Liquid I.V.® Hydration Multiplier - Popsicle Firecracker | Electrolyte Powder Drink Mix | 1 Pack (16 Servings)

Surprisingly Good — A Fun Twist on HydrationI wasn’t sure what to expect with the Cotton Candy flavor of Liquid I.V., but I’m always up for trying new flavors — and this one was a pleasant surprise.If you’re familiar with Liquid I.V., you already know the formula works. It really does help with hydration, especially after workouts, long days in the sun, or just when I’ve had too much coffee and not enough water. It gives me a quick energy boost and helps me feel more alert and refreshed, especially in the afternoons.Now onto the flavor — cotton candy. I was a little skeptical at first. I mean, cotton candy and electrolytes? But it actually works. It’s sweet without being too overpowering or artificial, and it has that nostalgic fairground vibe without tasting like straight-up sugar. It’s more like a light, fruity sweetness with a hint of that classic spun sugar flavor. If you like sweeter drinks and you’re looking for something a little different from the usual lemon-lime or berry blends, this is a fun twist.That said, if you’re not into sweet flavors or you prefer something more citrusy or subtle, this might not be your top pick. But for me, it’s a great change of pace and a fun way to make staying hydrated feel less like a chore and more like a treat.Overall, Liquid I.V. Cotton Candy is a win. It’s not my everyday go-to flavor, but it’s definitely one I like to keep around when I want something different — or when I want to impress friends with a hydration drink that doesn’t taste like chalk.

I’m a big fan of Liquid I.V. in general, but the Popsicle Firecracker flavor is hands-down one of my new favorites. It instantly brought me back to childhood summers chasing the ice cream truck for that classic red, white, and blue popsicle. The flavor is nostalgic without being too sweet, and it’s super refreshing—perfect for hot days.As for performance, it works just like the other Liquid I.V. flavors I’ve tried: within about 20 minutes I feel noticeably more hydrated and energized. I’ve used it after workouts, on busy mom days when I forget to drink enough water, and even during long days outside with the kids. It really does make a difference.The convenience factor is another win—I just toss a stick in my bag and mix it with a water bottle when I need it. No clumping, dissolves quickly, and always tastes smooth.Overall, this flavor is fun, nostalgic, and effective. If you’re already a Liquid I.V. fan, you need to try this limited flavor before it’s gone. And if you’ve never tried Liquid I.V., this is a great one to start with!

I take medication that causes dehydration, so staying properly hydrated is a real challenge for me. The problem is… I’m one of those people who just cannot stand drinking plain water. I need flavor—something that makes sipping water actually enjoyable. I’ve tried just about everything: Propel, Gatorade, and a bunch of other so-called electrolyte waters. None of them worked for me. Either the taste was off, they were too sugary, or they didn’t seem to make a difference at all.Then I found these. I’ve only been using them for two days and I can already feel a HUGE difference. My body feels more hydrated, I wake up with less grogginess and fewer body aches, and overall, I just feel better. It’s honestly kind of shocking how fast they worked.I’m also a bit of a tumbler hoarder—guilty! I usually use my Venti Starbucks plastic tumbler, fill it nearly to the brim with ice water, and pour one packet in. Quick tip: make sure to stir it well. The first time I just swirled it around and ended up sucking up a bunch of dry powder clumps—bleh. Now I use a butter knife to stir it thoroughly and it dissolves perfectly.I bought the strawberry flavor, and let me just say—it’s so good. It’s sweet, but not overpowering. Sometimes, if I want an extra kick of flavor, I’ll mix in a tiny bit of a sugar-free strawberry lemonade packet. Chef’s kiss. It's like a mini mocktail that actually hydrates you.Now, let me tell you what sold me on these for good.I work in the shipping industry and spend a lot of time in the warehouse. I live in South Carolina, where the heat and humidity can be brutal, especially in buildings with poor ventilation. About a week ago, I was in the warehouse for six straight hours. I was sweating nonstop, got overheated, and felt like I was going to pass out. My head was pounding, I was nauseous, my hands were shaky—it was bad. One of my coworkers handed me a packet of the lemon lime flavor from this same brand. I mixed it up and drank it down, and within 30 minutes, all my symptoms were gone. Not even exaggerating. That moment right there convinced me to order them for myself.Honestly, everyone should have these on hand. This stuff is the bomb-diggity. If you toss in a Vitamin C tablet too—BOOM! You’ve got yourself a delicious, hydrating, vitamin-packed drink. So refreshing, especially with extra ice.The flavor is amazing—if you like strawberry drinks, you’ll love this. It turns a boring bottle of water into something you actually look forward to drinking. If it’s a little too sweet for your taste, just dilute it with more water or try the sugar-free version. I like that it’s easy to adjust the flavor to your liking. It’s also gentle on the stomach, which is a huge plus—unlike some of the sugary sports drinks out there that feel heavy or cause stomach upset.Bonus: I’m also a runner, and I struggle with severe leg cramps at night. I’ve been trying to get more electrolytes into my daily routine, and these have definitely helped. The only downside for me is that this version has a bit more sugar than I’d like. I don’t love stevia (so I avoid the zero-sugar kind), but I usually just use half a packet to keep the sugar lower. It still tastes great and works just as well.Final verdict: BUY THEM. All the flavors are great. Super effective, tasty, and customizable. I genuinely feel better since I started using these.

Liquid I.V. has become a must-have for my family during hot, physically demanding days—especially when working outside in the sweltering heat. It really helps with staying hydrated and avoiding that drained, dehydrated feeling.Watermelon is by far my favorite flavor—refreshing and not too sweet. Compared to other drink mixes, it definitely has a saltier taste, which makes sense considering the added electrolytes. It might be a bit of an adjustment if you're used to sweeter sports drinks, but it's well worth it for the effectiveness.Overall, it does exactly what it's meant to do—keeps you hydrated and energized when you need it most. I find it dissolves the best out of electrolyte mixes, never leaving any salty residue left in the bottles. Keep them in the car or side-by-side for a quick and easy pick me up.
