I am definitely an unashamed caffeine addict. I can't function without it. ;) I found something new at the store the other day and I love, love, love it. Powdered, caffeinated single serving drink mix packets to add to your water bottle. Here's a link to my favorite variety. Morning Spark (http://www.sturmfoods.com/products/morningSpark.html) There are several others alongside that one at Wal-Mart, the Commissary and the local grocery stores, including one called Crystal Light Focus, which has a lower caffeine content.

Since coffee gives me a headache, I'd been resorting to the very expensive sugar-free Red Bull to get me started in the morning. The price for these runs from $1.50 - $2.00 for a box of 10.

Did everyone else know about these and leave me out of the loop?

These look interesting - I'll have to check them out. Where were they located in the store - by the drink mixes (kool-aid, crystal lights, etc), or somewhere else?

:confused:It's not Diet Coke, but it's nice to know there's a fizz-free option.

Exactly where they are :) By the Crystal light/Kool-Aid/Gatorade Singles.

They also have a few flavors called Power Edge, which contain B Vitamins, Taurine, Ginseng, etc. I tried one and thought they tasted horrible. DH thought they were okay. I recommend trying more than one flavor. :p

I don't know, I think I'll stick with my cherry coke, I like the fizz. I can't reason away the calories without the fizz! Although I need to cut back since I am nursing! My poor baby, I'm such a bad mother lol

Psst... These are sugar free! ;) I know what you mean about the lack of fizz... The orange and grapefruit flavors (and maybe the cranberry) have enough Vit. C / Citric acid that they actually have a little bite/tang, so I don't notice the lack of fizz. I don't care for the Tangerine Strawberry flavor, however, it tastes flat and watery (to me). Blech...

I'm in denial- I drink Diet Coke almost every day with lunch.
