. So, keep in mind how much crystal light you are drinking and only do it in moderation.

  • HEATHER says:

    I will take the challenge! I usually drink more water than anything else, but for some reason over the last month or so, I have been craving Diet Dr. Pepper, and well, my water intake has taken a nosedive! I can tell the difference just in how I feel (and the fact that my pants are a wee bit tighter these days!) I just recently purchased a can of Crystal Light Pink Lemonade. I will go home and make it tonight!

    Thanks Christy for your site! I love it!

  • Whitney says:

    I drink water all throughout the day. I love to put a little pep in my step by adding a Crystal Light packet to my water bottle.

  • Jan Alexander says:

    I pledge to drink more water for a week. Water is my favorite drink anyway, but I don’t always drink enough. This will help me to drink what I’m supposed to drink.

  • Julie Middleton says:

    Another great benefit to drinking water is that it tends to make you feel full thus cutting down on snacking. My best friend and I were talking this morning about how easily we are gaining weight now that we are in our 40’s (okay, mid 40’s) then I opened this post. I am pledging to drink more water for at least the 30 days and see if that doesn’t cut down on some of the snacking I do while sitting at my desk and I will ask her to join me in this pledge. I keep crystal light packets for water bottles in my cupboard all the time. I just forget to use them.

  • hlalle says:

    I pledge to drink more water. Crystal Light is so good. We mix the fruit punch and orange with one part water. Good stuff!

  • Anne Jones says:

    I will certainly take the challenge to drink more water! I really try to drink it more but sometimes, it is just hard to get as much water down every day that I should. Crystal Light taste so good that I can mix it in a bottle of water and have it down in no time. Another favorite thing to do is to mix Crystal Light Lemonade mix with cottage cheese… OMG… it taste like lemon pudding or pie. I love it! All of Crystal Light flavors are wonderful… Peach Tea is to die for too! Thanks so much for a wonderful product!

  • I do pledge to drink more water! I try to drink at least 3 or 4 glasses (30 oz) of water a day. Usually before I eat, because it makes me feel full and I don’t eat more. Also, drinking water will cleanse your system out. (At least the bladder!) LOL!
    I have not tried Crystal Light, but, after reading this, I am going to try!

  • Dana Sieben says:

    You know, sometimes you sound just like me. Or should I say I sound like you? LOL I don’t drink enough water either unless I am outside and dying of thirst. But, we don’t realise that our bodies crave it indoors either. You can think you are hungry and get a snack, but it’s really your body saying it’s thirsty.

    So, lately I have been using the peach tea Crystal Light packets for water bottles and I love it! I will pledge to drink at least two – three bottles of Crystal Light a day for a month and see how my body feels.

    Great idea!

  • jan says:

    I love crystal light and it is the only reason I drink water.

  • Sue C says:

    HiChristy

    We use Crystal Light all the time.
    We like to use the single serve packs in our bottled water
    (reusable containers that I can refill from my tap & play in fridge). I like all their flavors but I guess I would have to say that the Strawberry-Kiwi is my favorite. I even take one of these to a restaurant with me when we go out to eat, even fast food places. And I ask for water and dump one of these in it.
    I have had several people ask me what I was drinking and I always say “Crystal Light” mix. And I have never had a restaurant complain about this.
    Love you
    Suuze

  • Terrie Lovell says:

    It’s funny how much easier it is to get water down when it has your favorite Crystal Light flavor mixed in.

  • Janie says:

    Lemon Lime Rocks! It’s the only way I can get all the water I’m supposed to drink.

  • Kathy says:

    Crystal Light is a staple in our house and has been for years. It is my main source of water. Don’t know how I’d survive without it.

  • JT Wright says:

    I pledge to drink more water. I love Crystal Light Pink Lemonade in the on the go packets!

  • Lisa says:

    There are some days when just plain water won’t do and Crystal Light makes it taste much better!

  • Mary Anne says:

    I have never used Crystal Light, but I do drink lots of water. The strawberry drink looks so good and refreshing, that I MUST try it. This will especially be good for me since I am a diabetic. Can’t wait to get some.

  • Trixie says:

    I love Crystal Light. I guess I drink a half gallon a day. More if I am outside. I love it. So I will pledge to drink more.
    Good idea when they came up with the small packets. So from pantry to purse.

