GHOSTHydration Packets, Sour Patch Kids Blue Raspberry, 24 Sticks, Electrolyte Powder - Drink Mix Supplement with Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium, Vitamin C - Vegan, Free of Soy, Sugar & Gluten

This is my new favorite and go-to for my daily hydration boost!!For my liking, it's a bit too sweet, but nothing a little extra water can't help with!I also found that it's a bit harder to dissolve than my former "popular-brand" packets ... but I figured out a trick to get these to quickly dissolve.1. I grab a ROOM TEMP bottled water.2. I pour half the room temp bottled water into my 30oz tumbler (this makes more space in the bottle)3. I empty the packet into the remaining bottled water, screw the cap on and give it some serious shaking.4. Once shaken, I make sure there are no chunks falling to the bottom.5. Then, I pour it into my tumbler.6. Lastly, I add ice to my tumbler AND top off my tumbler with cold, filtered water and swirl it around! *chef's kiss* Perfection!**I do add about 6-8oz of cold filtered water as this helps dilute the sweetness for me.Since losing 60+ lbs with a GLP-1/GIP, my tastebuds and cravings have drastically changed. I don't think the "old" me would have thought this was too sweet. However, the "new" me that hasn't had (nor craved) a soda, ice cream, donut, etc in 6 months finds it to be very sweet. Again, nothing a little extra water can't fix.I REALLY appreciate the fact that GHOST has less sugar in their hydration packets. Honestly, I had no idea the previous hydration packets I was using had significantly more sugar in them as I never really bothered to check nor compare.I will definitely be ordering these again!!!

My husband was already obsessed with GHOST Energy drinks, and now he’s fully committed to the hydration packets like they’re part of his personality. And honestly? I kind of get it. These taste amazing—not chalky or weird like some electrolyte powders—and they actually work. He uses them after workouts, yard work, or just because “hydration is key, babe.” I’ve even caught myself stealing a packet here and there because the flavor is so good. GHOST really knows how to make staying hydrated feel cool. 10/10 will be reordering… probably forever.

I have bought just about every flavor Ghost offers, including the ones in the tubs. I just picked up the new Ocean water as well when I reordered. All of these taste great, and are more or less the same flavor as the sour patch kids/etc. It's hard to tell the difference. After months of drinking the Cherry Limeade flavor, I did start to associate it with cherry cough syrup, but it is an artificial flavor, soooo... Still drinkable, but now that's what it makes me think of whenever I use that flavor. YMMV. I find that, using a 1qt bottle I am able to use about half of the packet per bottle and it's more than flavorful enough, and I personally find a whole packet for the same to be overwhelmingly strong. I also end up extremely thirsty if I guzzle a whole packet, so I usually use one packet per day to flavor two bottles of water (Don't tell Ghost! wouldn't want them to shrink the serving size!), and it stretches a while as a result. It took me almost 4 months to reorder, I was able to make to make three bags last that long.These are my go to when I've been out cooking in the wet blanket that is the Florida summer, and my chubby Coloradan self is dying of heatstroke. There's been more than one occasion that slamming a packet of this with two quarts of cold water has brought me back from being dehydrated and developing that heat casualty headache. Since it drives my thirst a bit harder too, I usually end up drinking even more water in addition. Awesome stuff!Definitely easy to overdo it with though. I would NOT recommend using these to just flavor your water if you're looking to do just that, there are other flavor options out there that won't throw your electrolytes out of balance. This is a sodium/potassium/electrolyte supplement and you CAN overdo it. If I use more than one a day, I find there's a noticeable increase in my Blood pressure. Use responsibly, otherwise you could very well end up hypernatremic, which isn't good for you either.

I struggle to ensure I get enough electrolytes with my workouts and I was getting sick of the Nuun flavor I was using. Decided to switch it up and get this. Overall, it's really good. It's definitely very sweet / tart--almost tastes like kool-aid--so I don't make it a regular drink. I'll have it on occasion when I'm specifically craving something sweet right before/after a workout. It also mixes really well and I never get clumps like you can with some powders. I'm not sure if I'll buy again once I run out, but it's definitely worth trying if you like sweet or tart drinks!

My favorite hydration packet ever. It tastes great. Dissolves quickly and easily. Keeps me hydrated. I like that there isn't as much sodium as other brands. Will be a forever customer for sure.

Great taste and helps with hydration. This is our go to for hydration. Great buy!

Very very sweet. No idea how much stevia is used in this strawberry kiwi flavored product but as electrolytes go this is overly sweet for my tastes.

Tastes just like the energy drink. Delicious and refreshing. You won’t be disappointed.
