Question 1

How is the packaging?

Accepted Answer

You will receive it in a cardboard package but you will receive some damaged so expect it to happen if you order regular (for me it's about 1 out of every 4-5 canisters I've received (I have done S & S for 6-7 months a year the past couple of years)

Question 2

Does the lemon-lime powder have strong odor? Like bleach? Wondering if my can was contaminated.

Accepted Answer

I can understand the bleach smell as it can smell similar to lemon-scented cleaning products.  I've found that if I use too much powder and not enough water, the smell can intensify and can indeed smell a bit like bleach.  Just be sure to follow the suggested serving amounts and you should be okay, or use less if you find it too strong for your taste.

Question 3

While I am familiar with Blue 1, can anyone explain the ingredient “natural flavoring”?  I am wondering what that tastes like naturally

Accepted Answer

“Trade secret”… flavoring or flavor mix which meets legal requirements to be labeled natural.  I quite like it, but I also like adding a little vanilla syrup to it… might be heading towards diabetes…

Question 4

Why can i not get this on ebt

Accepted Answer

Depending on your state’s EBT program, e.g., California, the item vendor has to be enrolled in the given state’s EBT program in order to accept the EBT as payment for qualifying items. Again, using Californian as an example, qualifying items are just about any comestible, both food & beverage, with alcoholic beverages and a few oddball items as exceptions.

Someone stated that EBT is “mostly for food”. If one considers the examples of milk (cow, goat, soy almond), fruit juice, (orange, apple, grape, etc) and a number of other nutritive beverage items that are culturally relevant to the various and sundry ethnic communities in our country, beverage items should be part of a comprehensive benefit program.

It was suggested that Gatorade is not an appropriate utilization of the benefit. For those who work out of doors in areas where daytime temperatures can regularly head north of 100° F (≈38° C) 3-4 months out of the year, staying hydrated is an imperative. The powdered mix of the venerable sports beverage is an economical & acceptable option for hydration purposes and offers some nutritive benefits over water and is hands down superior to the carbonated beverages like sodas. In terms of a harm reduction model, as a general beverage, Gatorade is superior to soda.