  • Rita Swindle says:

    I love Crystal Light so much that I buy the singles and add to my bottled water, plus keep plenty in the frig for everyone..

  • Ginger says:

    I love Crystal Light! My favorite is Orange Sunrise.
    I am pledging to join you in drinking more Crystal Light water!

  • julie eulinger says:

    I pledge to drink more I like on the go crystal light be cause I am on the go Favriote is red tea natural mandrain

  • SALLY PATTERSON says:

    IM 72 AND I DEFINITLY NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER SO IM GOING TO TRY YOUR CRYSTAL LIGHT. THANK YOU SALLY PATTERSON

  • Rachel Parton says:

    I pledge to drink more water!!!!

  • gmc says:

    I’ll pledge to drink more water

  • Katie says:

    I have always liked drinking water, but adding a special flavoring like Crystal Light sure perks up the efforts! Please count me in!

  • Carol says:

    Crystal Light makes water easier to drink…gotta get those 8 glasses in somehow!!! I pledge to keep it up and drink Crystal Light :)

  • Karan C says:

    I drink Crystal Light in my water at work. Working in the summer our commercial kitchen can reach 100 degrees or more. 4 comercial ovens, an 8 burner stove, along with a steamer can really dehydrate you fast and water is the only thing that will satisfy the thirst.

    I will pledge to drink even more with you.

  • Jeanne Thompson says:

    I try to drink plenty of water but Crystal Light makes it much easier.

  • Kira says:

    I WILL drink more water, but with Crystal Light only as I cannot stand it plain!

  • Lisa Knutz says:

    I use Crystal light as a cocktail mix (the Strawberry is great with vodka) as it’s fat free, sugar free and tastes great!

  • Hattie says:

    I must say I just loove Southern Plate and I just loove Crystal Light!
    Thanks for the chance to win.

  • Allen says:

    I’ll drink more water!

    Hey I have a CL recipe for you.

    I make lemonade constantly. My family enjoys it and we are trying to cut out sodas.

    My easy lemonade
    1/2 gallon of water
    1 lemon
    1 “tub” of Crystal Light Lemonade (or Pink Lemonade)
    tablespoon sugar (for a little sweetness)

    Slice the lemon thinly and squeeze each slice into the water to get the juice and oils in the water. Add CL and Sugar. Its better atfer it sits in the fridge preferably overnight. My family has no idea I make my lemonade using crystal light. Its great stuff. When we go to the lakehouse for the weekend 5 of us drink 2 gallons. This recipe doubles ot triples very easily. ENJOY!

  • Verena says:

    Christy,
    I haven´t had Crystal yet, but it sure looks so beautiful and tasty that I could finish a giant gulp right now! Let´s drink more water and if you´re lucky enough to have Crystal around mix up baby!
    Cheers!

  • Barbara says:

    Hey Water Drinkers,

    I pledge to drink more water – Crystal Lite for better health. I really like to add a “tub” of any flavor to my Ice Tea ….. Just can’t beat it. Thanks for a chance to win and all the great ideas!!

  • Janet says:

    I really enjoy your website… Sure, I’ll drink more water.

  • Diane says:

    I have no problem drinking enough water during the day. I have a big cup that I fill up first thing in the morning. I can’t go to the restroom until it’s empty. And when I go, I have to fill up the cup. It’s a never ending cycle!

  • Candis says:

    I love to drink water but sometimes get too busy and forget. Thanks for the reminder.

  • Belinda Stubbs says:

    Water is something that I have a real problem with! After reading your post this week…I decided to go the store and buy some Crystal Light and give it a try. I decided to mix it in a very pretty pitcher the way you did. Today was my grass cutting day and so I mixed it up, and went outside…I found myself coming back in to drink the crystal light because it was so good! I always drink diet coke while I am cutting grass and I know that isn’t good for me. Needless to say my grass cutting went so much quicker because I was well hydrated all of because of Crystal Light! Thanks so much Christy for the heads up on Crystal Light…I love it! So yes I pledge to drink Crystal Light every day!

  • tamara says:

    Wow that will buy a lot of crystal light. I wonder how many days worth of water that is? I have been workin on drinkin more water for the past 2 weeks, that sure would help.

