The experts also say that most don&#8217;t consume an adequate amount of fiber every day, except for Jack LaLanne, prune lovers, and panda bears.  I know I need more fiber in my diet, but I feel there&#8217;s a major problem with fiber.  It&#8217;s just not flamboyant enough.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, there&#8217;s Pink Lemonade Metamucil which now makes fiber a little more FA-BU-LOUS.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it&#8217;s better for me to get my fiber from real foods like whole wheat bread, brown rice, bran cereal, vegetables, fruit, Taco Bell&#8217;s bean burrito, and Idaho potato vodka, but they just don&#8217;t have the sense of style that the Pink Lemonade Metamucil does.  Many of the foods that have a decent amount of fiber come in the color brown, but despite all the efforts of UPS, brown has NEVER been in style.  Some of you might be saying vegetables and fruits are colorful, however, I say to those people, J. Crew clothing is also colorful, but I would never be seen wearing any of it.<\/p>\n<p>The Pink Lemonade Metamucil tastes like pink lemonade and for something that&#8217;s sugar free, it&#8217;s surprisingly sweet.  Thank you, aspartame.  It&#8217;s just as flavorful, fiber-rific, fierce and fabulous as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2007\/10\/21\/berry-burst-metamucil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Berry Burst Metamucil<\/a>.  It&#8217;s also several times tastier and better looking than the plain old original orange Metamucil, which makes people drinking it look like they should be at a Florida farmers forum.  The cloudy pink color of the Pink Lemonade Metamucil is totally fabulous, although its slightly grainy texture is not so hot, but it&#8217;s what I expected from a fiber supplement.  However, if you like your fiber to be as flamboyant as a flamingo or Richard Simmons, this Metamucil&#8217;s for you.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Mfyik3pIUBk&#038;hl=en\"\/><\/object><br \/>\n<small><a href=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mfyik3pIUBk>Click here for link to YouTube clip<\/a><\/small> <\/center><\/p>\n<p><small>(Supplement Facts &#8211; 1 rounded tsp &#8211; 20 calories, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of dietary fiber, 2 grams of soluble fiber, 0 grams of sugar, 0.5 milligrams of iron, 35 milligrams of potassium, and 50 grams of fierce.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Pink Lemonade Metamucil<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $10.34 (24.1 ounces)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Wal-Mart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Flavorful, fiber-rific, fierce and fabulous.
