[pct-l] Water is Soooo Boring

[Ground Pounder]

"How's Your Trail?"  I use Zip Fizz on all my hikes and sometimes at work. I
love it and it really gives me the pick me up that I need. I've sent the
plastic tubes back to Zip Fizz and they sent me a plastic water bottle for
every 100 tubes. And Remember "Be Prepared" Ground Pounder Bill  "Semper Fi"

Before you try zipfizz -- which is marketed as a dietary supplement -- read
the Supplement Facts on the label. I thought it was a typographic error, or
something wrong with my eyes, when I saw there is 41677% -- yes, forty-one
thousand six hundred and sixty-seven percent -- of Vitamin B12. There's a
caffeine kick as well -- 100 mg of caffeine from "natural sources." I agree
about the over packaging. I have a hard time using or giving away all of the
empty plastic vials.  I buy it by the box at Costco but only use it on
certain bicycle rides.
