Saxguy says "Tastes great and seems to work ok" about Yogi Tea - Berry Detox

Saxguy — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:54:13 GMT

I have been drinking Yogi Tea Berry Detox for several months now.

I enjoy the flavor, which is made for strawberry, blueberry and raspberry, my favorite.

It also includes a propietary blend of the following herbs:

Organic Ginger Root

Organic Fennel Seed

Organic Hibiscus Flower

Organic Orange Peel

Yellow Dock Root

Organic Rhubarb Root

Organic Honeybush

Acai Berry

Organic Stevia Leaf

and also includes Emblic Fruit Extract and Tannins.

It's billed as supportng healthy liver and intestinal function. I don't know how to valdate that, really, but I was getting tested all summer for liver size and function and I have had no problems. It's a mild concern as I am a moderate drinker.

It has no caffeine.

The box reports that up to 10 bag can be used per day and the tea can be enjoyed for 30 consecutive days. The box also says that 2 bags can be used for a stronger effect. I enjoy two bangs when I drink several times a week but not daily.

For me, the biggest con is the $4.99 retail price...

dmlichnerowicz says "Stave off your sweet tooth with a cup of this tea" about Lipton - Vanilla Caramel Truffle Tea

dmlichnerowicz — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:19:26 GMT

My office is always freezing, so I consume a ridiculous amount of hot beverages at work. So one of my lovely staff put a box of Lipton Vanilla Caramel Truffle Tea in with a gift she purchased for me for Christmas. Each box contains 20 individual pyramid tea bags filled with a blend of black tea and caramel, vanilla, and truffle flavorings, as well as cornstarch, and sunflower lecithin.

My take: Aside from not being quite sure what lecithin is or why it's in my teabags, this is a lovely drink. The shape of the teabags is a lot of fun and seems to steep better than regular flat teabags. The tea has a fantastic aroma...soft vanilla and caramel. I have no idea where the truffle comes in, because I don't smell or taste any cocoa, but it's still a great flavor. It brews to a decent strength, which is good, since I detest weak tea. While not very sugary, there is some sweetness and less bitterness than plain black tea. Because I'm trying to be healthier and lose weight, I've...

guches10 says "Coca Cola, the best drink in History!" about Coca-Cola - Classic Coke (all varieties)

guches10 — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 21:17:02 GMT

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines internationally. The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply as Coke (a now genericized trademark) or (in European and American countries) as cola or pop. Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century.

The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola...

little4everfriends says "Lipton Diet Strawberry Kiwi Green Tea is light and refreshing" about Lipton - Diet Sparkling green tea (strawberry kiwi)

little4everfriends — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 13:38:57 GMT

I recently started drinking Diet Lipton Sparkling Strawberry Kiwi Green Tea and was quite impressed with it. I had heard about the healthy aspects of green tea for several years but was not quite taken with the sound of green tea - it just did not sound appealing to me. I tried this brand and flavor and was more than pleased. It has a very bubbly taste to it - almost like drinking a carbonated beverage that is quite refreshing. The flavors in it our quite unique. They do not tast sugary or bland like a lot of diet drinks do. I do not really pick up on the strawberry kiwi per say but I really do like the flavor that I am getting. It also has the added benefit of being diet so you are getting all the flavor and health benefits with no added calories to it. I do wish that it came in a 20 oz vs the 16 oz size but other than that I am very happy with it. The packaging is eye catching and does give the impression of a very healthy product. Thumbs up!!

Sjperry1985 says "Great Breakfast Beverage to replace coffee with" about Crystal Light - Sunrise On The Go Drink Mix

Sjperry1985 — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:04:39 GMT

As a very busy mom, I try to eat and drink healthy most of the time and it kept getting harder and harder to accomplish. After seeing the On The Go Crystal Light packets at the grocery store I bought some and haven't stopped yet. The are so cheap and convenient for me to use. Plus, I don't like plain water all the time, I need some flavor. You just use one of the convenient Crystal Light packets with a regular size bottle of water, pour it in and mix it up and tada! My favorite flavor is the Sunrise On-The-Go Classic Orange! They are sugar free and taste great. I have replaced my coffee with this so this has eliminated calories and caffeine out of my morning ritual. Best of all... Only 5 calories per serving!!

