Flavor Aid Singles To Go Aguas Frescas Variety Pack, 2 Boxes of 50 Sticks

5 out of 5

Great Strong Taste

I quit drinking as many cola in January and was determined to drink water. I hate water! I researched flavor packs and this was kept saying the flavor was strong. I tried it and loved it! I've ordered this numerous times. It is kinda strong, but that's why I like it. I've really cut my cola drinking down with this. I was drinking a 2 liter of diet Mountain Dew a day and now I drink a 2liter a week. My stomach feels better and my skin looks healthier. This is a win win thing for me!

Great flavor packets

These FlavorAid Aguas Fresca to go packets are really good. They're sweetened with aspartame but they don't have a gross aftertaste like some. It says to mix 1 packet in a 16.9oz water bottle but I found that too be a little too sweet for my taste so I just add half a packet. The powder fully dissolves and all the flavors are really good. The packets arrived very fresh with an expiration date out almost 2 years from receiving them.

A variety of bright, tasty flavors

These water flavor drink mixes are really tasty! Each packet flavors between 16-20oz of water, and they're all quite strong, so I'd recommend going with the higher amount of water. All four flavors are distinct and unique, and actually taste like what it says on the package. You get strawberry watermelon, mango, cucumber limeade, and Jamaica. Jamaica tastes a lot like hibiscus tea, and while it's my least favorite of the four, it's still very nice. Cucumber limeade tastes like lime at first, but with a surprising cucumber aftertaste. Both the mango and the strawberry watermelon taste exactly like you'd expect from the name. These packets are low calorie and both sugar and sodium free. Be aware they contain aspartame, if that's of concern to you.

Nice, but not uniquely so

I'd never seen Jamaica or cucumber limeade in a single-serve drink mix powder, so I had to give these a try. I'm not a big fan of floral flavors, hibiscus included, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Jamaica leans more into the fruity notes than the floral ones. If you're thinking hibiscus as you drink, sure, you can taste it, but without looking for it I would assume this was pomegranate, black cherry, or maybe cranberry. I didn't know what to expect with the cucumber limeade, especially with how the cucumber has been downplayed in the tropical art on the packaging. Strawberry, watermelon, mango, hibiscus, all front and center... the cucumber? Just kinda... under the lime, and... covered up by the splashing water effect. So, how's the drink mix itself? Unfortunately (or fortunately, for some people), the cucumber's presence here is just as masked as on the box. It tastes like any other lemon-lime or limeade drink mix (maybe just a bit less aggressive), and if I were to ever guess that the second flavor is cucumber, it would only be because cucumber and lime are occasionally paired up.
