Powder kids drink/squash??

betterlife

thanks for all the replies
as others have said, its not going to be hot in december, we are going the week before christmas, so expecting it to be cold and wet. i have hot choc ready to take, but this will be to use in the hotel room as there`s 8 of us going (4 adults and 4 children) so i dont really want to be carrying flasks around the park, or carrying them in our suitcases where space will be limited anyway.
as for taking a bottle of squash with us, we have been disney paris this year already, and you are only allowed to take 10 x 100ml bottles of liquid with you on the plane, this includes medication (calpo for kids and lactalose for husband) shampoo/shower gel etc, so there really is`nt much room for that, but i could maybe take a few with double concerntrate or pure in to dilute, good idea thank you. also because we are staying in a disney hotel we gat taken straight to the park, and theres no hypermarkets in the resort, for buying lrge bottles, the only thing they sell in the resorts are the 330ml coke or dilute drinks (and water) but at nearly £2 each works out very expensive when buying for 4 children.
i will fill up bottles from breakfast daily, and i will take tea, coffee, hot choc and powdered milk for hotel.
ive seen the powder drink from us on ebay but quite expensive, thought i would be good as i could carry sachets and fill from water fountains , would be lighter than carrying aswell.
i will have a look on approved foods thank you.
thanks everyone, great help

I've seen tubs of kool-ade and gatorade powder in the world foods aisle in Tesco recently. Can't remember which favours though but I think this is what you're after

Try this - had it on many occasions

Screech Powder

From ARRSEpedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The old sachets of Screech powder (or crystals) were provided in your 24 Hour Ration Packs to make a refreshing fruit-flavoured drink for the hot days on exercise. There were several flaws in the scheme.
1. The only receptacle you had to mix the drink in was the issue black water bottle. The sachet had too much powder to make a single bottle, so actually getting a mix that was palatable was very difficult. What was left in the sachet was either lost, thrown away or leaked out to make your pocket the most attractive point for flying and crawling insects for miles around.
2. Once mixed, Screech was only drinkable when it was fresh out of the fridge. It's not normal to have a fridge handy when you are feeding off 24 Hour Ration Packs so it had to be drunk lukewarm at best - and on a hot day stored in a black plastic bottle, hot.
Screech was still a great favourite with the troops, and the only reason that could be possible was, I believe, because it was addictive. At first men would turn down the sharp, strong-tasting drink. It was difficult to mix and didn't taste good enough for all the effort. They'd soon be adding a ¼ of a sachet to give their water a little bit of taste and throwing the rest away.
As time went on the ¼ mix was no longer enough and the mix would get stronger and stronger; Screech would get scarce and new ration boxes would be raided and the sachets of powder would be removed. Soon the crystals would be poured straight into the mouth and camouflaged troops covered in cam cream would have bright orange, yellow or green mouths. Anyone with a normal coloured mouth would have their webbing raided and any sachets of Screech would be confiscated and passed amongst the rest.
In very bad cases, just before endex, the crystals would be going straight up the nose, thereby confirming the user as a hardcore Screech-!!!!!. The only reason for such behaviour is the addictiveness of the pretty coloured crystals. Screech can also be sold around camps and what-not. It's really funny to watch cadets and young students alike go hyper.

In Asda today I noticed they've started selling sachets to add to water, in the same section as the squash.
