re: Yay for mio & other drink enhancers!

Quoting ¡Haute!:" Just toss some fresh fruits, mint, or fresh sliced cucumbers in with your water. It works!"

I didn't think about that..lol. I'll have to do that too!

Quoting GrumpsMama.:" ahh, fake sugar. Artificial sugar is worse for you then soda & juice. "

 

aspartame is terrrrible for you.
my mom drank diet coke while she was pregnant with me (people didn't really know back then '85-'86 is when she was pregnant with me) and i was born with epilepsy. the aspartame in the diet coke is the absolute only thing they can link to it. i had grand mal seizures starting at 3 weeks old.

Quoting Kimber's Mommy:" that's how you make southern sweet tea."

Bull smurf. My granddaddy never put a lb of sugar in with a gallon of sweet tea. That is just redic.

Quoting Rette Mich:" This! Those Mio things and others like Crystal light stuff are horrible for you. You're better off putting straight sugar in the water  "

I heard about the mio things being bad for you, but the strawberry watermelon one is sooo good.

And, I'm a delivery driver, and always on the go, so if I want a quick way to flavor my water, mio is quicker.

I'm still going to try to drink mostly regular water, though.
I can't drink Mio water too much.

I think my mom only puts 1-2 cups of sugar per gallon...and that smurf is SWEET. I can't drink it. I feel like I'm just drinking sugar water.

No I drink tea..with just a tiny hint of sugar.

oh jesus christ, i'm sorry. smurf me, i need to get more sleep. i misread it. my eyes were translating it into cups, not pounds. UGH! yes, i think it's a cup or two per gallon for sweet tea here.
i don't make it. SO makes it... that smurf is too sweet for me, though. i water it down by putting a bunch of ice cubes in it.

2 cups is a close equivalent to a pound. Some people really do put that much in. Least they do where I work. I always have to cut it.

yea we usually do 1 1/2 cups if we want sweet tea but yea mcD's is literally a POUND per Gallon.
