Great new product

I just recently found this wonderful new drink for kids. Advanced H2O, along with Crayola, has come out with a brightly colored bottled water that is sweetened with Splenda. This fun drink contains no sugar, no calories, no carbs and includes vitamins C, B3, B5, B6, B12 and D. It comes in Berry Blue, Wild Strawberry, Screamin; Green, and Purple Pizazz. I am totally lovin' this great alternative to sugar drinks for our kids. They come in 8 packs of the perfect size 8 oz. bottles and sell for $2.50 a pack. So far I have only been able to find them at Walmart but they are brand new so I'm sure other stores will begin carrying them soon. Look for them in the water aisle. This is perfect for Hunter because he can finally have a "fun" drink without requiring insulin afterwards. I highly recommend this drink! Try it!

I saw those too. Unfortunately, I took one look at the color of the bottles and thought SUGAR+HYPER=CRAZY KIDS * NO THANK YOU! I guess I should have actually read the label. Thanks for the heads up and I'll try not to make assumptions to quickly next time.

well...if walmart is the only place you can find them- it might be a while before they make it to my town:0)

Yeah for Hunter...he gets to have a fun drink with the rest of the kids! It's about time they came up with something like this!

So great for Hunter!!! For people like me, and thank goodness I'm not a kid, spenda is horrible. It's an artifical sweetner and causes me to have migraines lasting for days on end. I'm so happy that it's something good for a little boy that deserves something fun in his life.

Ginger,
I have gotten headaches from Aspartame, but never had any trouble with Splenda. We use it very frequently at our house.

I did see those recently and while I passed thought, "How cute". So is splenda okay for kids . . . I guess I've always tried to avoid it—I'm guessing with Hunter though you've probably done all the research. Thanks for the fun tip!

Beth,
With any artificial sweetener we definitely limit, but from what I have read, Splenda seems to be the safest and a great alternative to sugar.

I'm a fan of Splenda. I started using it when I was pregnant. The literature I read advised pregnant women to stay away from aspartame (i.e. NutraSweet/Equal).

Neat product, Teresa. I'll have to check it out.

Oh! I'm glad it's working for Hunter. :-D

These are great! My daughter loves them and they are good for them as well! I was along with Amy about seeing it the first time, luckily I picked it up and read the label! We have only been able to find the green and red ones right now.
