Does anyone here make kool aid with sugar substitutes

[bjammmin007]

@Wesley_Clark regardless of whichever sweetener u use,use 2 Kool aid packets for a 2 liter. And that’s how ya gonna get to the closest taste to koolaid made with sugar…I’ve tried almost every variation possible,even using 2 different koolaid flavors with in-between 24 and 30 packets of sweetener.use 2 packets of koolaid,30 packets of equal,fill the 2 liter with tap water from sink or water dispenser,put in fridge for an hour or so ,it will taste just like if ya had made it with sugar.make sure ya mix it really well everytime ya gonna pour a glass

I am in college so i’m damn cheap. Instead of spending 60 cents on a 2 liter of generic soda i think i will start buying those $0.10 generic kool aid packets and putting another ten cents worth of sugar substitutes & real sugar in it.

I also have a high activity level so i end up drinking about 96oz of diet soda a day (and another 32 oz of milk). Because i drink so much soda i want it to be diet because 96oz of sugary soda is about 1400 calories of pure sugar. When i drink 96oz a day of sugared soda i start to sweat and feel run down, i guess a pound of liquid sugar a day is not good for me.

So i want my kool aid to be diet, or at the very least lite. I tried making it with nothing but sweet & low but it sucked (i only tried 100% sweet & low with one flavor though). So i decided to try 75% sweet and low and 25% regular sugar. That was a little better and edible but not great. Does anyone have any ratios of real sugar/sugar substitutes they use to make kool aid taste respectable.

Also, are there any flavors that are better as a diet version? I intend to go though 2 liters each of the 15+ flavors over the next week or so, but i want to hear if anyone who makes these with sugar substitutes find that a particular flavor is better than another. Like with diet soda diet orange and code red diet mt dew are alot better tasting than diet cola or diet root beer. I assume there are a handful of diet kool aids that taste better than the others and want to know if anyone knows of them.

Wait? Wut!!?

This don’t seem right.

And damn who drinks that much koolaide in one day? Can’t be a great idea.

I miss the days of 60 cent 2 liters. College was fun.

Did you quit that habit?

After years and years of drinking artificial sweeteners, i eventually got migraines from any exposure to them

Do the smart thing: start drinking water, instead. For those who insist they “don’t like” plain, ordinary water, start the transition by diluting your Kool-Ade. Eventually you’ll get to such a dilution, you’ll realize you are actually drinking just water.

Plain water is cheaper, and you won’t be exposing yourself to coloring agents or the chemistry set concoctions that are marketed as saccharin, Equal (aspertame), Splenda (sucralose) and acesulfame K.

It should be noted that Equal is known for causing neurological side effects.

I replaced it with other bad habits.