The directions on the packet say that it should be empties into a 16.9 fluid ounce bottle of water or tall glass of water (2 cups). Shake or mix it well. It can be mixed into a 10 flouid ounce bottle of water for a lighter flavor. I like my in between. I usually just fill a bottle...

awareness says "beats any similar drink in the same price ballpark" about Glaceau - Vitamin Water 10

awareness — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 22:08:50 GMT

"I hope they never find out that lightning has a lot of vitamins in it, because do you hide from it or not?"—Jack Handey

Glacéau vitaminwater10 quite simply is the best choice in its category: it's yummy, not filling, and just about as cheap as normal water that rains from the sky or gurgles from the ground (cheaper, in fact, than the imported waters which actually taste interesting).

The fact it's supposed to be healthy is just icing on the cake (and who doesn't like cake).

I came across it entirely by accident one day in the grocery store, while on my lunch break. Like on most lunch breaks, I thought to myself, "what the heck am I going to eat today? I'm not even hungry", and concluded I should buy a snack and a drink just to tide me over until the end of the day. (The snack was some yuppie candy bar with protein and vitamins—but that's a different soap opera.)

At first I was turned off by the healthy-sounding label. On the one hand, I'm naturally suspicious of anything which purports...

CAROLINEMODENBACH says "Cravings cease!" about Slim-Fast - Optima Powder Drinks - various flavors

CAROLINEMODENBACH — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:09:22 GMT

Slim-Fast - Optima is one of the best weight loss products that they have to offer. The powder form makes it even more economical because you prepare it yourself. I like to put mine in a blender with ice and a banana half. It is very low calorie and it WILL curb your appetite for many hours. The skakes usually make me so full that I have a hard time finishing one up. I have used Slim Fast products for many years now. They always seem to work for me. If you feel that you are hungry in between shakes, they offer many healthy, low calorie snacks as well. What a great way to jump start your weight loss without starving yourself. I reccomend the cans if you are on the go. They have become so popular that some gas stations have them in the refrigerator section now! How convinient? Slim Fast is a bit pricier than the store brand but I feel that it iis worth it to purchase the real thing. Especially with a company with as good of a reputation that Slim Fast has.

TweedleDeeDee says "There are zero negatives here for sure!" about Coke - Zero

TweedleDeeDee — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:31:07 GMT

I am a diet soda junkie but I have always loved coke classic....just craved that good ole taste. Well when the Coke Zero came out, I decided to give it a try and Zingggg went my heartstrings. Its taste was so close to my coke classic but without the calories. What a deal! If you are a coke lover too, you really should try this one. If you drink as many as I do, you can save the tops of the coke bottles and take your numbers to the coke rewards site to win prizes. I have won several already. I won a years membership to Pogo for myself and my daughter and a tee shirt and i have enough points to get another prize now.

PookersDeelite says "Wyler's Light drink mix great tasting!" about Wyler's - Light Low Calorie Soft Drink Mix

PookersDeelite — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:50:46 GMT

I have type 2 diabetes, this drink is a wonderful way to get refreshed! I love them they come i very likeable flavors. Pink lemonade, regular lemonade, peach tea, etc. They have a great taste and is very convienient, if you have a bottle of water you can even carry these in yr purse. Hawwaiin Punch is another one of my favorites. Like i said you can carry them with you, at a resturant i will get a glass of water and add the pouch to it if I don't want a soda. Great for on the go people and it does not have a gross after taste, and its very refreshing. I also keep a box or 2 in my car.

nikkolette says "Great taste with no baggage" about Lipton - Diet Green Tea

nikkolette — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:33:58 GMT

Lipton's diet green tea has an amazing taste. I have been on a strict diet for about a year and a half. I do not like to drink fluids as it is. I was having a very hard time finding something that I could enjoy drinking which not violate my weight watchers point system so that I would not be able to eat much food. A friend of mine suggested that I try this product. It is best served chilled and tastes amazing. I had never tried green tea in my life but it definately beats normal tea and best of all has no caffeine in it. Lipton's diet green tea also has a cleanser in it so it leaves you feeling healthy and refreshed. I can not imagine drinking anything else now. The price is very comparable to anything else that you would purchase to drink, for example, a box of cokes. It comes in liter bottles and it also comes in handy 6 packs which make it easy to pack and take for lunch when you go to work. I never have the problem of feeling continuously thirsty after drinking...

gurnymac87 says "Greats drink" about Dr Pepper - Dr. Pepper

gurnymac87 — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:44:47 GMT

Every time i drink dr.pepper i just makes me feel great so what ever they put in there drink they are doing the right thing i have alway found the taste of dr. pepper refreshing and good never had a bad sip of dr. pepper alway better and better every time that I have had it hoping that i could get more after i am done they have to have the perfect of amount of surgars and flavors down to help my taste buds i really really enjoy drinking it and making myself try not to drink it is like and alcholic to stop drinking that how good i think the dr. pepper is my friend also like to drink it as well i think they just have everyone hook on it someone takes one drink of it and it keeps you wanting more and more until it is all gone and you just have to get another one or else you might just go crazy or somthing i cant just have one sip of dr. pepper and feel satistyed by it i alway need the whole can.

