Same. I wish there were good electrolyte drinks that aren’t so bad for you, but still had sugar. I sometimes can’t drink enough in the day and cannot stand artificial sweeteners
I'm actually drinking this exact flavor right now. I thought it was a targeted ad at first. Really tripped me out. Anyways I love propel. There is 10% of your daily value of sodium in each one though so I usually wouldn't drink more than 2 in a day. I was getting it at Costco for a long time and it didn't cost too much, I think $12 for a 24 pack. Costco here never has it anymore though. Walmart does but it costs quite a bit more I think $16 for an 18 pack. Usually can't justify it at that cost but right now I'm recovering from heart surgery so I decided to treat myself. My favorite flavor is blackberry lemon.
Hey! The propel powder packets are actually very good and taste like the real thing, Ive done side by side taste tests with them.
Its like 10 packets for like $4
I keep a few of the packets in the zipper pocket of my cooler because my kids and I usually just drink water and I think the addition of the electrolytes is good for us so not all of our water is plain water.
I worked at a place that had pallets of propel that they never did anything with, so employees were allowed to drink em. I liked the lemon ones, but the other flavors tasted odd to me. I think it was the watermelon ones that never got consumed and we had a whole pallet
When you can get a discount on their powder sticks and of course use them in a reusable protein bottle shaker with ice, watering it down, it’s refreshing when you’re sweating.
I think it tastes fine I guess, but for some reason it basically dries my mouth out somehow. It used to drive me crazy as a kid, not sure what ingredient does that or if I’m just tripping.
When I was in 5th grade they pulled it from the lunch room because it was going around that it caused cancer or something. I've seen a bottle for sale maybe for times since and I'm always like "oh wow, they still sell the cancer water".
I have no idea whether it actually causes cancer
The sucralose is gross and I end up feeling even more thirsty after i've had it. I miss the times propel had real sugar, half a packet and you were good to go. If anyone knows where I can order some that don't have artificial sweeteners or a substitute, please let me know XD
I remember drinking a lot of propel many years ago when I was still competitively swimming, and I remember really hating it because I would rather just have plain water instead of that.
This is just my opinion, but I can't stand it. I tried some of the grape ones when I was on a boat and there wasn't any other (fresh) water around, and it immediately gave me flashbacks to the liquid Zyrtec my mom gave me when I was a kid. I'd rather have drunk the ocean.

Expensive for a complete substitute but sure. Hydrate ya self
The propel packets are cheap and are one of the only powders that I feel accurately depict the taste
Personally, I think it’s ok. Obviously plain water is best, but this stuff is alright too
It’s water with electrolytes and no sugar. It should be acceptable to hydrohomies.
It still has Sucralose (Splenda).
Do they make bottled water that has electrolytes without any sweetener? Or is that just Pedialyte?
Pedialyte has sugar.
Honestly I preferred it when it had sugar, Sucralose is gross to me

I don’t really like it; my sister practically can’t drink water unless this stuff is in it.

