My husband teases me about my drink mix collection (because it's overflowing the box) and my tendency to reorganize it, and desire to constantly expand the collection, and the thought in which I put mixing the flavors. He says it's just an extention of my condiment addiction (He always jokes that he's going to buy a seperate fridge for my condiments).
I also add more water to most flavors. It's funny because a couple of my friends (and a few posts I've seen here) have said "I don't like Crystal Light because it's too sweet, I prefer Mio because I can add as little or as much as I want," and I say "Hello, you can do that with Crystal Light too - even if you don't want to mess with partial packages, you can always add more water."
I've even bought those little old-fashioned pastic barrettes that have a hinge on one side and a snap at the other (bought at the dollar store) and used them as clips for the drink mix packets. I fold the top of the bag over and then attach the barrette (the fold helps prevent any powder from seeping out if the barrette doesn't hold tight enough).

I do too, but I wish it (and all the deeply colored flavors) didn't have so much food coloring in it. I have to be so careful to use a straw and not spill on myself or the carpet, because otherwise I end up looking like a ginormous 4-year old with the kool-aid 'stache.
I often will dillute it with three to five parts diet sprite or lemonade to reduce the staining potential. Another good mixer is Dollar Tree's Wild Cherry sparkling water (it comes in Tropical flavor also).
