while taking the 3 hr GTT today and trying to chug down the orange drink, a nurse walks by and casually tells me the orange is the sweetest flavor.

Shouldn't there be a disclaimer?

Anyway, my choices were orange, lemon-lime, and fruit punch. I should've picked another flavor but had already started on the orange.

Maybe she meant the sweetest tasting? I'm pretty sure they should all have the same amount of sugar -- 50g for 10oz.

I have only tried the orange(Crazy Sweet Sunkist) and lemon-line( Sweet Sprite). But I heard that the fruit punch is more bearable to drink.

that's why I said "flavor". I think it'd be easier to stomach a less sugary tasting drink.

I didn't get a choice, I was given the orange one. It's sitting in my fridge ready to be consumed on Monday...yuck!

none of the flavors has any more sugar than another flavor. They just have different tastes.

it tastes like flat soda. Don't make it into being a bigger deal than it really is. It's not very different than stuffing your face with a big piece of birthday cake. Confused

I had fruit punch. I found it delish. Embarrassed

I didn't say it did.

because other flavors taste less sweet, it is supposedly more tolerable

They gave me room temp orange. It tasted like flat sunkist. Not too shabby.

Mags04 · February 2011

I had fruit punch and it wasn't bad at all.

Raquellyo · February 2011

I went in thinking the worst after seeing everyone's comments on the drink....I was surprised that it wasn't bad at all. Very easy to drink (orange anyway)...

A-ha! Thought you were saying they should have given you the least sugary drink not the least sugary tasting. Sorry!

I kept the orange one cold and didn't think it was bad at all. I'm not a soda drinker, but this really wasn't painful to drink!

Or a big glass of pop.

The level of dramaz on this board over a damn glass of juice is just kind of hilarious. If this is the worst thing you've done lately, you live a charmed life.

I didn't have a choice...I had orange. It wasn't bad at all, but I sure as heck would have preferred a big piece of birthday cake. Smile

I also had the fruit punch and had no problems drinking it or keeping it down.

stargzr77 · February 2011

I've had the orange one twice. It tasted fine and really was no big deal. The nurse at my OB's office said the orange is the prefereed choice of the 3 flavor wise at that office, so that is what I picked.

A can of coke has 39 grams of sugar and a snickers bar has around 30 so if you drink a soda and eat a candy bar you are consuming more sugar than the 50 grams in that little bottle. (A guy I used to work with would have this for his breakfast every morning).

I had the fruit punch and it wasn't that bad just a little sweeter than regular fruit punch plus it was cold so that helped.

pinkflipflops44 · February 2011

I had the orange one and it was delicious. I chugged that sucker in a minute and a half. ahhhh..

robbie3982 · February 2011

I had orange with DS and lemon-lime this time. I didn't think the orange was bad, but I actually liked the lemon-lime! If we go for a 3rd I think I'll request the fruit punch.

For those of you who think they taste bad, are you sipping? I've chugged both times.

smilingjb · February 2011

I asked the nurse which one taste the least yucky and she said orange! It just taste like a very sweet sunkist drink! Make sure it's cold!

Swimfly35 · February 2011

I like lemon lime.

Totally. I've done so much eye rolling over these posts its not even funny.

i had the lemon-lime for both the 1 hour and the 3 hour and it was not to bad. just during the 3 hour i threw up but i dont think it was because of the drink but rather the fact that i was fasting and drawing blood.

thecatsfancy · February 2011

I had a 75g orange and it tasted like flat Sunkist...not overly sweet, IMO. *shrug*
