Crystal Light appreciation thread

Linda Evans 2nd CL commercial. Did she perform all of her own stunts??

Crystal Light was so perfectly represented by "Krystle" Lite.

I like the lemonade versions, yellow and pink. I have also used it to clean our dishwasher.

Raquel Welch (RIP)

Miss Pricilla Presley

This one from 1992 is iconic featuring Enya’s Orrinico Flow!

Crystal Light is for fat whores and The Poors.

The Crystal Light Aerobics Championship competition!

[quote]Some of my fave CL flavors are: Fruit Punch, Concord Grape, Cherry Pomegranate, Orange, Raspberry Iced Tea and Raspberry Iced Tea.

So nice, you had to state it twice!

If you want to do aerobics at home. Listen to the Crystal Light workout tape!!

Fun fact: Both Linda Evans and Priscilla Presley wanted to join Jaclyn Smith and Dierdre Hall's acting workshops, wherein they would perform scenes from Shaw, Ibsen, and Synge after which they would give one another copious acting notes. However, Hall and Smith rejected both Evans and Presley stating that neither of them made bold choices or were edgy enough to become serious actors.

I had to go into the hospital for emergency stomach surgery. I had an ulcer that ate through my stomach lining and allowed bacteria to get into my bloodstream. Sepsis. I almost died. Anyway they wouldn’t allow me to drink Crystal Light while there. I told the hospital dietitian she was a big cunt and that she probably only fucked in missionary position because she was so boring.

“I almost died.”

Try harder next time, R17. You’ll get there eventually.

I miss their popsicles. I lived on those and cocaine back in mid 90s and goddamn, I was hot

R18 who pissed in your iced coffee today?

I love the pineapple flavored water packs make by Sunkist. Crystal Light is too pricey for the number of packs I use.

I enjoy lemonade mixed with peach iced tea. Store brand is fine

Crystal Light causes impotency if anyone is interested.

Rashpberry Ishe FTW.

I buy CL as my primary beverage but I cannot choke down the tea/green tea flavors - not a fan of green tea in general, as I find it weak in flavor. The regular tea flavors all taste artificial, even the ones with fruit added. The only other one that I didn't find that great was the concord grape - too sweet and Kool-Aid like.

There a bunch of flavors that I see offered on Amazon and Walmart websites that aren't sold in any of my local supermarkets in NYC. I never see peach mango, wild strawberry, citrus, strawberry lemonade... I'm jealous. One of these days I'll remember to put those flavors in my cart and hope they won't disappoint.

I believe in Crystal Light, 'cause I believe in me.

It used to be my go to beverage when trying to lose weight until I figured out the artificial sweetener caused the runs. I was drinking two or three glasses a day. I moved to unsweetened carbonated water like La Croix.

R19=Yasmine Bleeth

Lemonade Crystal Light and gin used to be my choice beverage for drinking alone at home. I was tired of schlepping tonic water home from the store.

I like to lap it up

I just drank a tall glass of my morning favorite- Crystal Light Orange.

Love CL but I wish they didn't use so much food coloring for some of the flavors.

R32 like the red fruit punch?

R17 is hilarious. The story goes from near death to calling a hospital worker cunt and boring for fucking in missionary position.

That was nice to see Priscilla’s original face.

Came here to echo r19. Those popsicles were incredible. I have thought about them for the past thirty years.

Can't people still make their own CL popsicles?

It's not the same, R37. The texture. And the fact that there was no wooden stick to gnaw on after doing a bunch of cocaine.

Kool-Aid for grown ups.

I’m enjoying Crystal Light lemon tea now.

It’s evening here. I’m enjoying a tall glass of, you guessed it, Crystal Light fruit punch. Hee hee.

Kristin Chenoweth can't live without it

R33 yep! It's my favorite flavor but I'm too old to run around with a red tongue like a 5 year old after a cherry popsicle, so I usually stick with lemonade. I'm also clumsy as fuck and the stain removal is a beast.

R43 pffffft

Another glass of fruit punch for moi. It takes the edge off of my after dinner sweet tooth.

Crystal Light troll here…

I just mixed up a 2 quart glass pitcher of Crystal Light Fruit Punch 🍎 🍊 🍇. I am really going to enjoy myself this afternoon by pouring an extra tall tumbler full of this delicious soft drink mix. I’ll add lots of fresh, filtered, ice cubes along with one of my silicone straws. Such a delicious way to experience my favorite drink.

