tnhillbilly- what is a swift tie?

Is there a crystal light on the go type thing that does NOT have aspartame(Nutrasweet) in it? There are those of us who get TERRIBLE migraines from that particular chemical.

Is there anything like that which is sweetened with Splenda?

YES! (if you like iced tea)

4C makes on the go packs in tea w lemon, raspberry tea, decaf tea and green tea with honey all sweetened with SPLENDA!

Since I avoid aspartame, too, I love these guys!

I got mine in larger packs at Sam's Club.

they come in different colors but the most popular are white and black. They are a strip of plastic that has ridges on one side and a head on one end that you put the other end thru and it catches on the ridges and will not come back off. You will see them on wires and some department stores use them to hang the price tag with. Ever took something home that had a tag on it and you could get the (thing) that was holding the tag to get smaller but it would not go the other way and open up. Not really a good description but I just dont know how to describe it.

Actually it's a very good description. In NJ we call them zipties (at least by me) I have heard of them being used in lieu of handcuffs, too! I can vouch that my students in hs have used them to tie kids' backpacks to desks as well. They hold *very* well.

Sort of off topic but...

Maybe it's just me, but for some reason I found that the tap water in WDW actually tasted ALOT better this year than it did last year. Maybe it was just me...who knows?!

We are going in September, but a friend of mine was there in April and said the water wasn't any worse the tap water in our own town.

72 days till WDW

I love the idea of decaf tea w/ Splenda! What is 4c?

 

[Thinktinknpixiedust]

4c is just a brand of tea. Check your local supermarket, perhaps you may not have that brand where you live, if not then see if you have something comparable... worth the investigation... really yummy!!

I do not like crystal light so I brought a small container of country time lemonaide and scooped it in the water bottle when needed.

How much country time lemonade do you put in your water bottle? What sixe water bottle do you use?

 

[LoveWDW]

just a side question....can you get coffee in the refillable mugs??

We did last time we went, but it has been 4 years. I frequently asked for ice and then filled the mug with hot coffee and made iced coffee.

Isn't Splenda supposed to be a special formulation of real sugar? I thought I saw that somewhere - so it wouldn't be considered an artificial sweetener.

Splenda is chemically altered sugar.

This is sort of OT, but not everyone does okay on Splenda: http://www.mercola.com/2000/dec/3/sucralose_dangers.htm# (I take stuff this site says with a grain of salt)

I drink it in my coffee every morning, but I'm kind of wondering if I should... I guess coffee isn't that great for you either

Splenda is sugar that undergoes a chemical process so the carbohydrate calories are removed. It is not artificial. It is sugar without the calories. It should not give you a headache and it mixes well with everything. That explains why it is more expensive than sweet n low, sugar, and that blue stuff (Equal, I think).

Splenda also has no aftertaste what-so-ever. Splenda is the perfect food product. Too many carbohydrates in drinks is a big reason why so many people are overweight. (Opps - got carried away)!

Have fun!

I cannot stand the taste of that Danasi water Disney sells, but since they have the contract with Coke, I guess they have to sell the Coke products. How I long for the days when they sold Zephier Hills water. (sp) So, even with the bottled water, I'd have to change the flavour. We will have the dining plan. What else is allowed in the food courts or counter service for beverages, besides pop and coffee and tea?

 

[Skroops]

thanks! My family isn't big about getting enough water, so the packets will totally help. I'll check out my Target and try for a variety of water "add-ins"!

I put 1/4 cup in one 12 ounce insulated water bottle. I carry the rest in a container. I also bring a large thermos to mix up a gallon to take to the pool and to keep in the room. Children are always thirsty!
