What do ya'll drink?

If I drink ONE MORE Tropicana Orangeade I think I'll fall out from boredom!  At home, I've taken to drinking tea sweetened with Splenda and alot of water.  But, on the road, I get soooo tired of bottled water and the dreaded orangeade which seems to be the only no sugar, non-carbonated drink they could fit into the cooler with 3,000 other types of beverages at the average gas station/conv. store.  Is there anything out there that maybe I'm missing?  I've even tried a couple of the Vitamin waters, but I REALLY don't want the calories, even though the sugar content doesn't bother me. 

Thanks

I usually drink Crystal Lite or unsweet iced tea.

Powerade zero, but for some reason its not in too many convenience stores :(

Its really sweet too (the red is like strawberry jello). I usually put some lemon in there. Anywho, sugar free and all that and no fakeysugar aftertaste at all.

I buy the Special K2O protein packets that you add to bottled water. Like 30 calories, no sugar and 5 grams of protein. They come in assorted flavors. I like the pink lemonade. Also Crystal Light white grape. Yum.
I also make my own decaf iced tea and add plenty of lemon & orange juice and sweeten a bit w/ splenda.

Crystal Light ( actually the Wally World brand) in all flavors, plain water, occassional G2 gatorade, decaf coffee, once in a while a half cup of 1% milk, protein shakes.  Most of the time my Crystal Light is made into a slushie with ice and a protein bullet (or half of one) added to get in some extra protein.

Don't do ice tea - can you believe a born and raised southern girl who doesn't like tea?  I may try it though, taste has changed a little bit since surgery.

Oh - Oh - Oh My new thing is the diet Ocean Spray only 2 g of sugar and it's such a nice change. The standbys are water (Aquafina & Dasani), decaf tea from home, any of the crystal light packages (love the wal-mart brands just as good), Skim milk, decaf coffee, SF Lemonade & Orangeades and Liptons diet green tea.

I also love the WalMart brands of Crystal light. Grape is my favorite right now!

edited to add.. I just realized how good chicken broth was to drink. The warmth sure goes down better than something cold for me!

Hi Cindy! 
I understand totally about warm.  For the first year or so I made my wally world crystal lites with warm tap water because cold was too cold!   Some weren't so good warm, but there was a cherry one that was awesome.

Oh Thanks! I will have to try the cherry. Seems so weird now that I have to have my drinks at room temp or warmer, but I do! Good to see I`m not the only one!