KaciOhio says "My favorite Bottled Water" about Dasani - Bottled Water

KaciOhio — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 17:38:27 GMT

Dasani 16.9 fl oz. bottles of water are handy and tasty. I like this brand (Coca-Cola Co.) due to the taste. Purified Water, comes in all sizes. Regular Tap water enhanced with minerals for a pure, fresh taste. 2 servings per/bottle. Has Magnesium, sulfate, potassium chloride and salt. Adds a negligible amount of sodium. Minerals added for taste and purified by reverse osmosis. I don't know what all that means but I like the flavor and non-fakey taste of the water. They come in these blue bottles with white writing. NOW I am really bad at buying bottled water and you shouldn't do that due to your carbon footprint and these going in a landfill, you really have to think about nature. But IF you do buy bottled water this is my recommendation. Please Recycle.

this2shallpass19 says "I'm sure I would like this tea if I could taste it!" about Celestial Seasonings - Imperial White Peach White Tea

this2shallpass19 — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:00:21 GMT

As soon as the weather starts to get cooler, I find myself adding more and more flavors of tea to my cupboards. My newest addition is Celestial Seasonings Imperial White Peach White Tea. This tea is made with white tea leaves (which are the first leaves and buds of a tea plant) and white peaches. This was my first time drinking white tea, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm not impressed so far.

Celestial Seasonings says: "The orchard-fresh taste of ripe, luscious white peaches-which have a slightly sweeter flavor than their yellow counterparts- adds a taste of spring to our delicate white tea".

The first time I drank this tea, I couldn't taste anything on my first sip, so I decided to leave the tea bag in my mug the whole time to increase flavor. It didn't work. All you can taste is water with a hint of a fruity flavor. I had a few more cups and decided to try steeping it for a LONG time. I left my tea bag in for 30 minutes, reheated my tea and had a sip. Still......nothing,...

this2shallpass19 says "Pomegranate Pizzazz is a fruity tea that's not too sweet or sour" about Bigelow - Pomegranate Pizzazz Herb Tea

this2shallpass19 — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:13:51 GMT

Bigelow Pomegranate Pizzazz Herb Tea is a nice change from the horrible Tazo Wild Sweet Orange Tea I just bought. Pomegranate Pizzazz is a great tea that is made with all natural ingredients and comes in individually wrapped tea bags for freshness.

What makes Bigelow Pomegranate Pizzazz Herb Tea different from other teas I have had is that it is made with real fruit juice. The fruit juice must be what gives this tea a beautiful, dark cranberry color. They really put the best fruit flavors together in this tea because it is slightly sweet, not too "fruity", and just a tad bit tart. The pomegranate is detectable, but I also taste a little cranberry.

The tea bag wrapper states that since this tea is made with real fruit juice, it would make a great cold tea too. I have to admit, that sounds like it would be amazing. I think the fruit juice adds a great element to this tea that might not otherwise be obtained. If you enjoy fruit flavored tea, you should definitely love this!...

TallgirlWithGuitar says "Tension Tamer is a cup of comfort" about Celestial Seasonings - Tension Tamer Tea

TallgirlWithGuitar — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:34:20 GMT

A few years ago, I took some steps to create something I'd always wanted, but never quite achieved: A beautiful bedtime ritual. Along with my warm shower, lavender sprays and lotions, and easy crosswords, I settled on one delicious, soothing tea that I would reserve exclusively for bedtime: Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer. I prefer it to Sleepytime because I find the tantalizing blend of citrus and mint a little more interesting. Some nights, the mint seems to be the most prominent flavor; some nights, the citrus stands out. But one thing is true about every cup: There's just no flavor quite like this. The mint's coolness, the tea's warmth and the citrus tang all combine in perfect balance.

One of the simple pleasures of my life now is removing the cellophane from a new box and taking a deep breath. When this stuff is fresh, it's intoxicating--but in a healthy way, of course.

