Wyler's Light Singles to Go Drink Mix, Base Flavors Variety Pack, 20 Packets

Although I am not on TikTok, I am vaguely aware of Watertok and overall just ignore it. I have been drinking water with mixes for a while now, as thats my husbands preference for drinking water and we typically have Starburst mixes. I decided to try these as something and different, but honestly the coconut flavor was what sold me as I haven't seen that flavor anywhere else. I love these. What I like about these is these are "plain" flavors and not special mixes like Strawberry-Lime, Coconut-Pineapple etc. I will note that when I ever drink any mixes, I HEAVILY dilute them (1 mix in 40oz of water) since I always find the dilution per instructions is still too intense for me. Even heavily diluted, the flavor is still pretty strong which is nice. The flavors also don't tastes like "fake" flavoring. I know they are all NOT REAL FRUIT, but bad fake fruit flavor has a certain...taste to it. These do not have that fake weird taste to them. Also, 20 for a box is cheaper than other name brands. Here is my take on the flavors: Lime- Very strong true lime flavor. Coconut- tastes great, like coconut water-ish. Not super sweet, tastes lightly coconut but not you are drinking a coconut cocktail. Banana- tastes just like a banana Laffy Taffy. This flavor that in fact, turned my husband into a fiend for this brand and went researching what other flavors they have. He is a T1D, so the fact he can taste candy like flavors is teh holy grail for him. Mango- My least favorite of the bunch, as this doesn't taste very strong. Kind of tastes watered down mango, but not a fake mango taste.

I haven't run into Banana or plain Coconut in these sugar-free drink packets yet, and holy cow I didn't realize what I was missing out on. I absolutely love these. The Mango is okay. The Lime is citrusy, definitely more 'lime-ade' tasting than almost every other lime flavored packet I've used before - fairly close to fresh lime aquas frescas. The real stars for me are the Banana and Coconut flavors though. Banana tastes like... what you'd expect, that artificial banana candy flavor (think Runts). Coconut is a sweet plain coconut flavor, no pineapple or other flavors detected - perfect on it's own or mixed with other stuff. I'm super glad Weyler's put these out, and really hope they stick around because right now I think they're the only brand putting out banana flavor packets. Too bad at the time of writing the pink box with Unicorn and Cotton Candy is on backorder by several weeks, but I have high hopes for when it arrives. For reference, I drink one packet with 35oz of water - which I think is perfect. The flavor profile might be a bit strong if just mixing with the recommended 16oz of water, like most other drink packets.

Excellent taste

I like the coconut and 🍋‍🟩 the best. The coconut 🥥 has coconut fiber in it, so will not dissolve fully to a clear drink. I like that, some people complained, but shake it until it's mixed like normal and accept the coconut milk like drink. It's easy for on the go drink flavoring and helps with hydration if you don't drink enough plain water. Good value, still deciding if I like the banana flavor or not. It's a hard flavor to replicate. The flavors are pretty mild in 16.9 oz (1/2 liter) bottle. Adjust as needed.

I thought that these might be as good as some of the other Watertok flavors ,but they weren't . The Banana flavor was the best one out of them all . The Coconut flavor came in second with just a slight after taste . The Mango & Lime had a really strong , almost bitter after taste . Would I buy them again ? Not likely .

Base Flavors are sub-par. Fun Flavors are absolute garbage. Base Flavors: BANANA tastes like the yellow twin popsicle, albeit a bit watered down even when prepared as directed. Had some trouble dissolving despite rigorous shaking-- it is a softer, squishier powder as far as these things go. Rare flavor that no one else seems to have. Maybe there is a reason for that, eh? LIME was probably the only genuinely good flavor out of the bunch that I can find myself wanting more of (but have better sources). A very sweet take on the flavor. Might as well just put fresh lime juice in your water, though (from the actual fruit, none of that ReaLime crap). (I recommend the Arbol Frutal or SONIC-branded 0cal Limeade for something with a little more sour/tart to it.) MANGO is a somewhat-candied-- "Mango candy, not mango fruit.". Better ones out there (Tampico). COCONUT tastes like how coconut suntan lotion smells, but with a slightly peanutty finish. Not a very good implementation of the flavor. If you were expecting anything like VitaCoco or other coconut waters, you will be sorely disappointed. (The SONIC-branded 0cal Ocean Water is much better and more refreshing. Granted, it's a coconut-citrus mix. Arbol Frutal's Summer Colada is also excellent.) Fun Flavors: Succumbed to curiosity and bought a box of the Fun Flavors. I suspected these were just some sort of social media psy-op or content creator fodder. I should've went with my gut-feeling there, as I deeply regret this purchase. These are going into the trash. UNICORN tastes like some sort of bubblegum-berry mix, with maybe a hint of clove (the purple Necco Wafer / Sweethearts candies). I am not particularly fond of it, but it's not terrible. MERMAID tastes absolutely nothing like the coconut-orange-pineapple suggested by the product photos. It's more like sugarwater that had flowers floating in it. Somewhat unpleasant, but great for pretending you're a hummingbird. PEACH RING is a overly-sweet peachy flavor that tastes close enough to the namesake candy. Probably the savior of the pack, but not enough to make me ever buy again. There are better peach 0cal mixers out there. "Peach candy, not peach fruit."-- granted, such was the goal this time. COTTON CANDY tastes like cotton candy Bubblicious/BubbleYum if they were made with Sweet & Low. Terrible; First time I've ever poured out a zero-sugar water enhancer in disgust, and am throwing out the rest of this flavor. I expected better of a brand as reputable as Wyler's Light (their ISLAND PUNCH flavors are excellent, definitely recommend any of them). These weirdo flavors are definitely NOT something I would purchase again. Frankly, I am infuriatingly disappointed enough that I am going to seek a refund. ONE POSITIVE NOTE THAT I HAVE: I appreciated how these were very light on the use of food dye. A lot of other brands tend to overdo it with the coloring for visual appeal.

So the only flavor I liked at all was the lime. The banana has that extremely sweet artificial candy banana taste, the coconut tastes straight up like coconut (and I'm just not a huge fan of coconut usually anyways), and I'm just going to act like the mango one doesn't exist it is so bad- so instead of throwing away the banana and coconut packets I was planning to eventually mix them with other drink powder packets I have to make a unique flavor. Well one day I was making banana bread and just decided to throw a banana packet in there to see if it would amp up the flavor- best banana bread I've ever made. Yesterday I had midnight cravings for pancakes, threw two banana packets in- INCREDIBLE banana flavored pancakes. Haven't found a use for the coconut ones yet but yeah I'm loving using the banana packets for stuff they definitely weren't intended for haha. I really might buy this again just for the lime and banana. But if you're not trying to experiment like me and you just want these for water I'd advise you to pass on these.

Great tropical flavors!
