I just looked up my local grocery store and they have individual pouches listed for $0.59 each. I'm honestly surprised it's still that close!

Probably lime. I can't think of what else it could be.

Go to the grocery store and look for something that looks like a green lemon. That's what a lime is.

Neither is water. Or the pitcher you have to put it in.

Let's also factor in the cost of the calories you need to burn when you're mixing it.

Ah yes. Harvested from the finest green they could find.
Raised and ripened under the tropical sun and freshly dehydrated and ground to preserve it.