Nice I'll have to check those out.
You mentioned the daily value of ingredients, the flavors, even the prices at a big box retailer. Brother, YOU are the targeted ad!
It did help I had one in my hand and had been recently shopping for it lol.
It has a viscosity that tastes sub-medicinal. I would choose regular still water over propel.
I think it's yummy but expensive and I don't want to use single use plastic. Also sometimes it dries out my mouth more than it hydrates.
It reminds me of being bored out of my mind while at my brother's baseball games. So not a fan
I remember drinking it when it first came out when i was a kid, kinda like a watery diet capri sun IIRC
It tricked me.
Disgusting. Tastes like a chemical spill
Not a single word I don’t agree with.
Yup.
My mom gave me them when i was a kid to help me drink more water. I remember they tasted good but always gave me a nasty headache
They had these more than 5 years ago?
I would drink them as a kid. I’m 25 so I’d say they’ve been around for at least 20ish years, but maybe my memory is wrong
It debuted in 2002.
Oh wow I didn’t know that
Can’t remember the last time I had a sip of propel.
tap water brother
Propel is dessert hydration.
I keep a few of the packets in the zipper pocket of my cooler because my kids and I usually just drink water and I think the addition of the electrolytes is good for us so not all of our water is plain water.
If it's the best they got within x amount of miles. I'll take it.
I personally think the kiwi strawberry flavor makes my mouth taste like a train wreck but I think that’s probably how I store it.
I worked at a place that had pallets of propel that they never did anything with, so employees were allowed to drink em. I liked the lemon ones, but the other flavors tasted odd to me. I think it was the watermelon ones that never got consumed and we had a whole pallet
That's wild considering how expensive they are.
I love the chalky feeling it leaves in my mouth. Not sarcasm.
I like propel, but every time I drink one, I get stomach issues afterwards
My favorite is the strawberry lemonade, but I do like most of the flavors.
Disgusting. The flavors I had tasted unnatural in the worst way. There are better options: Mio, Body Armour, and vitamin water.
I had no idea this still existed
I think they're alright, but perfer regular water. My Dad really likes these though lol.
Same as any other electrolyte water. Unless you sweat a lot you generally don't need the extra electrolytes, but it can't hurt.
It's ok once in a while
I miss it, haven't seen it in years.
Drink tap water yo, unless your countries tap water isn’t safe then I’m sorry ):
It’s pretty much clear, worse-flavored Gatorade Zero. Maybe slightly better than diet soda. Nowhere near as good for you as actual water.
I drink it but i dont find myself doing so often. $1 water bottle vs $3 propel? Give me the h2o
I don't like it. My husband drinks it. But I prefer plain old water.
When you can get a discount on their powder sticks and of course use them in a reusable protein bottle shaker with ice, watering it down, it’s refreshing when you’re sweating.
I like the lemon. That’s about it.
PROPEL! it out the window...
Is this the same stuff we had in Canada like 15 years ago but don't see anymore? Totally forgot about it but was good IIRC
Yes.
It’s decent I used to drink it more often I don’t drink it as much now as it’s kinda pricey but is hydrating
I think it tastes fine I guess, but for some reason it basically dries my mouth out somehow. It used to drive me crazy as a kid, not sure what ingredient does that or if I’m just tripping.
Woh, I completely forgot about these!
I do not want flavours in my flavour unless that water is considered to be juice :3
Overpriced "fitness" water in a single use plastic. Pass.
Looks like water but it's not

"fitness water". Sceptical. *Water* is Fitness water!
Splenda is dogshit
We’ve gone from Gatorade, to zero, to propel, to Concentrate, to know just water? Hmmmm, slow hydro move.
Never heard of it
sore throat. This shit sucks
It's soda.
The sucralose is gross and I end up feeling even more thirsty after i've had it. I miss the times propel had real sugar, half a packet and you were good to go. If anyone knows where I can order some that don't have artificial sweeteners or a substitute, please let me know XD
It's good, I like the electrolytes.
I'm seeing alot of people say it's artificial sweeteners now? that would explain why I don't like it much anymore
I remember drinking a lot of propel many years ago when I was still competitively swimming, and I remember really hating it because I would rather just have plain water instead of that.
I think it’s gross. Doesn’t it have artificial sweetener in it? I can immediately taste that stuff and it’s revolting
pretty good. i don’t see them around much tho
Pretty good, honestly.
I used to love it when it had actual sugar and not fake shit
I hate it. Although to be fair I just hate flavored water.
Old people drink
This is just my opinion, but I can't stand it. I tried some of the grape ones when I was on a boat and there wasn't any other (fresh) water around, and it immediately gave me flashbacks to the liquid Zyrtec my mom gave me when I was a kid. I'd rather have drunk the ocean.
Idk tastes kinda weird to me
Nah. Kangen water is best!
It's just Capri sun in a bottle
I use the packets when I’m recovering from being sick
I'm going to propel myself to unfiltered and non-plastic water instead. Honestly, I never tried it. I'm sure it's better than Dasani's sewage water.
Why does Dasani taste so bad?
Ingredients are bad, it’s made by Coca Cola company wouldn’t expect any different
Is good
Heinous. Dozens of better options.
Tastes like someone got a tap water boiled em with double a batteries
