Hi,

The directions say to mix one tub to 2 quarts (8 cups) of water.


Is that just for the Raspberry Ice or do all flavours sold in the
States call for 8 cups of water. My Canadian instructions said 6
cups for the Lemon-Lime flavour.


In the States it's sold to make 2 US quarts per tub. How much does
each of your pouches weigh? Our version (looking on the Raspberry Ice
cannister I took that pic of yesterday) is listed as 24.6 grams net
weight for all 4 tubs, so that'd be 6.16 grams to make 2 US quarts,
which is equal to 1.9 (1.892 rounded off) liters. If the formulation
is roughly equal each pouch at 6 cups per container should come it at
about 4.6 grams per pouch. I'd be interested to know what they really
are when you get a chance to look.

Take care,
Carmen

Ours is 2 pouches/box and a box is 14.8g so one pouch is 7.4g. Each pouch
is supposed to make 1.5 litres which is roughly 1.5 US quarts. As I said
in an earlier post, I find that much too strong and use 2 litres of water.

Hmmm, just checked the other Crystal Light flavours I have. What I listed
below is for the Raspberry Iced Tea. The other flavours I have aren't the
same weight. Some are more, some are less, but they all say they make 1.5
litres/pouch.

Thank you for checking Bev-Ann. It's another one of those product
differences between Canada and the US to file away as trivia - like
the Mountain Dew difference. (Canada's MD is caffeine free, our
regular is known for its robust amount - we also have a caffeine free
variety available)

Take care,
Carmen

No problem. I wasn't feeling well enough for a trip to the store
anytime soon.
