When it first started I thought it was me, but I found out it is not almost every one I have open has five packets of my drink mix I make it with two so far I have a lot of single ones left. I like the taste of the drink mix, so I stopped buying crystal light for the last four years am not happy I am on a fixed income. I do buy at least 8 to 10 twice a month. User's recommendation: i have a lot of them buying the great value instead of crystal light.
