Peach Ice Tea - GV Brand
A Comparison of Flavored Water: Crystal Light Vs. Great Value Drink Mix
view link
If you shop at Walmart, you will notice that next to the Crystal Light flavors there are Great Value drink mix flavors. You will also notice that the Great Value brand is much cheaper. Now, I understand that it's easy to be skeptical of store brands. I have bought store brands that have been thrown away, but I have never bought anything made by the Great Value brand that wasn't as good as the name brand. Great Value is just as good as Crystal Light, but you will notice a few differences. For example, Great Value does not offer 15 flavors like Crystal Light does. Also, Great Value doesn't offer premixed drinks. You can only find Great Value drink mix. Now, for me this isn't a big deal. I don't mind mixing the drink and storing it in my fridge. Also, I prefer the single serving mix, because it's easy to take with me to college. The only real downside I see is Great Value's lack of flavors. If Great Value could offer as many drink mix flavors as Crystal Light, more people may be tempted to buy Great Value drink mix.
All in all, I like both of these brands, but choose to buy Great Value because it's cheaper. The tastes are the same and since I prefer to the use the mix it isn't a big deal to me that Great Value doesn't offer the premixed drinks. If you're a fan of Crystal Light, try Great Value just once. You really will be surprised by the fact that they taste exactly the same. Plus, you'll pay less and who doesn't love that?
Right on! I buy the GV Peach Ice Tea mix in large numbers, great product at a great price. Goes good with a shot of peach schnapps too!~~gJ
