I found Crystal Light canisters -- make 8 quarts for $2 this week. They had a large variety of flavors including Fruit Punch, Raspberry Ice, Lemonade (reg. & pink) and Iced Tea. Expiration dates 2009. They go for about $4 around here so it was a deal/steal for me. I've never seen them priced that low.

Tip: I've switched to making all powder drinks in glass pitchers & they stay so much cleaner, easier to wash.

FYI -- if you like the Crystal Light -- Walgreens has the Wylers canisters for $1. They usually have Lemonade and Pink Lemonade flavors.... Maybe others but that is all I usually purchase. The $1 price makes it a great filler for me because it is a cheap but useful item. I love it for the kids because it is Sugar Free.

Do you know if the Wylers has Aspartame or Splenda type sweetner? Hubby only likes Splenda.

I guess Hubby won't drink these then but for $1 is a great buy I can't have anything w/ASPARTAME either because of migraines


While watching the view the other day they had on a bunch of new products one was called Sweet Simplicity Sweetener

Sweet Simplicity Sweetener - Perfectly Natural Perfectly Sweet

Naturally perfect.
The main sweetening ingredient in Sweet Simplicity™ is a sugar alcohol called Erythritol. Based on naturally occurring ingredients, Erythritol actually has fewer calories than sugar. It's natural perfection.


Erythritol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erythritol ((2R,3S)-butane-1,2,3,4-tetraol) is a natural sugar alcohol (a type of sugar substitute) which has been approved for use in the United States[1] and throughout much of the world. It occurs naturally in fruits and fermented foods [2]. At industrial level, it is produced from glucose by fermentation with a yeast, Moniliella pollinis[3]. It is 60-70% as sweet as table sugar yet it is almost non-caloric, does not affect blood sugar, does not cause tooth decay, and is absorbed by the body, therefore unlikely to cause gastric side effects unlike other sugar alcohols. Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeling requirements, it has a caloric value of 0.2 calories per gram (95% less than sugar and other carbohydrates), but some countries like Japan label it at 0 calories.

Thanks so much! I had not heard of Erythritol before. The links will be very helpful. :goodpost2:

Thanks for the info!

I'll have to see if they have Wylers Iced Tea for $1 at my WAGS, I drink a good pitcher a day when we have Iced Tea mix in the house.