  • Maggie says:

    I AM TRYING TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT AND CRYSTAL LIGHT HAS HELPED ME TO GET MORE WATER DOWN. SOMETIMES I NEED SOME FLAVOR. I PLEDGE TO DRINK MORE WATER

  • Kathy Woods says:

    I have always been a diet drink person. Doesn’t matter what kind. I am old enough to remember and drank Fresca (I know this is a really big confession!). Crystal Light is always in my pantry and I love trying the new flavors as they show up on the grocery shelves. I will give up my diet cokes (we know all drinks in a can are “cokes”) this week and will drink Crystal Light only!! This means bringing my pitcher to work..you know I’m serious now!

  • Rhonda says:

    Hey maybe that is why I think at times that my brain has left me, I’m not drinking enough water!! I’ll be drinking more water!! Crystal light sounds very good and refreshing, I’ll have to try it.

  • Karen says:

    I, too pledge to drink more water, and use Crystal Light as a boost. I know it would be better for me than the diet cola and iced tea (but what can I say, I’m a southern girl and won’t be able to eliminate iced tea from my diet altogether)! I enjoy your blog and have “spread the word” whenever I have an opportunity. I especially enjoy hearing about your family/traditions; keep up the great work!

  • Jennifer says:

    I will drink more water and try crystal light.

  • Carolyn Moon says:

    Thanks for the bump. I’ll drink more water as we all should.

  • Melanie Roberts says:

    I love water and have been drinking the on the go Crystal Light for years… I pledge with you to drink even more and to keep you motivated and going… *you can do it, we can do it*…

  • Laurie says:

    My husband and I started exercising and trying to get in better shape about a year ago. We (especially HE) have been drinking more water, but there is always room for improvement. My job is pretty stressful and when I get home my REAL job begins. Your post reminded me of all the benefits of water that I already know…I just need to apply the idea now. I’m going to start drinking more water…and hopefully will be able to buy A LOT of Crystal Light with the Visa :)

  • Jonelle says:

    I need to drink more water also! Love the Crystal Light Peach Tea (my favorite)!

  • Ruth says:

    Crystal Light is an excellent way to incorporate more water intake into my routine. I had forgotten about it, so thanks for the reminder. Crystal Light won’t cause tooth decay like soda and juices.

  • ava says:

    I think all of us need to be reminded to drink more water from time to time

  • Me Me! I’m a Crystal Light Junkie- it’s actually the only way I can down that much water in a day. Great giveaway!

  • Kara-Noel says:

    Wow!! I love Crystal Light!! I’m a huge fan of the pink lemonade!! I pledge to drink more water AND to drink even more on days I drink coffee and the caffeine seems to suck the moisture from my body!

  • Danie says:

    Crystal Light White Grape is my krytonite! I must buy 12 boxes of that stuff a week. 2 into a liter of water makes it go quick! I’m rooting for you. Since I cut out all soft drinks, I’m down 20 lbs!

  • Lara Hensley says:

    I’ve been drinking more water for about the last 2 wks, and diet soda on occassion…I’m usually drinking 64+oz a day with Crystal Lite…my favorites are the iced tea w/Lemon & the Ruby Red Grapefuit! But there are soooo many to choose from!

    I used to have a sore hip joint, but since I’ve been drinking more water, I hardly notice it at all! I guess it’s true what I’ve heard said before, that water is to our bodies what oil is to a car!

  • Cathy says:

    I love Crystal Lite. I drink at lease 1 envelope a day.

  • MARIJO says:

    NOT A BIG FAN OF PLAIN WATER…..BUT CRYSTAL LIGHT LEMONADE MAKES ME A REAL FAN!

  • Kari says:

    I’m not a big fan of water unless it is icy cold or flavored. I definitely do drink a lot more when I make Crystal Light instead of plain water. I’ll definitely make the pledge!!

  • Denise says:

    Love your website and pledge to drink more water! I will try to resist that delish Publix’s sweet tea! Yay, water! :-/

  • Velda says:

    I love water! We drink a lot of crystal light lemonade in the summer. I’m going to try some new flavors.

  • susan says:

    i love crystal light and pledge to drink more water!

  • Karen Branscum says:

    In making my pledge to drink more water I will tell you my favorite Crystal Light flavor…Raspberry Ice…It bursts with refreshing fruity flavor. Another thought to pass along is…invest in a stainless steel drinking bottle..it keeps your beverage cold and helps our environment by creating less waste.

