  • I also liked the drink, but was a little embarrassed to admit it!

  • It wasn't too bad...but it's not something I would drink on a regular basis.  I think it tastes like flat orange soda.

    Mine actually had fizz so it tasted like a less sweet version of orange soda.

    THIS!

  • I didn't think it was awful either.  I'm just so used to drinking water the sweetness was a little much for me to drink in such a short period of time.  It definitely wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though.
  • I kind of like it, too. :)  It reminds me of "Little Hugs" drinks.  (Do they still make these?)

  • Mine had fizz and was ice cold, I loved it and was ok doing the 1hr and 3 hr test just to drink it :P
  • Ew, I did not like it. Fizz may have made it better.

    One of my friends got to eat pancakes w/ maple syrup instead of drinking the orange crap - I was jealous!

  • I also liked it :)  I was so scared after hearing horror stories of girls throwing up and all I could think was what was their problem?? haha.  It did make me super jittery after though!

  • It was hard to chug down - but I wasn't used to drinking that much sugar at once - especially when I was pregnant. It actually made me feel nauseous and light headed - that was worse than having to drink it.

  • I didn't fast before, ate a couple mini muffins and even considered telling them I needed another one to do it again ;)

    Mine, no fizz, but love it! I hate orange soda and most things orange flavored (except OJ and oranges), but this stuff, yum yum.

  • I LOVED this, with my sweet tooth, it wasn't nearly as "bad" as everyone had said it was.  hehehehe

  • Agreed.  I had the screening early on (~16 weeks?) to see if I was diabetic and didn't know it yet.  It wasn't bad, and makes me wonder what all the fuss is about. 

    I had the actual GD 1-hour screen last week, and "failed" it, so I'll be doing the 3-hour test this week.  The drink is the only part of the 3-hour test I'm not dreading.  Getting up to be at the lab at 6:30AM, and sitting around waiting for all the blood draws for 3 hours, then making up the hour+ at work... not so fun.  :)  I do have a couple of good books to bring with me.Geeked
