I bought a really cute water bottle from Target the other day so I could keep my Crystal Light cold while at the office, and possibly cut down on buying all those water bottles which are bad for the environment.
The new bottle holds 24 oz., so I filled it up and added two of the lemonade-flavored water bottle packets to it. Well, I took my first sip yesterday morning and it tasted funny to me. I thought maybe I was tasting the plastic of the bottle, but it really didn’t have a smell to it when I purchased it. So then I started getting paranoid that the gel inside the fake ice cube stick it comes with was leaking into the drink because it tasted way too sweet.
It didn’t occur to me until later in the day that the average water bottle is 16.9 oz., not 12 oz. like I had assumed, so I had added enough sweetener to flavor nearly 34 oz. of water. No wonder it tasted horrible! Sometimes I swear I’m not that bright.
A few weeks ago I made a gallon of lemon aid with Crystal Light and for some reason I just could not figure out how many packets to put in and I screwed it up big time.
