I am an avid soda drinker (I know it's unhealthy!) and I have been wanting to get cut down on sodas slowly. I had hoped that I could easily switch to diet sodas instead. I was excited to try this product, in hopes that it would have the diet soda taste without all of the harmful ingredients.

When I decided to sample the product, I was a little worried. It says to use two drops for each ounce of sparkling water. I put a little sparkling water in a cup, and added a couple drops. It tasted like sparkling water. I ended up having to use half of the sample bottle just to get a hint of cola taste.

You can see here the amount of water I used.

I am not pleased with the product at all. I could not imagine how much would have to be added to a full glass of water, if it takes half of this for only the small amount I put in my cup. I would not purchase this product (again, this is just my opinion. Some of you may love it!) I would much rather purchase bottled water and use something to flavor it with, or just drink sparkling fruit water.
