I just looked up my local grocery store and they have individual pouches listed for $0.59 each. I'm honestly surprised it's still that close!

Neither is water. Or the pitcher you have to put it in.

What the hell “flavor “ is that supposed to be???

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Probably lime. I can't think of what else it could be.

Ah yes. Harvested from the finest green they could find. Raised and ripened under the tropical sun and freshly dehydrated and ground to preserve it.
