I love this flavor. I am currently deployed in Iraq and brought a supply of the "on the go" packets with me. It makes even the hot water we get in the desert drinkable.

I love these fruit punch packets. I have a sweet tooth, and I also love to cram food in my mouth in the evening when I sit down to read a book. I seem to have a need to read while I'm eating, and also a need to eat when I'm reading, even if I'm not hungry. Since I *love* to read, reading can put me in danger of destroying my waistline. So, I mix a packet of fruit punch into a tall glass of cold water, stir well, then add ice and a sipping straw. Very sweet and satisfying, and I don't notice an artificial sweetener taste at all. I'll easily drink 3 of these a night, and it keeps me from eating junk food while I read.

My dentist told me to stop sipping carbonated diet soda all day because the carbonation was hard on my teeth (who knew?), so I've switched to drink mixes. I use this, frequently mixed with the pomegranate variety in a large jug, and I'm good to go. I also frequently mix one of these with the new K2O pink lemonade with protein & fiber since weight loss is always an issue, and this definitely perks up the somewhat bland pink lemonade. I'm on subscribe & save which makes this a real bargain.

This is the flavor of Crystal Light that I loved as a kid, now available in small single serve packages. The only difference is that I now use one packet to flavor TWO 16.9 oz bottles because the flavor is quite potent. I carry bottled water with me everywhere, so this is a nice change of pace. It quenches thirst better and is an improvment over soda, though after paying for bottled water and the Crystal Light, it's about the same price, if not a little more expensive. I'm giving this 5 stars because Fruit Punch is my favorite flavor of all the brands and flavors of single-serves that I've tried, however it really is too sweet for a single serving unless you're craving Kool-Aid level sweetness.

Let me start off my saying that I'm a guy and I saw my wife drinking this stuff. She also "loved" the vitamin water zero which when I tried it thought that it tasted basically like TheraFlu so I was skeptical in this. I'm a skeptic no more. It's got a great taste and I don't taste any of that nasty artificial sweetner after taste. Not sure how they do it but I have to say this stuff for having under 10 calories is amazing!

I, at least used to, hate Crystal Light. I always found the aspartame to be a little too heavy, and after drinking a Light mix I'd get a sort of irritation that felt like I had a sinus condition. Whatever that issue was, I don't have it at all with this drink mix. I'm not sure if that has to due with a perfected recipe or a change in my body's chemistry, but either way I'm happy to enjoy this mix.

So what do you get? At the time of writing, this product was being sold with 10 packets at a relative cost of under a dollar per packet. Considering the quality of the product, that's a good deal. Pop a packet a day to mix up your drinking water, and one box can last two work weeks. Not bad. To note, this is the sort of packet that flavors one roughly twenty-ounce bottle of water at a time, instead of the larger variety that might do a whole pitcher at a time.

The flavor is, to me, Kool-Aid Fruit Punch. This is a high praise, as I remember Kool-Aid's fruit punch flavor fondly from my childhood. Of course we're trading sugar for aspartame, so there is a difference in the final effect, but the flavor is there. And the aspartame isn't bad. This tastes like a light fruit punch, it does not taste overly much of artificial sweetener. There's never any grittiness, nor does the flavor linger for too long as a sugary drink might.

The packet also mixes very well. Drop the contents into a covered cup or bottle of water, and I'd reccomend shaking but it doesn't take too much work to stir. Not once has the mix formed any undissolved chunks or required excessive shaking or stirring in my experience, while I have sometimes seen this with off-brands.

So it's a high-quality, tasty drink mix. I couldn't ask for more.

This is a great product and is very convenient for those health conscious - or newly health conscious - looking to improve their water intake.

I Hate to drink just plain water, and it was becoming a real dehydration problem for me. I decided to try Crystal Light because it was low-calorie and came in many flavors. I have tried many flavors and Fruit Punch is the only one I can stand. I love the "on the go" packets so I can just pop it into my water bottle at work. I do however water it down a little, since I find it very strong for me.

I drink this all the time - love it, also mixes well for an 'adult' low cal beverage. The only one I keep ordering again and again.

I love Crystal Light and this would have to be my favourite flavour, along with the grape. I'm so glad to be able to buy this from Amazon and have it sent to Australia because I can't get it in Oz.
