The last time I went grocery shopping Crystal Light products were buy two get two free so I bought four containers of Crystal Light.  Apparently Crystal Light has new packaging- the containers are kind of oval shaped and the powder is in foil packets (like Kool Aid) instead of little plastic tubs.  That is all fine and dandy but now there are only five packets instead of six tubs and it’s still the same price.  After tasting the Citrus flavored Fruit2O essentials Scott mentioned how much it tasted like grapefruit.  I have never been one to drink or eat citrus flavors (except lemon and lime) so I was surprised how much I liked the grapefruit flavor.  The stores Crystal Light stock had been severely raided so my choices were limited.  I saw there was a couple containers of Sunrise Ruby Red Grapefruit and decided to buy just one and give it a try.

Wow!  I really like the taste!  Scott says it tastes like a ruby red grapefruit with some sugar sprinkled on top, but since I haven’t ever had a grapefruit I will just take his word for it!  But if a grapefruit tastes this good I think I need to buy some.  This one gets high marks from me and I plan to stock up on this flavor (and a few others for variety) of Crystal Light for after surgery.
