Actually Sabrina, Crystal Light has a few more carbs than that. Because of labelling laws in the US manufacturers can post 0 carbs when a product has less than .9g per recommended serving. This is why cream will say 0g carbs when in fact one tablespoon has .6g per tbsp and 6.6g per cup
Here's a discussion we had recently on Crystal light: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...&threadid=21913
I believe the actual carb count is 10 carbs per 2 quarts of CL.
HTH,
Nat
