You should have included this little guy...

I love fizzy too! Why can't they make something healthy, tasty & fizzy?
Years ago I gave up my Diet Coke habit while pregnant (and for years afterwards) and found a fruit drink that was 100% juice, only 70 calories and deliciously fizzy. Can't remember what it was called... all I remember is that it came in bottles that looked like wine coolers! Alas, I fell off the wagon with my Diet Coke, so I guess Goal #1 would be to give it up again! My now 10-year old daughter is really beginning to be a nag about this. I did it for her once, I guess I could do it again.

Goal #2 ORGANIZE!!!! (I've already started, and am on a roll. Look Out!)

Goal #3 Read lots and lots of books with the Sony PRS-700 that I should be getting soon (a Christmas gift)! Oh yea!

Happy New Year and Much Success with all of your resoultions, goals and wish-making!

(Will we revisit this in March to see how everyone's doing?)

Reading a forum = reading. So, you're actually reading more now!


I've given up on new years resolutions. I never keep them anyway. Though, I did make one this year I want to keep. I want to buy my first e-Ink ebook reader... Oh, and I always try to go on holiday as often as I can, but I'm not sure if that counts...

A couple of years ago my New Year resolution was never to make a New Year resolution again, it is the only one I have managed to keep consistently over the years. Though chances are I might break it sooner or later.

No, that's not it, but thanks for the suggestion. They came in 6-pack glass bottles of the same flavor. Strawberry was my fave! I've searched stores and the web and have yet to find it. We're talking late 1990's, so they could be out of business(what a shame) or bought out by someone else. But I'll never stop searching!! It's a quest! Thanks again for your help!

I was thinking of stuff like Clearly Canadian, but that is more 'flavored' then an actual fruit drink.

Would be curious to hear what it was/is...

Something like this, but I can't find the calories. Anything that is 100% juice is going to have at least 150 cals per bottle. Some advertise as 100% fruit juice with water and no sugar added which reduces the calories.

I found a few brands Essn (cans not bottles) sold on Amazon.
Nantucket Nectars (seens in health food stores and natural food cafe)
and one called Switch http://www.switchbev.com/ I have seen this as cans and bottles.

I have tried that one and the brand that's posted above me.

You know it could possibly be Knudsen's. They were in 4-packs (not 6-packs like I had said). I haven't found it in bottles and strawberry is hard to find. Grape is a bit strong. Thanks again! Please don't lose sleep or reading time over this!! I appreciate the help with Goal#1
It's been 2 days without Diet Coke! Woo Hoo!!

Thanks for the suggestions! I've been on-line searching again and Switch looks promising, as well as Fruit66 and FizzyLizzy for new stuff out there!

I'd like to find a pomegranate like that... Anyone see one in their searches? Or perhaps a Black cherry/pomegranate blend.

Switch, 130 calories in 8.3 ounces, about the best you can get for 100% juice? Great find.
