Dasani flavored water

[Russ]

I have tried to change myself over to water instead of soft drinks(Pepsi, DR.Pepper) for a healthier new me New Years plan. :bgrin I fell off the wagon a day ago and had a half can of Pepsi otherwise have stuck to my plan.

Ran across the Dasani lemon flavored and raspberry flavor bottled water. Great tast and according to the bottle....0 calories. Says it is sweetened with Spenda. It almost tastes too good to be 0 calories....ya know what I mean? Anyone here try it?

They sell them at school. My favorite is the Raspberry, very tasty

I prefer Dasani flavored waters, or any other good brand, over pepsi, or any pop . Raspberry is my favorite with a close-up of Kiwi-lime YUP---hard to believe no calories! :bgrin Corinne

it would be one thing if it was just lemon or raspberry flavor but nooooooo they put that nasty sweetner in it.............gag

I don't drink pop/soda.......or anything with sugar/sweetner....gack........if I want sugar I will drink a beer preferably a dark or a bitter.....or wine preferably dry

I get them at Walmart. They are way too sweet but I also have to curb my pepsi addiction. Last time I got off the pepsi, I lost over 20 pounds.

Now, I go from that to club soda. I think that's an aquired taste but not so terribly sweet as the other stuff.

Guess I am the weird one, I still drink the water from my well and prefer the taste to any of the bottled water I have ever been forced to drink. The well is deep and the water clear and fresh tasting. I feel for people who are forced to drink municipally treated water. Yech.

Marty, Go with seltzer instead of club soda -- no sodium, but just as good. Try squeezing some lemon juice into the seltzer, or mixing it with frozen grapefruit or orange juice...better than any pop.

Like Geese, we're blessed with wonderful well water, but it spoils me for when I'm away from home and have to drink ordinary treated tap water...and I love the bite of carbonation.

I hate sicky sweet anything -- for the life of me, I don't know why they want to put sugar or other sweeteners into jams and preserves -- the fruit is plenty sweet, and the sugar just deadens the real flavor.

I can't stand the taste of Splenda or any other artificial sweetner. They are very bad for you, much worse than sugar is.

I really like Fruit2O sweetened the same and I get cases at Costco

Never tried Dasani

I drink alot of bottled water as I refuse to drink town water...........I cant stand chlorine. I like the fruit2O or the propel the best.

Geese I'm with you, even though my waters hard I prefer it over city water, bottled water and flavored water, I think it's an acquired taste though! I can't even drink coffee at my MIL's house because of the chlorine taste to the water, ugh!

And I was hooked on pop for YEARS, drank so much pepsi it's not funny, now it's water, tea, coffee and occasional home made lemonade for us

My favorite drink is still plain, unflavored water, though I detest drinking water that has the chlorine taste to it, it is one of the lesser of evils, I would have to say.

Our water is city water, oddly enough out here in the sticks, we are close to where they get it, and our property has a lot of natural springs (the neighbors use ours and have an easement to get it), but we filter our water two times and it tastes pretty good, now.

Iced tea is another good drink, unsweetened of course.

My school sells them too and I would rather have one of those then a pop, anyday. My favourite flavor is also Raspberry and I like grapefruit aswell.

I had a raspberry one by accident -- I thought I was buying just plain bottled water and did not read the label -- opened it up (by then it was MINE) and could tell it was different by smell - tasted fine -- but it defeated the point of buying water..

I too gave up soft drinks and sugared and artificially flavored beverages --- and of course there is an except -- coffee and tea -- SOMETIMES with splenda in them -- usually without.

to me the flavored water drinks with sweetners are really another name for a softdrink -- they just have different chemicals in them!

HOWEVER -- back to topic -- I thought the Dasani Raspberry was quite nice.

Unless you're a diabetic...I still prefer my drinks to be unsweetened or naturally sweetened, but I appreciate the abundance of artificially sweetened foods and drinks compared to when I was first diagnosed. I just wish they didn't use so much...a light touch would be great.
