For a long time I have lacked a good source of powdered drinks (and have plagued messrs Fenna and others for screech :lol )

On another forum, I cam across a link to this drinks company

http://www.drink-bolero.com/

They make a powdered drink (in Isotonic, energy or sugar free versions)

The sachets are very small and make 1.5l of drink (a lot smaller than screech). They are clearly mostly "E numbers", so I didn't expect much, but ordered two "mixed" packs at £10 a pop (for about 25 sachets - one of each variety). Most are sugar free - so just flavour really.

The verdict?

Very nice. Much less "chemically" than screech. Sort of like cheap sugar free squash really. Each sachet is about tea bag size. In some ways a shame they don't make a 1l version for camping - but I suspect half a sachet or so would work well.

Well worth a look for light camping soft drinks or for taking away the puritab taste (or for leaving in the car for smalls)

Looks interesting, I get something called Tang out here that comes in sachets that make 200ml (allegedly, I find it a little strong at that level, preferring 300ml per sachet)

Someone on BB sent me a couple of sachets of Tang. Possibly the nicest powdered drink I have ever tried.

I'd say the flavour I tried of this stuff is probably nicer than tang (personal taste of course). Knocks spots off powdered lucozade etc.

I can get Tang in 2kg tubs in the supermarket, but for work (where I drink it) I get the sachets, which cost around £1 for 12.

I remember when they first introduced Tang to the market in the late 1960s. It was developed for NASA and the adverts were to, "drink what the astronauts drink." Still selling strong over 40 years later. Probably second to Gatorade now though.

Powdered drinks here in Bulgaria are readily available and cost very little. We have loads of different flavours. The ones I use are for 2ltr mixes.

We also get a variety of fruit teas. My mates current favourite being banana! must try it lol

I used to drink Tang when I lived in Canada, it was tasty enough. It's interesting how other countries have a lot more variety on powdered drinks.
