Has anyone heard of this, if so do you know if I can get it and where? I have tried the local grocery store and they have never heard of it. I heard you can drink this instead of water. Is that true as well?

Thanks for any help

We've seen it here at Wal-mart and Sam's...

And yeah, I'm pretty sure it's ok to drink - it's made with Splenda.

I live in Maine and Walmart and Hannaford and Shaw's all have the Fruit2O. It is made with Splenda and there are no carbs. It tastes good too.

Costco and BJ's Wholesale has it as well - $10 a case and the stuff is fabulous.

My Sam's is also carrying a beverage called SlimLite sweetened with Splenda. They aren't as sicky sweet as diet soda.

Thanks for the info. I definitely will get to walmart or sam's club to buy some fruit20. Since I started this woe I have only been drinking water. It will be really nice to sip on something else for a change. I will continue to drink my water though.

My favorite Fruit 2O flavor is orange, my husband swears by peach and strawberry. It's a nice way to get in my daily water. I often have it with breakfast as a substitute for the OJ I drank for years.

Fruit2O also makes a citrus and berry flavor that is enhanced with vitamins. I used to only be able to find it in Target snack bars as a single serve item, but recently found the 4-packs at CVS Pharmacy. The berry flavor is supposed to be relaxing and the citrus is supposed to be an energy boosting formula according to the vitamins and minerals they provide. They are also sweetened by splenda

If you live in the West, you can find it at Von's or Albertsons. I have found that since I started this WOE I can only drink one every few days or so --- it just seems very sweet to me, which is funny since at one time in my life I could easily drink 3-4 Mountain Dews a day!

I would not replace my water with this. I would still drink my allotment of water and then drink the Fruit2O. That is what I do with my flavored water.

I saw this at WalMart yesterday, but did not buy any. I will have to try it.

Oh, thanks for the tip about Albertson's!

I had the same experience as you. At one time, I considered the term, "too sweet" to be an oxymoron. Now I dilute my Diet Rite or Hansens Diet sodas 50/50 with club soda. I ~never~ would have guessed that might happen to me!