My favorites are always the lemonade and strawberry lemonade flavors. Stay away from the Margarita flavor. It's not worth wasting your tequila. Alas, I have several different kinds in my house but can't drink them right now. GOLO recommends staying away from foods and beverages that are mostly chemicals. They endorse healthy eating.

I BELIEVE IN ME!

My friend just sent me a text informing me Crystal Light is for fraus and fags. 😢

Your friend is correct but so what who cares?

Spread your legs wide open and enjoy

Listening to Crystal Waters while drinking Concord Grape Crystal Lifht.

^^Crystal Light

Pink Lemonade fan here but I always had to add more water than in the directions as I found the flavor overwhelming...like the name, its suppose to be light

R54 admit you like weak piss

Overheard off-camera when Raquel was filming R4's commercial: "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? GET ME SOMETHING REAL TO DRINK, LIKE NOW YOU INCOMPETENT FOOLS!"

R56 they switched her glass to dog piss after she blew up at the crew

Fifty-seven replies and no one has mentioned knowing a drag queen called Crystal Light. There has to be one somewhere.

Seriously? Crystal Light is [bold]that[/bold] good? The only use I've ever had for it was to mix it with colonoscopy prep liquid to make it somewhat palatable.

Ya learn something new every day.

I’m slurping on some cherry-pomegranate Crystal Light. It’s so refreshing.

If the Chrystal Light Queen and the Gap Playlist Guy could mate what kind of obscure yet misguided obsession would consume their offspring’s mind?

I couldn't live without Crystal Light. I buy the pitcher packs from Amazon, but it's weird how the price can fluctuate dramatically. My faves are pink lemonade, lemonade, and fruit punch, though I agree that the obscene amount of food colouring in the fruit punch is slightly off-putting. I have a stain on my countertop from it that I can't get rid of.

Love this thread.

Next time you're in Target, look for their store brand of CL - it's good and virtually no different than the real stuff. Same if you have a Stop and Shop supermarket... theirs is good too. Save yourself a dollar or two.

I’m not OP, but I am probably as enthusiastic about CL and its brethren.

Nothing I like better than mixing some flavors over tons of ice.

I just recently discovered the Splenda Peel and Pour drinks.

I’m mourning the demise of Walmart’s Tropical Limeade.

Costco has the lemonade, raspberry lemonade, fruit punch, and wild strawberry flavors in a variety pack.

Splenda was found to be genotoxic.

I’m gonna get up off of my “sick bed” and pour an extra large glass of Crystal Light Fruit Punch 🍉 🍎 🍒

I came home from the auto dealership service dept with a migraine. Popped a Nurtec and took a 30 min nap.

Here is Linda Evans full Crystal Light workout audio mix for you to listen to while exercising or thinking about exercising! Circa 1984. It’s a hoot!

Juju says Crystal Light - bad

How to mix Crystal Light drink mix

I love the Crystal Light + Caffeine individual packs in the summer. When it's too hot for coffee, these are my go-to.

PS they also mix well with vodka. *hic*

[Quote] I told the hospital dietitian she was a big cunt and that she probably only fucked in missionary position because she was so boring.

I put that bitch in her place!

[quote]I never see peach mango,

Peach Mango is actually "Green Tea" Peach Mango, but don't let that dissuade you r25, you wont detect any "tea" flavor in it. However, it is on the sweet side.

R74 it smells exactly like cat piss too.

Enjoying classic orange CL right now. So delicious.

I worked for the ad agency that handled the account back in the 80s. They looooooved Linda Evans and said she was a doll. The agencies other big account was a diet drug called AIDS. Needless to say that turned out to be a nightmare.

It was spelled ayds

And it was fudgey candy squares.

I smell a rat.

R64, I'm mourning it too.

What year did it vanish? 2016? 2017?

Ayds.

“Lose weight deliciously with the aid of Ayds.”

I made a 2 quart pitcher of Crystal Light fruit punch. Just poured myself a tall glass over ice.

You bitches made me buy two packages of diet peach ice tea mix today. I preferred Liptons but I don't think they make it anymore.

I need help deciding which soft drink mix to drink….
