Oh I do use crystal light and also propel powder so cheap and it makes 10 bottles each. You only have 6 packets?

I have just been picking it up recently,so maybe in other stores they have more in a pack.I also got a box where it makes 3quarts or something but that is to much for us to drink quickly enough.

I was looking at bottle water last week. You need to drink two 33 oz. bottles of water each day. Isn't that a half gallon? LOL I dread trying to do that.
