I got to hand it to the Country Time Lemonade folks - their product
dissolves fast in water. The main problem for me is that it's a waste of
sugar. Unfortunately, I can't drink the stuff. It's harmless for
dishwashers but it would mess up my blood sugar. Looks like I'm stuck
with it. If I had known about the vinegar, I would have gone that route
but nobody told me about that.

You're probably right about the labels clogging up the filters. That's
probably the most common problem with dishwashers - filters that haven't
been cleaned.
