bandgroupie Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Okay I found a great tasting alternative to soda! I think part of our addiction is carrying around the soda bottle/can with us wherever we go: to work, to a friend's house, for a ride in the car, from our kitchen to our patio. Bad habits. It feels good in our hand. It also seems cooler to pop drinkers to order a soda at a restaurant verses ordering a boring water with a slice of lemon. OK, so I discovered a new drink. FUZE Healthy Infusions!!!! You can find it in a soda cooler or in your grocery store near the orange juice. They come in 18 oz. glass bottles. The one I tried today is Low Carb Slenderize Strawberry Melon. 20 calories per 18 ounces and 2 grams of sugar. This is our answer to not drinking high calorie drinks. And the bottle feels good in my hand! There are other flavors. Has to be one you will enjoy. Check it out: http://www.drinkfuze.com/ If someone has already suggested this on the forum, good suggestion and sorry I missed it. Anywho, ya gotta try it.

Kimra Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Mmmm.. that sounds good!! So how many ounzes total are in the bottle??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jena Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I LOVE THESE!! I bought a few when they were on sale at Kroger for $1.00 each. Last weekend I was shopping at Costco and was happy to see they had them there. They were something like $13 and change for a case of 15. Cheaper than Kroger! You're right, the bottles have a good "hand feel." I love them! Jena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandgroupie Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 18 ounces.... so for the whole bottle, 20 calories. Mmmm.. that sounds good!! So how many ounzes total are in the bottle??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandgroupie Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 And you can recycle the glass bottles: Oil Lamps - all you need for oil lamps is the following: Wick - regular lantern style/oil lamp wicks purchased at WalMart in packets of 3 are fine.Buy the thinnest wicks you can find. Lamp oil - frangranced is best but if you can't find a great smelling one.. it's not a real big deal. Snapple, FUZE, or any glass bottle with a metal lid. All you do is fill the bottle most of the way with the lamp oil. Put a slit (we used a chisel and hammer to get a slit) in the lid but be sure the slit is not quite as wide as the wicks so the wick won't slip down into the bottle. Slide the wick thru the slit leaving a very short amount sticking out of the top of the lid. Place the lid firmly onto the top of the bottle. These make great patio lights, camp lights or kitchen table lamps! Drink up and light up (as you lighten up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulafox Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Oh my gosh these are the best !!!! :good2: I love them and my all time favorite is the Banana coconut one! They are just yummy! I have at least one a day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeliedee Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Personally I like the tropical punch, and it only has 10 calories for the whole bottle. It's kind of like hawaiian punch in flavor. They also have a grapefruit flavored one that I like. But I do not like the blueberry one-it is real watered down tasting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jena I just bought a case from Sam's Club over the weekend, with glass bottles.(never seen them in plastic bottles) They have the same as above except for the Blueberry Raspberry, they have the Tangerine Grapefruit which is probably my favorite. Just a little FYI since Costco and Sams Club are both the places where you by in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandgroupie Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ok, I've been paying about $1.69/bottle and just found them at WalMart superstore for $1.00 bottle. My new favorite is the Tangerine Grapefruit. Important get the one that is low carb/slenderize otherwise you'll not be doing good for your band!

lna228 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I was reading a SHAPE magazine today and the had an article about Vanessa Williams. She drinks them every day. I wasn't sure what they were at the time but I can't wait to try them after all of the good reviews. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