I really think you'll like it.

acrissycat71 says "After all these years I actually prefer diet coke!" about Diet Coke

acrissycat71 — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:31:41 GMT

I am going to have to lay it on the line, my family and I, are or should I say were, true blue Pepsi Cola drinkers from wayyyy back. But I have to admit, and my family is shocked, that I am now officially a Coca Cola drinker. I prefer Diet Coke over any other diet beverage. I never thought I would say this, but it is true. I find Diet Coke to be what I crave now and to be satisfying. I often tell my family to try Coke and you might change like I did. They don't want to hear it. Maybe someday they will enjoy the great taste like I do. But, no matter what anybody else says, for me it's definately Diet Coke. I don't drink any other flavored drinks. It's either D.C., milk or water. Plain and simple. If I took the pepsi challenge nowadays I would have to choose Coke! I wish it was a little cheaper though. I still pay the price. I go to the dollar stores or find good deals. I also collect the Coke points and get free months of my favorite game site- POGO. Cool...

the first time i saw this product was in my local kroger store ,I didnt think to try the product at the time.The second time i saw oregon chai latte tea was on totallfreestuff.com ,I thought i like chai tea why not give it a try so i ordered a sample.When it finally arrived 4 weeks later i was so excited to try it i could hardly wait.i was suprised that it tasted as good as it did and was not filled with chemicals and ingrediants that a normal person could not pronuonciate. i would recommend this to anyone who asked about the product.Ont he sample package they recommend you visit their site so i did and i learned that oregon chai was the first to bring chai to the united states,It's 90% organic and is carries the USDA and quality assurance international (QAI) certified organic seals .It also comes in great flavors such as holiday chainog,Rasberry chai mocha,chocolate charger,cocnut cream pie latte,The best part is that it is really affordable .I would recommend this to anyone who...

emilielewandowski says "do the dew!" about Mountain Dew - Regular

emilielewandowski — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:18:58 GMT

I really like Classic Mountain Dew. I think it has the perfect combination of sugar and caffine with a great taste! I drink at least one mountain dew a day and I think I am addicted. I like to drink it warm and cold! It's perfect with a sandwich or burger. I like to drink one in the afternoon at work and it keeps me going and alert for the day. I think it is interesting how there is no other soda that compares to mountain dew. It is very unique. The store brands of Mountain dew do not compare to the real thing. I love the taste...it is so yummy! I have also tried the diet mountain dew, and it is also not nearly as good as classic mountain dew. I love that mountain dew is so tasty and refreshing, but it also keeps me alert and on top of things. The packaging has just recently changed, but the colors and basic theme is still the same. I like the colors and the packaging. I feel really good when I am drinking the Dew!!

vivasuzi says "A yummy gift for the winter holidays!" about L.L. Bean - Hot Cocoa

vivasuzi — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:15:16 GMT

I love Hot Chocolate and will drink it non-stop around the winter season to stay warm. So when a coworker got all of us the L.L. Bean Hot Cocoa Mix for Christmas last year, I couldn't wait to try it. Unfortunately the first time I tried it, I used water, and it was disgusting! Most hot chocolate mixes I've owned work with water or milk so I assumed this would be the same. I found out after I made it that it calls for milk specifically, but I was so turned off that I didn't bother trying it.

The hot cocoa mix sat on my shelf until this winter when I decided to finally give it a try with milk. The L.L. Bean Hot Cocoa Mix is delicious with milk! It tastes just as good as hot chocolate that you might get from a coffee shop. Now that I've finally tasted this with milk, I know it will be gone quickly as I drink it every week.

How To Make It: It calls for 8oz of milk but I like more than that so I usually make 12. Just warm up 12 oz of milk, then pour it in a mug and add...

fizzymelloyello says "By far, my favorite drink." about Coca Cola - Mello Yello

fizzymelloyello — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:55:19 GMT

First off, this drink is somewhat like Mountain Dew, but for the true Mello Yello lover, you can tell the difference. I've been drinking this soda since I was a little kid and have been hooked on it for 18 years. That's why, it makes me sad to live in a state where Mello Yello isn't sold. I've heard that it's only sold in some states now, so I suppose it isn't as popular as it used to be, probably due to vault or some dwindling sales, but I still love it as my favorite drink. I think the drink should come back strong, and replace Mountain Dew. It has such a delicious citrusy taste. It was originally created to compete with Mountain Dew, but I love it enough so that it cannot compete, it just wins hands down. I'm hoping that they produce it here someday, since they already added it at a local resturaunt called red burrito. It may not be the best citrus drink to everyone, but I'd defintately take it over any other.
