Does anyone like it? Does anyone use it?

My husband and I are debating - he loves it and was raised on it. My mother rarely bought it and I don't really care for it. Waste of money to me.

I was raised on it, but I can't drink it now! Too sweet. My kids drink tons of it and they are healthy as can be!

I agree, its just too sugary for me and my kids already get plenty of sugar. I don't need to add more in thier drink. LOL I normally buy the Walmart knock off of Crystal light and they don't know the diffrence.

We buy it my youngest and the day care kids love it. You dont have to add the recomended amount of sugar to still enjoy it. I stock up when on sale for 20/2.00 or I grab it at Aldis.

I have it in the house primarily for dh to have for lunches - I"d rather have him drink that than soda! My kids drink it but not a lot.

We drink a lot of juice, but not Kool Aid. IMO it's empty calories.

BTW: Kool Aid was invented just 30 miles from me, lol.

I don't think I've ever made kool aid for my kids. I have made instant lemonade, but not koolaid.

It's pretty much like drinking colored water with a whole lot of sugar. No nutritional value. We have always drank 100% juice, even when growing up, so I am use to not having it.