    Drinking plenty of water also helps keep kidney stones at bay….If you notice the southern region of the country is the kidney stone belt of the nation. Drink more water!!! Karen

  • Karen Omi says:

    Okay, If i can have it with punch flavored crystal light. I PROMISE! to drink more water. I love it with 16 ounces of water, on single pack of punch and a handful of frozen starberries in the blender. YUMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

  • Becky says:

    Loving the Crystal Light Singles this summer. I keep a couple in my purse so they are always handy. I am not totally giving up my Coke Zero, but definately working hard at cutting back and drinking more water.

  • Susan says:

    With these muggy and hot days I have to drink a lot of water or I get major headaches. I fill up a 1/2 gallon jug and drink it during the day, with Crystal Light shaken into it, lemon squeezed into it or plain. I also drink 2 or 3 glasses iced tea and I’ll bet I know where every bathroom in our town is.

  • Bonnie says:

    I pledge to drink more water….starting today. I love Crystal Light & it will make my pledge easy to do, since I’m not crazy about plain water & 6 diet drinks a day are way to much. Look at faucet…here I come.

  • Cindy Lau says:

    I pledge to drink more water, and more crystal light! My kids will too! My husband switched to crystal light from Pepsi about a month ago and has lost 25 pounds! That’s more motivation for me! Water is great for our health, and we could all use better health.

  • Leslie Corrigan says:

    I know I need to drink more water, I just have problems getting it all in. With Crystal Lite, it should be much easier. As a diabetic, the sugar free thing is great!

  • Ginny says:

    The Crystal Light To Go packages plus water bottles (preferably re-usable bottles) make for happy boaters!!!

  • Missy says:

    I drink Crystal Light everyday. I like to put the lemonade in the freezer long enough to get it slushy…yum!

  • Sue Nystrom says:

    Wow….Crystal Light is my salvation. I pledge to DRINK MORE. I am sold on Pink Lemonade but will try all the flavors!!!

    REQUEST!!! Please Crystal Light …I would love to see a SWEET TEA
    flavor. It would sell tons!!!
    Thanks for quenching my thirst daily !!!

  • Laurie says:

    Water? I love water and that is my drink of choice ever since I was a teenager. Moved from Mass to Florida and my uncle had the best well water. I keep a gallon jug in the fridge at all times. I like the Crystal Lights to go packets make flavoring up my water so dang delicious.

  • Marilyn says:

    I have been trying to drink more water, and I think taking a pledge with this great bunch of people will help motivate me! Thanks!

  • Aunt Charley says:

    My daughter-in-law brought a variety of Crystal Light on the go packages to the lake last week. She is trying to kick the soft drink habit. It reminded me how much I love those CL packages, so I decided to join her in drinking more wonderfully flavored water, too. I have lost a pound this week and that is the only change I’ve made. Go, Crystal Light!!!

  • Shawna says:

    I love Crystal Light and I love water. Nothing quenches a thirst like a big tall glass of either ice water or water with Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade. Delicious! I drink a lot of water, but pledge to drink even more!!!

  • Shannon Lindsay says:

    I love Crystal Light!! Just bought some Original Lemonade yesterday.

    So much better than the others….

    Shannon

  • Heather says:

    Yummy! I love Crystal Light & I love drinking water. I will definitely drink more…I am officially thirsty after reading this post!

  • kathy fennessey says:

    I have totally given up soda, so I drink a lot of tea and water. Some days it is hard to get the water down, so I tried Crystal Light in a 24 oz. cup and even add water to that and staying hydrated is a snap. some good coupons would be nice. I love the variety of flavors and buy a new box or two every time I hit the grocery store. I found that store brands are not as good and the money you save is not worth it.

  • Gerry says:

    Don’t know if you tried the Crystal Light bottle packets. I love them as they are so convenient to use. I keep bottles of cold water in the refrig and since I don’t always like to drink plain water, I just open a bottle size packet and empty into the bottle and off I go with a nice cold flavored drink. I do like my plain water at night for some reason and always have a thermal glass with ice next to my bed for nighttime sips.

  • Lisa says:

    i pledge to drink more water.i love crystal light lemonade!!!!

