I drink alot of water and fizzy water but sometimes you just want some flavor! When I buy lemonade mixes I usually use less water than is called for and it packs more punch. I never think to buy *pink* lemonade so thanks for the tip!

I am not sure by how much in taste but it does have have the aftertaste at all to me. They also have a good grape flavor and very inexpensive. At the Wal-marts that I can find them at, the Hawaiian punch is only $1 a box. Sat Jan 17 17:49:49 -0800 2009 4334863 92286 vttp926 2 4335473 you meant to say "no aftertaste," right vttp926? but i saw no hawaiian punch dried powder drink mix on the hawaiian punch site. is the "$1 a box" a concentrate? does it make sugar-free drink? Sat Jan 17 18:30:33 -0800 2009 4335400 105717 alkapal 3 4336743 yes i did mean to say no aftertaste. its a dried powder mix also. and it is sugar free. there are 3 flavors out there for the hawaiian punch. on the box it says sugar free hawaiian punch singles to go. i included a link i found online for the grape flavor. http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?id=prod3535816&CATID=302283&skuid=sku3534659&V=G&ec=frgl_486836&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=sku3534659 Sun Jan 18 11:52:36 -0800 2009 4335473 92286 vttp926 4 4336931 thanks, vttp. 8 packets for a $1. each packet flavors one 16 oz. bottled water, so is 12.5 cents per 16 oz.. the wyler's is 12.5 cents per 24 oz (if my rough calc is correct.) so, prices aren't far apart, really. thanks for that idea, as i sometimes get an old hawaiian punch craving. do they have the "original flavor"? Sun Jan 18 13:06:20 -0800 2009 4336743 105717 alkapal 5 4336991 to be honest, even though it says 16oz water to use, the flavor is still there even if you use a 1 liter bottle of water because that is what i have been using lately. the flavor is not as concentrated so it is not as sweet but still very yummy. i am not sure what the original hawaiian punch flavor is. but i took my 3 different flavor boxes out to see. they are lemon berry squeeze, fruit juicy red, and wild purple smash. Sun Jan 18 13:32:45 -0800 2009 4336931 92286 vttp926 6 4337011 fruit juicy red!!!!!! yea!!!! the great thing we're talking about: no aftertaste. Sun Jan 18 13:42:20 -0800 2009 4336991 105717 alkapal
