I was wondering if the diet soft drink Crystal Light is anything like Kool-Aid.
I've been wanting to try it but I'm not sure of the taste. Does it taste good
or bad. I think Crystal Light is still available in stores here in Texas.

I haven't tried Crystal Light since it's introduction (yikes - almost 30 years ago now) but as I recall, Kool-Aid is more kiddy "candy" fruit flavors, whereas Crystal Light is more "adult" fruit flavors - lighter if you know what I mean.

More like cooler without the alcohol. If memory serves....(and as long as they haven't changed the formula too much).

It's sugar-free and almost calorie free. I drink it, but it's not very satisfying. It's like a diet version of Country Time Lemonade.

They've got raspberry flavor which I guess is sort of like Kool-Aid. Most of the flavors are more like lemonade.

I actually prefer Wyler's Light, I'd recommend that...flippin' good stuff.

Oh NO wonder I like Kool-Aid better - I forgot that it's a diet drink mix! (refer to thread about TAB!!) :lol:

I LOVE Crystal Light (I also love Wylers Light). My favorite thing now is the little individual packets you can pour into a bottle of water and mix your own.

i cant stand the stuff

it's nasty as hell.

Love it!! The lemonade taste better then the real stuff imo!! :jar:

isn't it weird for your name to also be a common noun?:grr:

me too i drink all the time.. i like few kind favor i love it . it good health for you .. that why i lose 12 lb already .. i am on diet.. i dont drink pop soda often . that why i almost quit .. cause i dont drink soda much cause taste like flat.. that why i dont have much sugar in my body.. plus i dont eat chococlate anymore. \

I think Crystal Light is awesome! It has a bit of an after taste, though, so if you're not used to "diet" type drinks, then it might be too much for you. I personally love it- Peach is a good one :)