  • Linda Kay says:

    Now that school is back in- or at least for some of us- I always keep a box of the little on the go crystal lights in my desk and a bottle on my desk- I pledge to get back in the habit of drinking more water-

  • LaPaula says:

    I am making this pledge to drink more water for myself and my kids. We can all use the benefits. Thank you for the contest!

  • LB says:

    Ill do it I like Crystal Light too, and have some! Sounds like a plan! :D

  • Mom23beauties says:

    I pledge to drink more water from this point on!!! I love Crystal Light and already use it daily as I sip my water at my desk all day! Everyone needs a little H20!! :)

  • DARLENE says:

    I HATE PLAIN WATER !! BUT I JUST LOVE CRYSTAL LIGHT. I PROMISE TO DRINK MORE. HEEE HEEE THIS GIVES ME PERMISSSION TO DRINK EVEN MORE.
    THANKS CHRISTY!!

  • Carol Wolfgang says:

    I too pledge to drink more water, I love crystal lite

  • Tammy says:

    I totally pledge to drink more…crystal lite! shudders at the thought of drinking plain water!!
    :-)

  • kris says:

    I’ll join in – and I do love me some Crystal Light!

  • Barbara Maietta says:

    I’ve used Crystal Light for years to flavor my water but never the Strawberry flavor. I will now add it to my water so that I can drink more!!

  • rho says:

    How timely this is I just decided to drink more water this past week – and of course that means I use more Crystal Light since I do love it so –

    So I will also join in on your pledge to drink more water .

    Just got the Crystal Light fruit Punch and love it!! I’m going to try and drink more water.

  • Tiger says:

    I’ll drink more water. Until your reminder I had forgotten that Crystal Lite was one of my favorite drinks. I especially love their Crystal Lite To Go packets. It makes keeping this pledge so much easier when I am on the go.

  • Cindy says:

    I had a gastric bypass 2 years ago and no longer drink anything but water. Well, although I love water, sometimes I just need a flavor added to it and Crystal Light Peach Tea in the To Go packets are my treat to myself. I always keep some in my purse too.

  • Jeanne says:

    I also like the individual tubes for a bottle or glass of water to allow more variety. If I’m out at a restaurant, I’ll add a packet of Splenda to make the water taste better.

  • Francie Blakey says:

    We are finally having a string of really hot days up here in the Northeast so I need all of the water I can remember to drink. Also I always have some Crystal Light packets in my desk at work for an afternoon pick me up.

  • Christo says:

    I’ll drink more water. Love my Crystal Light – always have two gallon jugs of Crystal Light lemonade in the fridge!

  • Karen says:

    We love Crystal light. Especially the Lemonade. Other than morning coffee it’s my drink of the day. It’s also a great way to get my kids to drink more water without the struggle. It tastes good and they love picking a flavor to help make.

  • Mary says:

    I too am a diet soda fanatic. Pledging to drink more water would be a great way to cut down! Thanks for the push.

  • sue s ellsworth says:

    am learning to drink water after having to give up colas and wonderful tea – too much acid and caffine

    crystal lights certainly is a help in this effort
    keep up the good work

    i do feel better with water as my “drink of choice”

  • Sharalyn says:

    Ok, I used to be really good at drinking my water, and I have slacked off. 1 cup down so far this morning, and I *will* get my 8 glasses in today!

  • Laurie says:

    We find Crystal light to be refreshing hydration for the Dog Days of Summer! and any other time we need a water break too!

  • MelO' says:

    Crystal Light is the satisfying sweet treat while dieting that makes each of the required 64 oz of h20 somthing to look forward to!

  • Rebecca says:

    Have you ever tried to drink crystal light mixed in with tap water? It doesn’t taste that great. I went out looking for a really great water filtration device that would make drinking water have less of a metallic taste. I would suggest Bauer Energy Design’s water filtration program. Has so many unexpected health benefits and no bio film. It’s worth considering. http://waterprocessor.wordpress.com/

  • Deborah says:

    Ok! I’m in!!!!!!!

  • AmyB says:

    I have a medical condition which causes me to dehydrate quickly, coupled with a medicine for another condition to help me get rid of excess fluid, it is essential for me to drink lots of water every day. I really feel it the next day if I don’t drink enough.

    In fact, my father drinks Crystal Lite Lemonaide to prevent kidney stones!

    Well, I’m off to finish drinking my glass of Kiwi-Strawberry flavored water!
