I have to get back to using the stuff to drink and in recipes and I do
not like their prices, never did.
 
In the sixties they had  a competitor and a few grocery stores offered
the option... the high priced Kool Aid or the other ...more than  SIX
TIMES CHEAPER ...20  packages for  $1.00   if I recall correctly...10
or 20 gallons worth for $1.00.

Does that competitor still exist?  I cannot find it...............

I don't know where you live, but all the supermarkets in the
Philadelphia area have a section with powdered drink mixes that are much
less expensive then canned or bottled drinks. Just ask at the
information desk the next time you go grocery shopping. I usually buy
Wyler's or Chrystal Light.

Wall Mart has their CL knock-off drink mix/industrial byproduct for
about half the price of the branded stuff.

Always carry a length of fiber-optic cable in your pocket.  Should
you be shipwrecked and find yourself stranded on a desert island,
bury the cable in the sand.  A few hours later, a guy driving a
backhoe will be along to dig it up.  Ask him to rescue you.

Contains aspartame.
Also may contain traces of milk, almonds, pecans, walnuts, wheat and
soy.

$2 for enough to make 3 gallons.  Used to be $1.50.
IIRC, the real Crystal Lite was $5.
