Emergen'C supplement
 
Have you ever used Emergen C? I know it comes in different flavors and I am thinking of getting some if it doesn't taste nasty.

IT TASTES LIKE CRAP!

(I kid you not.)

Don't taste great but good for you.
Heavily dilute it and its not so bad.

The lemon-lime tastes ok-the stuff is really good for you though!! Whenever I get sick, I drink a packet a day-and that stuff works!!

I had one that tasted like citrus and it didn't seem so bad. Of course, I was taking it because I had a stuffy nose, so I probably couldn't taste it. Anyway, I was better in about two days, so I'd say it's probably worth it.

Then again, maybe it's like one of those mom-type tricks to just get you to drink water and it's not the actual vitamins that make it work.

Okay, so I went looking for Emergen-C at Whole Foods (also an excuse to get some granola and some California rolls...but I digress...). Anyhow, the girl in the vitamin aisle was very helpful and even told me which flavors she likes the best.

So I decided to get one packet each of tangerine, raspberry, tropical and cranberry. I mixed the tangerine with probably about 12 ounces of cold water in a water bottle (it calls for 6-8 ounces, but I thought I would dilute it) and it was not bad at all! It just tasted like fizzy Gatorade!

So I am now waiting to see if it boosts my energy and gets rid of the sore throat that started yesterday. I'll have to post on how I feel tomorrow :)
