Tailwind Rapid Hydration Variety Pack Review

So I was needing a new electrolyte powder and decide to go with Tailwinds variety pack after seeing enough ads over the last year. 
The powder dissolves easily with a couple shakes in my soft flasks. The flavors are on the light side, but I like that on runs. I don't want a super sweet heavy drink. Most runs I go with just water, and this is a nice upgrade. Kinda like the La Croix of hydration powders.
I like the sugar that they use to sweeten it with. I typically use gels or similar on runs so the extra calories are an added perk for me. 
They also do a good mix of the key 3 electrolytes of sodium, potassium, and magnesium that we need to replenish when we sweat. 
At most some people will be turned off by the lighter flavor and possibly the real sugar, but for me the fake sugars like monk fruit and stevia are just too much for my pallet. 

Packaging

The packaging is easy to tear open and they lie flat well if I need to carry extras in my small shorts pockets. About the size of a tea bag package.
