Crayons, Inc. The Fun Company That's Serious About Quality
kiwi strawberry
At first, this refreshing combo caused quite a hullabaloo. See, kiwis are from New Zealand and strawberries are West Coast natives. So the kiwis said things like "G'day!" and the straw berries were all "Dude?" But we knew it woudl be a perfect match. So we "mooshed" themtogether and in the end, they got along famously, as you will soon discover.

Review: I have been looking forward to this drink. The Crayons Sports Drinks were okay, but this has actual juice in it. 30% in fact and still "no high fructose corn syrup". There is less Sodium and more carbs and sugars. But this has fiber and some Vitamin A. The smell is very strawberry sweet, and the taste is a lot stronger than expected. Very natural strawberry flavor not the strawberry syrup flavor. I really like the refreshing, not sweet, taste and you can really tell that there are none of the fake sweetners to muddy the aftertaste. I am putting this drink on the regular rotation in the fridge.
