Product Review: True Lemon (True Lime)
I recently got a sample pack of each TrueLemon and TrueLime. I liked it
a lot but I didn't want to post here until I found it locally (shipping is rather expensive, IMHO). What is it? Basically lemon or lime crystals. It says "add to any 10-16 oz beverage" but I find that one pack in a one liter bottle is fine. The ingredients in the lime a Citric acid, Lactose, Lime Juice, Lime Oil, Maltodextrin and Absorbic Acid. As you can see, it has not color or sweetener. I have been using it just to give my water a little flavor. Yes, I could squeeze lemon or lime juice right into the water but the little packets are much easier to store in my desk drawer at work! I got a at my local Harris Teeter (next to the Splenda, of all places), 40 packets for $4. Samples are available at http://www.truelemon.com/ -- jmk in NC |

Product Review: True Lemon (True Lime)
Thanks for the link. I've been drinking a lot of Lipton's citrus flavored
diet green tea but would probably drink more water at work if I had something like this to flavor it. "jmk" wrote in message ... I recently got a sample pack of each TrueLemon and TrueLime.

I got a at my local Harris Teeter (next to the Splenda, of all places), 40 packets for $4. Samples are available at http://www.truelemon.com/ I love this stuff and find I can drink a lot more water using it, or even plain lemon/lime juice. Since it's messy to carry around lemons and limes and there's really no room to store them in the fridge at work, these little packets do the trick. I have not seen them in any stores yet but I've ordered them online from http://www.minimus.biz/ . I love Minimus! It's good for people watching portion sizes/calories because you can buy individual servings of various things. They sell the True Lemon or True Lime for 9 cents a packet, so for 40 that's $3.60, even cheaper than your store. If you place a $20 or $25 order (I forget which) shipping is free. I bring my lunch to work and just placed another order with Minimus (including more True Lemon/Lime). I ordered a bunch of various condiments, which are perfect for a lunchbox. No mess, no worry about putting dips or sauces into yet another little plastic container that you have to carry, wash & carry back home. Portion size is controlled. You can buy individual tea bags of all kinds - great for trying out new flavors. -- -- Liz HW/CW/GW 268/147.6/140 |

I've been hunting some place I could obtain single serving sizes of peanut butter and they have them. I quit buying peanut butter by the jar since it's one of those foods I can't quit eating once I start Beverly |

Do you really think that we should all worry about .1 (if even) gram of malodextrin diluted in a liter of water? -- jmk in NC |
