Walmart Unicorn Water: Yuck or Yum???
Today I will be trying the Walmart unicorn water that I bought yesterday after seeing another lemon8 post
🦄 I just want to start with some context about myself,, I love everything unicorn! And I am not against drinking ungodly amounts of food coloring, as we can see by the Pepto bismol hot chocolate I enjoyed over Christmas 😂😂
🦄 However this unicorn water... it is Powerful 😬
If you do 16 oz like it says, it is like the worst sugar-free bubblegum flavor you can imagine.
In 32 oz of water, it is still quite a strong and unnatural flavor 😂
If you drink from a Stanley or larger cup, you definitely won't need more than one packet. I can try watering it down even more to 40 or 60oz of water per packet.
✴️ Anyways, a little bit disappointing. I would typically like a unicorn flavored thing but this is not it lol...
In a couple days I will try the peach rings, mermaid and cotton candy flavors and update you guys, but I am not feeling hopeful.

Okay, so you've seen the buzz about Walmart Unicorn Water, maybe scrolled past it on your feed, and like me, you're probably wondering: what does unicorn water taste like? I recently embarked on my own taste test journey with the Great Value Unicorn drink mix, and while my initial experience was, shall we say, *powerful*, I've got some extra insights and tips if you're still intrigued or have a box sitting in your pantry. Many of us imagine 'unicorn flavor' to be something magical, fruity, perhaps a mix of berries and sweetness. However, for this Walmart version, the most prominent note I detected was an intense, artificial sugar-free bubblegum. It wasn't the whimsical, candy-like experience I hoped for. When mixed as suggested (16 oz), it was almost overwhelmingly *nasty*, as some would say, with a strong, unnatural aftertaste that lingered. From my personal taste test, I found that diluting it significantly improved the drinkability. While 32 oz made it 'drinkable but not great,' I'd suggest even more water, perhaps 40-60 oz per packet, especially if you're sensitive to artificial sweeteners. This really helps to mellow out that aggressive bubblegum flavor and makes it a bit more palatable. It becomes less about the 'unicorn' and more about a lightly flavored water with a hint of something sweet, rather than a full-on flavor explosion. For those who are still hoping to find a unicorn-themed drink mix that delivers, or if you've already bought the variety pack and are dreading the other flavors like Mermaid, Peach Ring, and Cotton Candy, don't lose all hope just yet. Sometimes, these mixes are better when combined with other elements. For instance, a splash of real fruit juice (like cranberry or white grape) might help mask the artificiality, or mixing it with sparkling water could give it a refreshing fizz, distracting from the flat artificial taste. Thinking outside the box might just save that drink mix from going to waste. While the Great Value Unicorn water didn't hit the mark for me, experimenting can sometimes lead to a surprisingly enjoyable concoction. Remember, taste is subjective, so what's 'nasty' for one might be 'drinkable' for another with a bit of customization!
